The age old question – should you change your curtains with the seasons – never seems to go away, and we swap out our duvets so should we follow suit with our curtains too? 

During Victorian times curtains were heavier and with the lack of central heating, were much needed to keep in the warmth and the draughts out. When the seasons changed, they did tend to swap them out for lighter-weight designs. It was also a time to check them over, clean curtains and repair any tears that might have appeared during the winter.
