Like any good outfit, the way you dress your windows is best done in strategic layers. A sheer shade or blind to filter light, layered with a thicker curtain for more practical light-blocking and thermal regulation, works best. But there is a balance to strike between well-dressed windows and layered treatments that simply feel too heavy.
"The most effective way to optimize both style and function is layering," agrees Raymond Chen, founder of TWOPAGES Curtains. No matter what combination of curtain types you're using — whether that's a frosted privacy film framed by a semi-sheer curtain or a roman blind followed by blackout curtains — the ideal formula for layering window treatments depends on how you want to interact with the light in your space.
