Your comprehensive resource for eco-friendly window treatment inspiration
Sustainable Fabric Types
Our commitment to sustainability begins with carefully selecting fabrics that have minimal environmental impact while providing exceptional performance and aesthetic appeal.
Organic Cotton
Grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, our organic cotton is GOTS certified, ensuring it meets rigorous ecological and social standards throughout the production process. Cotton fabrics offer a soft, breathable option that works beautifully for light-filtering curtains.
Hemp
One of nature's most sustainable fibers, hemp requires minimal water, no pesticides, and enriches the soil it grows in. Hemp fabrics offer exceptional durability, natural UV protection, and antimicrobial properties, making them perfect for window treatments in high-humidity areas.
Linen
Made from flax plants, linen is biodegradable and requires significantly less water than conventional cotton. Our linen curtains offer a timeless, textured aesthetic with excellent breathability and natural temperature regulation properties.
Recycled Polyester
Created from post-consumer plastic bottles, our recycled polyester options give new life to waste materials. These fabrics offer excellent durability, color retention, and are particularly suitable for thermal blinds and blackout curtains.
Styling Tips for Eco-Friendly Window Treatments
Layer for Efficiency
Combining sheer curtains with heavier drapes creates not only visual interest but also practical temperature control. During winter, closed drapes over sheers provide insulation, while in summer, sheer curtains alone allow light while filtering UV rays.
Embrace Natural Hues
Undyed fabrics in their natural colors not only reduce chemical processing but also create a timeless aesthetic that complements any decor. Look for oatmeal, ivory, and soft grey tones that reflect light beautifully.
Choose Low-Impact Prints
When selecting patterned fabrics, opt for those printed with low-impact or water-based dyes. Botanical prints not only bring nature indoors but also tend to use fewer chemical colorants than complex patterns.
Room-by-Room Window Treatment Guide
Living Room
The heart of your home deserves window treatments that balance light control with privacy and aesthetic appeal. Consider layering sheer organic cotton curtains with heavier hemp or linen drapes for flexibility. Thermal linings can add energy efficiency without compromising style.
Bedroom
Quality sleep requires effective light control. Our recycled polyester blackout curtains or cellular blinds provide excellent room darkening while maintaining eco-credentials. For a softer look, layer with decorative linen curtains in calming natural tones.
Kitchen
For this high-moisture area, opt for low-maintenance, washable fabrics like hemp or recycled polyester. Roman blinds offer a clean look that won't obstruct counter space, while café curtains provide privacy without blocking natural light.
Bathroom
Privacy is paramount in bathrooms, but moisture resistance matters too. Consider water-resistant recycled polyester blinds or hemp-blend curtains that naturally resist mildew. Frosted window films offer another eco-friendly option for permanent privacy.
Caring for Your Sustainable Window Treatments
Gentle Cleaning
Most natural fabrics benefit from gentle care. Vacuum with a soft brush attachment between washes, and when cleaning is necessary, opt for cold water and eco-friendly detergents. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
Sun Protection
While our fabrics are selected for their durability, all textiles can fade with prolonged sun exposure. Consider rotating curtains between windows or using sheer layers to protect heavier fabrics during peak sunlight hours.
End-of-Life Considerations
When it's time to replace your window treatments, consider repurposing the fabric for other household uses. Natural fibers can be composted, while our recycled polyester can be returned to us for our recycling program.
