Curtains for Living Rooms: 4 Fabrics for Soft Light and Texture

Living rooms need curtains that do a lot: soften the light, add warmth and texture, and still let the room feel bright. Here are four Motion Collection fabrics that do exactly that.

Recover: a soft, elegant voile

Recover voile fabric close-up

Recover is a fine, soft voile that filters daylight beautifully and gives you privacy without making the room dark. It drapes gracefully, looks lovely in a wave heading, and is woven entirely from recycled polyester. Choose from 16 colours. See Recover

Brush: a subtle herringbone

Brush has a gentle herringbone pattern woven into the fabric, so it adds interest up close while staying calm from across the room. It comes in 18 colours. See Brush

Infusion: the look of linen

Infusion linen-textured fabric close-up

Infusion is a linen-textured fabric with a relaxed, natural feel, made with a majority of recycled fibre. With 25 colours, it is an easy way to bring warmth and softness into a living space. See Infusion

Raffin: linen with a mix of colours

Raffin linen-look fabric close-up

Raffin is a linen-look weave that mixes thicker, slubbed yarns with finer threads, creating a soft, open grid. In many of its 10 colourways, tones are woven together, such as ivory with oatmeal, so the fabric has a gentle, natural depth that changes with the light. See Raffin

Layering voiles and curtains

For the best of both, pair a voile like Recover at the window with heavier curtains in Brush, Infusion or Raffin in front. You get soft, private daylight in the day and warmth and privacy at night. You can see this combination in our Multyfarnham project, which used Infusion curtains with Recover voiles.
