The difference between Lined and Unlined curtains

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Wellington (The Wash House)

Curtains are an essential part of every home’s decor. And having the right curtains can be the last piece to the puzzle - the furnishing that makes the room, while having the wrong ones . . . well, no one wants to look at bad curtains.

Curtains are an essential part of every home’s decor. And having the right curtains can be the last piece to the puzzle - the furnishing that makes the room, while having the wrong ones . . . well, no one wants to look at bad curtains.

When given an option, should the curtains be lined or non-lined? What are the differences? We'll find out in this article.

Lined curtains, as the name would suggest, have a supplemental lining on the inside of the curtain. This lining can be multifunctional so it’s best to consider what you want to achieve with your curtains.

Sometimes the lining is simply for decoration, giving the curtain a bit of depth and extra weight, perhaps offering a splash of colour to offset the primary colour of the curtain.

More often than not, they are often designed to be noise cancelling, heat insulating, or fully light blocking, among other things. If for example, you’re planning your living room to also be a fully functional home entertainment centre, 100% blackout - lined curtains would be your best bet.

Lined curtains offer better privacy due to the extra thickness of the fabric. They often have extended lifetime compared to unlined curtains due solely to the lining preventing the fabric from fading.

Unlined curtains, on the other hand, have their own advantages.

They are both lighter and airier making them perfect for rooms that have either smaller or fewer windows and a tendency to remain dark.

They allow natural sunlight to fill the chosen area while still providing privacy to the homeowner. This has the added benefit of reducing the potential need for electrical light and thus ultimately reducing one’s electric bill.

Another perk is that unlined curtains cost less than lined curtains on average and so are a more affordable solution. The reduced amount of fabric used for unlined curtains also means that they attract less dust than lined curtains, which in turn creates fewer risks for those with allergies.

They are washing machine-friendly which is huge in itself. You will save both time and money avoiding dry cleaning.

Lastly, for those people who enjoy changing the appearance of the room frequently, unlined curtains are easier to hang or take down and store, and with their reduced costs, infinite combinations are possible.

Whether choosing lined or unlined curtains, the fact remains that curtains are the one element that pulls a room together. Both options have their pros and cons so homeowners must consider what purpose the curtains will be fulfilled before making their purchase.

I bought these appliances ready for a visit from overseas family which took a long time to happen because of COVID. Now they have returned home, I have no further use for them.
The Cuisinart ice cream maker has only been used twice with great success. It is very simple to use and makes ice cream, sorbet or frozen yoghurt in about 20 minutes. These were over $400 new . Now a fraction of the price: $40.
The Davis and Waddell electric fondue set comes complete with 8 forks and can be used for either fondue Bourguignonne (meat) or cheese fondue. Just fill, plug in and use with up to 8 people. Great fun ! Only been used twice from new and now only $ 60 !
We never got around using the mini waffle maker, so it is still brand new and has its box. $20
Appliances come with instructions/recipes.
If interested, please TEXT me on 0272484333

NB. Ice cream maker has been sold!

Look up at the stars tonight!

The Wairarapa has just received official international Dark Sky Reserve status meaning our night sky is among the best places in the world to view the never-ending star filled skies above.

We’re pretty lucky to have an official Dark Sky Reserve right on our doorstep and only an hour’s drive from Wellington.

Although we can all spot the Southern Cross and the Pot, there’s much more to see! Experts at local dark sky tours Milky Way Kiwi, Stonehenge Aotearoa and Under The Stars, can guide you through the sky with telescopes to help make sense of what’s up above.

Plus, you can still get star action during the day at the Wairarapa Space Science Centre in Carterton, perfect for the whole family.

With Wings Over Wairarapa in February and the Wairarapa Balloon Festival on it's way the sky's the limit!
