They also have a lovely colour collection with colours such as Gold, Rose and Chartreuse to accompany their gentle nature. Furthermore, because they are made of polyester, these easy-to-maintain curtains provide a more affordable fabric alternative compared to expensive silk.

Aside from silky curtains, Sulkana has 15 other fabrics under Sulkana Rotana. These fabrics have the same dense weaving patterns as Sulkana Geomana. However, instead of producing a smooth, soft cloth, Sulkana Rotana has a texture similar to worn fabrics because it uses threads of different complementary colours and thicknesses. This rustic vibe and its earthy colour palette elevate the colour tone and vibrancy, giving off a lively, casual and comfy aura.

Regardless of which style you choose, Sulkana fabrics have excellent colour retention and industry-grade durability, which means the quality and vibrancy of your fabrics will last for quite some time.

Delegate - Classic Solids with A Twist

Delegate is an excellent collection that provides classic and attractive solid-colour curtains. However, what makes this curtain collection and design a bestseller is its three weaving styles. Each style has its own thread density. For example, Delegate Agent has a tight weaving pattern, forming a durable duo-tone curtain. In contrast, Delegate Nominee has a looser thread density but has a more colourful thread to elevate the main colour’s vibrancy.

Regardless of which Delegate fabric you choose, the beauty of this collection is that it does everything to enhance the fabric’s natural colours, which support humble and minimalist designs.

Day Break: Breaking a New Day with Rustic Sheets

While most curtain designs for sheer tend to have solid white or light grey colours to capture their gentle elegance, the Day Break collection is an explosion of colour. If you like exploring different colours for your sheers, this collection has 38 coloured fabrics. If you want more shade for your curtains, you can choose the darker shades of grey in the collection if you prefer more shade or one of the pastel sheers like Sunshine, Petal or Sky designs.

But what makes Day Break different from other fabrics is its grainy texture. Day Break is made of voile: a mixture of linen, cotton and polyester. Because of the different kinds of thread used, the thread lines are visually broken, forming a glitch-like pattern. This gives the smooth cloth a more natural and casual feel.

Day Break fabrics are also extremely light because of their higher thread count. However, it is heavy enough not to be blown away wildly by the wind. Instead, the soft cloth flows like water with the wind while staying in place.

Flo - Colourful Translucent Curtains

While most of the colours look opaque at first glance, they give off a lovely translucent hue when hung against a glass door or a window and folded neatly into soft pleats.

This collection is perfect for homeowners who love trying new styles for different occasions. Just note that the coloured sheer may become a light filter for your room. While you can use a cool blue light filter to your advantage, it may clash with the colour of your walls and floor. Darker shades of colour will also lead to darker shades for your curtains.
