Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Unlined Cafe Curtains Sheer or See-Through in Daylight? 

They can be both! Our sheer curtains are see-through. However, we also have medium and heavyweight cafe curtains. Medium curtains will let in daylight while offering privacy. Meanwhile, our heavyweight curtains give your room more of a cozy feeling and give you the most privacy.

In addition, we have blackout lining for your cafe curtains. While some light will be let in through the window due to the nature of cafe curtains, blackout lining can hide more light.

When Measuring the Width of a Space for Cafe Curtains, How Much Do I Add So the Curtain Bunches Properly? 

First, use a measuring tape to measure the window’s width. Ideally, you’ll want the cafe curtains to fill your windowsill. Therefore, your cafe curtains’ width should be about 1.5 to 2 times the size of your windowsill. 

Then you can measure the length. With the length, remember that cafe curtains cover only the lower half of the window. So the length will be from the curtain rod to the middle of the window, with some room for preference. Typically, your desired length should be a little above the windowsill. The right height of your cafe curtains depends on the look you’re trying to achieve. For instance, if you want your drapes to give a full look with a lot of charm, the curtain panels should be 1.5-2.5 times the length of the window opening. 

How Long Should Cafe Curtains Be?

Unlike traditional living room curtains, cafe curtains are designed for partial coverage. In other words, you should measure slightly above the window’s midpoint, or a little above the lower sash. The goal of cafe curtains is to let a little sunlight in while providing privacy. 

The exact length will depend on your window size and look. Shorter lengths allow for more natural light, while longer lengths can feel a little more cozy. We offer custom-sized cafe curtains so you can get the exact fit.

Where to Hang Them?

Cafe curtains work well if you want natural light in your room, and also privacy. Cafe curtains are popular in kitchens, as they let in sunlight to energize but also keep prying eyes from watching. Another space is the bathroom, letting some light in while giving privacy.

These cafe curtains can be hung in any room with smaller windows or any area where you want light with privacy. You’ll find at least one room in your house where cafe curtains can be an excellent fit. 

Are Orders for Cafe Curtains for Two Panels or One?

One. All curtains in our collection are sold individually. However, you can simply adjust the quantity in your shopping cart if you want more than one of our cafe curtains.

What Cafe Curtain Do You Have That Gives Privacy at Night? I Have a Bathroom Window

Traditionally, cafe curtains have no linings, which offers little window privacy. However, our cafe curtains also come in partial and total blackout linings. These linings for our cafe curtains come in cotton and blackout.

What Kind of Hardware Should I Use?

It depends on the heading type of your cafe curtains. A tension rod is all you need if you have a rod pocket, tab tops, or eyelet cafe curtains. Any other types may require clips and rings. Always double-check before ordering curtains.

Can They Be Layered With Other Window Treatments? 

Yes! Roman shades, full drapes, and other curtains can add depth and texture to your window. Plus, it gives you variety. One layer may contain blackout linings when you want to sleep. Another may have sheer panels to let the light in. You can try different color combinations, such as blue and green, or different shades of yellow to get the perfect look.

Do You Make Custom Size Cafe Curtains?

Yes! All of our cafe curtains are made in-house. If you have a specific window need, contact us and we can create curtains that will suit your unique needs.

Are They Suitable for Bay Windows?

Yes, cafe curtains can work with this type of window. Ideally, you’ll need a more flexible curtain rod so you can pull the curtains easily. Otherwise, they will fit just fine!
