Sometimes called Voile curtains, sheers create a soft, delicate ambience while allowing plenty of natural light to flow into your home. The timeless elegance of sheer and semi-sheer curtains makes them an ideal choice for adding interior privacy while still maintaining a light, airy and open feeling with your window treatment in both traditional and modern homes.
Choosing the right fabric for your sheer curtains involves more than deciding on the perfect colour to match your interior design.
The unique properties, texture and the way various types of sheer fabric hang, along with functionality and performance for light filtering and durability, make some voile curtain textiles better suited for dressing windows than others.
Amaru's decor consultants can provide expert advice on choosing the best textiles for residential sheer curtains for homes and holiday houses through to more hardwearing sheers for high traffic commercial window treatments in offices, hotels and motels.

The sheer’s heading refers to where the top of the sheer drapery panel attaches to the track or rod. The sheer heading you choose can dramatically affect your finished curtains' overall look and will also influence the type of rod or track you can use. Amaru's custom sheers are available in a variety of curtain heading styles to achieve your desired look.
Our custom sheer curtains can be operated using a number of opening combinations:
Sheers are ideal for softening the look of any room, from a modern formal living room to a newborn’s nursery. Pale coloured or plain white sheer curtains can tone down rooms that contain dramatically coloured or patterned feature décor, enhancing these elements rather than making the room feel too busy. Dark grey or black sheer curtains are less light reflective and easier to see through than sheer white curtains, making them great for interior privacy without sacrificing day time views.

Sheer curtains can help to create a uniform sense of balance and symmetry throughout your home regardless of whether you have different sized and shaped windows in a room.
Layer your custom sheer curtain with a matching colour coordinated lining panel on a separate track to create a simple soft window treatment that offers both night and daytime privacy.
Architects and interior designers have long used curtains to accentuate windows and openings and create an illusion of greater ceiling height. The long vertical soft folds of floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains, especially when used on windows positioned well above floor height, will naturally draw the eye upwards, helping to make a room feel larger than it is.
No.Sheer and semi-sheer curtains only provide a visual barrier into an interior during the day because of the abundance of external light. When homeowners typically turn on their internal lights at night, this reverses that visual barrier, making it easy to see into the home and harder to see out. As such, we recommend layering your sheers with a blind. blockout curtain or having a matched coloured lining panel on a separate track to ensure you have privacy after dark.
Although most people choose to leave their window sheers closed as a daytime privacy screen, they can be easily opened and closed at will as required, provided they are fitted to a track.
