Still unsure whether to choose linen or cotton curtains? Here’s a breakdown by lifestyle and decor style.
1. By Climate
-
Hot & Humid? → Linen (wickes moisture, keeps rooms cool).
-
Cold Weather? → Heavy Cotton (better insulation).
2. By Maintenance
-
Low-Maintenance? → Cotton (machine-washable, less wrinkling).
-
Luxury Feel? → Linen (ages beautifully but requires care).
3. By Aesthetic
-
Scandinavian/Minimalist → Linen (natural texture).
-
Farmhouse/Traditional → Cotton (crisp, tailored look).
4. By Budget
-
Affordable: Cotton (starts at ~$20/panel).
-
Investment: Linen (starts at ~$50/panel).
Pro Tip: For the best of both worlds, try a linen-cotton blend—softer than pure linen but more durable.
