The Benefits of Linen
Linen is one of the most versatile of fabrics available and this makes it such a favourite amongst
homeowners. Linen curtains are light and airy, making them easy to install when compared to bulky cotton or woollen curtains. Linen curtains don’t wrinkle as much as silk, silk-blend and cotton-blend fabrics as well, making maintenance absolutely trouble-free.
Linen as a material is aesthetically stunning. It has a wonderful fall and finishes, making your curtains look elegant and stylish. Brilliant in texture and tone, these linen curtains from Linenshed are the perfect choice for your home and office alike.
Additionally, linen curtains provide a lot of benefits to the home. These blackout bedroom curtains perform two functions – they provide thermal insulation that can help keep the heat inside your home during long winter months and they will help you save on the air conditioning during the hottest days of summer. This way, you only need to invest in one set of fabric, as opposed to two.
Linen curtains are favoured because of their high quality and durability. While cotton, woolen and Georgette curtains may cost significantly lesser than linen, however, they aren’t as sturdy and long lasting. You may need to pay a higher price today, but once you make this investment, you will have gorgeous blackout bedroom curtains that will last you for years to come.
A fact about linen that most people don’t know is that it has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties.
Linen is a material that is used in surgical sutures as it allows injuries to heal without causing infections or bacterial growth. Using linen fabrics in your house will prevent microbes and mould from growing on them. This will ensure greater health and safety for you and your loved ones. Additionally, linen doesn’t get soiled as easily as other fabrics and is relatively safe from moulds and microbes.
This makes washing and ironing easy. Your linen drapes won’t need as much cleaning as your cotton ones do.
Choosing linen blackout drapes will be the best decision you make when sprucing up your bedding. The linen blackout curtains at Linenshed are made with a protective layer of blackout lining and a polyester panel. Linen curtains that don’t have a blackout lining are at a risk of fading due to direct exposure to sunlight. By using blackout lining, you are preventing your linen curtains from losing colour. The unique polyester fabric used makes your blackout curtains one of the best linen fabrics available.

*Please note: Custom size Linen curtains cannot be returned.
Please note: Curtains ordered with metal grommets are not eligible for a return or exchange.
*We don't accept orders for curtains below 100 cm width.
Depending on the width of your rod:
- When you have measured the width of your rod, multiply by a minimum of 1.5 or by 2 to have a nice S fold effect with your curtain.
- You can choose to have two curtains or just one depending on the distance you have planned on the side of your windows.
- For example, for a window of 2 meters wide, purchase 2 panels of 1.50 m wide or 2 m wide or 1 single panel 4 m wide.
Depending on the height of your window:
- Confirm the length of your curtains by measuring the size from the top of your rod to the floor, or from the top of your rod to the edge of your window or radiator.
- If you opt for curtains with a blackout lining, it is important that your curtain extends generously in height and width from your window frame.
- We draw your attention to the fact that we place the blackout lining 5 cm shorter than the linen panel to prevent it from exceeding its weight, twice as much as linen.
- The blackout lining is sewn on the top and on both sides of the curtain to allow the fluidity of the linen panel to flow freely.
- If you choose to fix your curtains with metal eyelets, allow 3 cm more in height, corresponding to the distance between the inside of the eyelet (4 cm in diameter) and the upper edge of the curtains.
Caring for linen items is rather simple and straightforward. Here are some basic rules you may follow to make the most of your linen articles.
If you wash by hand:
- Take a small bucket or use a sink with lukewarm water and add a teaspoon of mild detergent.
- Immerse the linen item into your container and let it soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir gently the item around. Do not twist the fabric because it may stretch the fabric.
- Empty the soapy water and rinse a couple of times until all the soap residue is totally gone. Hang your item to dry.
If you machine wash your linen:
- Avoid mixing white, dark and coloured items. It is advised to turn your linen inside out and wash separately from other fabrics. Do not overload the machine.
- To be energy efficient and to preserve the life span of your linen, wash it in lukewarm water only. Excessive temperature may cause a shrinkage of over 5%, which could be a serious issue for items such as bed skirts or curtains.
- Use only mild detergent formulated for delicate fabrics.
- Do not use bleach.
- Never pour detergent directly on dry linen as that may stain the fabric. Always dilute the detergent before putting it into your machine.
- Avoid electric dryers or use at a low or medium setting to avoid damaging the linen fabric and getting excessive shrinkage.
- If you can hang dry your linen, the wind and the sun will do a better job.

Customer Reviews
Beautiful curtains, very well made thank you
Both excellent, after a couple of days all creasses gone, will get some more, hope they’ll bring more vibrant colours.
RIBA DESIGNS
These were as described, great blackouts & hangs wonderfully. Where less is best, simply beautiful.
Beautiful fabric, beautifully made curtains. Very effective. ‘Nude’ is particularly lovely but also love our ‘French blue’. Wouldn’t normally have spent this much on curtains, but very very happy I did.
Good quality and options of colours and fastenings. Exactly what we were looking for!
This is my 3rd purchase from Linenshed. The quality of the linen is much higher than any of their competitors.
The blackout curtains don’t lose any of that beautiful linen flow due to the lining. Perfect way to finish my lounge
Very pleased with the quality and look of these curtains. We’ve ordered three sets of curtains so far. The stone grey colour is perfect for us. We’ve got a sample book of your other colours. It’d be great if you could add to the range with some other shades.
Stunning curtains, beautifully made. I can’t wait to buy more from this company, highly recommend.
Lovely curtains, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
After spending ages trawling through websites looking at fabrics and curtain lengths it was a joy to find Linenshed with a range of linen blackout curtains in easy-to-understand window sizes and a huge range of colours. They arrived quickly, are great quality and hang beautifully. Brilliant!
