Instructions about the liner

Quick answer: what does a liner do?

A liner changes privacy, light control, fabric body, and how finished curtains or shades look from the back. Privacy lining can soften visibility, while blackout lining helps darken bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms.

• Use privacy lining when the window faces neighbors, a sidewalk, or a bright street.
• Use blackout lining when sleep, glare reduction, or room darkening is the priority.
• Compare fabric swatches with lining needs before ordering custom sizes.

Lining is not only a technical add-on. It affects how the fabric hangs, how much daylight passes through, how the color reads from inside the room, and how much coverage the window treatment gives at night. If a room needs both soft daylight and evening privacy, compare sheers, privacy lining, and blackout lining before finalizing the order.

For outside mount Roman shades or drapery panels, finished size and side overlap also matter. A blackout liner cannot remove every edge gap if the window treatment is measured too narrowly.
