For maximum effect, experts recommend tightly woven fabrics, floor-length styles, and adding thermal linings, while ensuring curtains are tucked behind radiators to avoid trapping heat against the glass.Read the full article at The IndependentYou can find all types of fabrics across the Peter Lees website, including curtain lining. http://www.peterleesfabrics.co.uk/news/the-independent-looks-at-the-return-of-heavy-curtains http://www.peterleesfabrics.co.uk/news/the-independent-looks-at-the-return-of-heavy-curtains Fri, 09 Jan 2026 10:11:49 +0000 thespruce.com suggests designers are moving away from grommet-style curtains, stark black-and-white pairings, and unlined panels in 2026.

Key tips for hanging curtains include extending them wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling to make windows appear larger and more luxurious. They recommend layering sheer and solid fabrics for flexibility and depth, and using valances or concealed tracks to add sophistication. Furthermore, curtains can be used to soften a space, introduce pattern, and even divide rooms by going beyond the window.Learn more in this article from Livingetc magazine. http://www.peterleesfabrics.co.uk/news/interior-designers-share-tips-on-hanging-curtains http://www.peterleesfabrics.co.uk/news/interior-designers-share-tips-on-hanging-curtains Wed, 08 Oct 2025 05:59:03 +0100 Join our €5RollendsClub€ WhatsApp Group for extra benefits on our Roll Ends.Whilst new Roll Ends are added to the website daily - €5RollendsClub€ members will receive a €heads up€ when a sizeable batch of Roll Ends has been added to the website and thereby get €first dibs€.NEW FEATURE FOR 2026!We will include in your 5 Roll End order FREE Plain Roll Ends.

Key strategies include opting for heavy fabrics like velvet or wool, which act as better thermal barriers.For maximum warmth, choose longer length curtains that lightly touch the floor to trap drafts. Layering a sheer curtain with a heavier one creates an insulating air pocket. You can also attach thermal insulated liners or curtain reflectors to existing drapes to effectively prevent indoor heat from escaping through the windows.See more ideas in this Homes & Gardens article, and don't forget to check out our lining options. http://www.peterleesfabrics.co.uk/news/curtain-hacks-for-warmer-homes http://www.peterleesfabrics.co.uk/news/curtain-hacks-for-warmer-homes Mon, 01 Sep 2025 11:02:39 +0100 Changing curtains with the seasons is a time-honoured practice - in Victorian times it was commonly done, but with today's fabrics it isn't practiced as often.While swapping to lighter fabrics like linen can refresh a room, modern thermal-lined curtains are so efficient at retaining heat in winter and keeping rooms cool in summer, they can be used all year round.
