How to Decorate With Sheer Curtains Like a Designer — Ideas That Go Way Beyond Just Putting Them Up Over Your Windows

A small living room with sheer, white, recessed curtains hanging on the windows and walls. There is a marble fireplace and white furniture in the room.

Some rooms just inherently crave that sense of romance and poetry that comes from a little bit of flowing fabric, and that's where decorating with sheer curtains can help. What was once an empty wall or a naked window opening can be completely transformed into a charming design moment with a delicate, barely-there drape.

"Sheer curtains are like a soft filter for your home — diffusing sunlight into a gentle glow while adding an airy, romantic elegance to any room," says London-based interior designer, Nicola Crawford. They pool and puddle with poise, painting any space with a more elegant and romantic touch.
