Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to synthetic polyester blends, these curtains offer superior breathability and a distinct tactile feel that doesn't hold onto static or dust as easily. While cotton curtains offer a smoother finish, the Belgian Flax Linen Curtain provides much more visual depth and a characteristic drape that improves with every wash. In comparison to blackout drapes, these are intended to maintain a bright, airy atmosphere while obscuring the view from the outside.

What to know before buying

1. Linen is a natural fiber and will have slight variations in weave and color, adding to its character.
2. These panels are sold individually, so you will likely need to purchase two for a standard window.
3. The fabric will develop a soft 'rumpled' look over time, which is intentional for the linen aesthetic.
4. Dry cleaning is recommended to avoid significant shrinkage and to maintain the integrity of the fibers.
5. Expect some initial linting during the first few weeks of hanging as the natural fibers settle.
