How to Choose Lining
Lining is the unseen layer that decides whether a drapery panel hangs as designer or hangs as a curtain.
Lining is the discipline behind every drapery panel that hangs correctly. The studio specifies lining and interlining as default on every primary-room project we accept.
Standard cotton sateen lining
The studio's default lining. Protects face from UV, gives back-of-panel uniformity, holds shape over time.
Three-pass blackout
For bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms. Fully opaque, sewn-in, paired with side channels for true blackout.
Interlining
The middle layer that gives the panel its weight, body, and fall. Acoustic and thermal performance both improve.
