What Makes Mediterranean Charm Curtains Special

The mediterranean decor has some special qualities that help make rooms capture the feeling of being connected to the Mediterranean region. 

Mediterranean curtains play with fun combos of colors, prints, and textures that remind people of the easygoing Mediterranean coasts.

Let's check out key features of this style:

 Earthy Natural Colors

Relaxed earthy colors seen around the Mediterranean are big here. Think:

• Rich orange terra cotta

• Olive green

• Light brown ochre

• Creamy beige

• Other earth browns

Linen or nubby cotton curtains in these grounded tones have an organic vibe.

Stripes, Jacquard & Prints

Classic stripes in navies, reds, or yellows make anyone think of beach umbrellas in Italy or Greece!

Geometric prints like Greek keys or Moorish tiles also say Mediterranean, as do floral vines with regional fruits and blooms.

Solid Brights

While prints shine in Mediterranean, solids in coastal colors also excite. We mean vivid:

• Sky blue

• Sunny yellow/orange

• Rich red tomatoes

• Eggplant purple

• Emerald green

Solid faux silk curtains in any of these colors pep up rooms!

Textured Fabrics

This look adores breezy natural textured fabrics like linen, loose cotton, or blends. It keeps rooms feeling casually polished - just like homes along the easygoing Mediterranean!

Details like lace or embroidery on curtain sides reinforce the handmade vibe.

Ombre Colors

Ombre colors that gradually shift from light to dark conjure memories of epic Mediterranean sunsets over the sea. They add awesome depth and pizzazz when used on curtains and complemented well.

Common Mediterranean Style Curtains Materials

For materials, natural breathable fabrics that gently filter sunlight help rooms feel airier and brighter.

Linen Drapes

As a classic Mediterranean textile, linen provides relaxed elegance and nicely diffuses light. Our linen curtains come in different weights and earth tones suiting this look.

Cotton Curtains

Billowy cotton curtains also boost the casual Mediterranean mood in rooms, making them feel pleasantly breezy and welcoming. As an affordable, easy-care material, cotton is perfect here!

Blends - Polyester, Gauze & Faux Linen

Fabric blends mix advantages of different materials. Think:

• Soft linen + budget-friendly cotton

• Airy linen + classy silk

• Low-maintenance  and washable cotton/polyester

Go for natural fibers when possible for breathability!

Chenille

For a modern touch, plush chenille curtains offer a wonderfully textured update to traditional Mediterranean style. With their signature raised woven patterns, chenille mediterranean curtains bring exciting dimension and visual impact.

These heavyweight curtains hold their voluminous shape beautifully while allowing some light to filter through.

Smooth chenille comes in opulent solids and dramatic ombre colors that feel both lush and welcoming. They make perfect accent pieces to balance lighter breezy curtains used in other parts of the home.

Shop Perfect Mediterranean Window Curtains by Functionality

Along with appearance, Mediterranean spaces need multifunctional curtains that look good but also provide privacy or insulation suiting the climate and architecture.

Light Filtering

Most Mediterranean buildings are designed to let in ample natural sunlight. To match this style, light filtering curtains softly diffuse incoming daylight to bathe rooms in an ambient glow.

Breezy linen and cotton gently moderate brightness from northern and western exposures. Their open weaves temper views outside while welcoming optimal light inside.

Blackout Curtains & Room Darkening Curtains

To prevent harsh summer sunlight or conserve warmth in cooler months, blackout curtains are hugely useful. Pair a breezy light-filtering sheer with a matching room darkening under-curtain for customized privacy and insulation.

Alternatively, choose thick opaque blackout curtains in textured natural fabrics like linen, cotton, jute or canvas for spaces like bedrooms and home theaters. Rich navy blue or chocolate brown blackouts suit most color schemes.

Privacy

Maintaining visual privacy is often essential in Mediterranean homes despite the welcoming culture. Flowy sheer tiers allow ambient light in while preventing clear visibility inside.

Privacy curtains in weather-friendly natural fabrics make the perfect balance for spaces like kitchens, bathrooms or poolside patios. Subtly textured sheers enhance privacy while transmitting ambient light.

Thermal Curtains

To regulate room temperatures, insulating thermal barrier window curtains provide excellent insulation against seasonal swings. With heat-trapping air pockets between layers, these curtains prevent heat transfer through glass.

Thermal options in colors like wine, olive green and ochre blend seamlessly into most Mediterranean color schemes.

Sizing Guide To Find The Best Mediterranean Curtains

How to Measure Your Windows:

To find curtains that fit your windows perfectly, you’ll need to measure both the width and height.

Use a tape measure to measure across the top inside edge of the window frame to get the width.

For the height, measure from the very top inside edge of the frame down to where you want the curtains to end. If getting floor length panels, add about 20 inches.

Length

We offer Mediterranean curtains ranging from café to extra long floor length. Choose the ideal drop length based on your window height and room. Knee to calf lengths allow max air flow while long curtains make dramatic statements.
