Light filtering curtains are the best window treatments for anyone who loves romantic style. A sheer curtain streams soft light into your home, making the room feel more inviting. And because our curtains aren’t completely sheer, they do a great job of letting natural light filter through the window while maintaining a degree of privacy at the same time.
Each one of our curtain panels is hand block printed, and the designs on our romantic curtains found inspiration in tales and symbols of love. We share some of the tales and motifs behind our curtain patterns and the stylish ways our customers have decorated with them. Ready to make every day feel like Valentine’s Day?
Spark magic with a fairy-tale inspired white sheer curtain
Our first light filtering curtain panel featuring a Moroccan lattice trellis pattern takes inspiration from the architecture of the hotel palace Royal Mansour. In the heart of Marrakech, you’ll find a palace known for being one of the most romantic hotels in the world. The Royal Mansour hosts luxury Moroccan weddings, and it’s also a popular destination for romantic vacations. However, this grand palace is more than a weekend romantic sanctuary: this is a piece of Moroccan history.
Commissioned by King Mohammed VI, the hotel is a marriage of traditional craftsmanship and modern luxury. Every detail is based on original ideas, handcrafted by thousands of traditional artisans into the palace’s arches and walls. We found the white circular lattice found on the white arches and wall of the hotel’s spa area particularly inspiring.
When designing the curtain, we also drew inspiration from the collection of Arabic tales known as One Thousand and One Nights.. We imagined Scheherazade, the main character of the tale, walking through a palace similar to Royal Mansour.

While you could certainly use this curtain in a room filled with Moroccan decor, you can also use our Royal Mansour pattern to soften a space and infuse a sense of romantic, charming style. One of our customers used the 63″ panels in her laundry, creating a sweet and romantic farmhouse feeling.
Create a nostalgic cottage hideout with timeless white curtains
The main star of our Ivy Lace collection of country cottage curtains is none other than the ivy plant. The curtain’s vintage look creates a sense of nostalgia. Romantics adore the symbolism behind this timeless plant!
The ivy plant symbolizes a love that never ceases. If we break it down, ivy’s evergreen nature signals eternity and immortality while its wall-climbing abilities and attachment represent faithfulness. From season to season, botanical prints like ivy stay in vogue, confirming its timeless appeal.
We’ve chosen the design that features the scrolling wines on sheer white cotton because it reminds us of the pearls, luxury gowns, and polished silver. With its classic and elegant look, it makes us feel nostalgic for the bygone era.

You can use Ivy Lace in a room filled with luxury or in a casual farmhouse space, but it’s just so easy to use these romantic light filtering curtains in a cottage-inspired room! Ivy Lacy works beautifully in rooms that feature or nod to natural elements such as wooden furniture and live plants. For example, Cathy used our Ivy Lace shower curtain and beaded valance to bring a sense of sweetness and romance in the bath. It fit in seamlessly with her garden-inspired wallpaper, soft colors, and timeless trim.
Turn any day into your big day with this light filtering curtain
Is there anything more romantic than a wedding? We think not! Hence, this day of committment to love inspired Bridal Veil, our light filtering curtain with white and gold. The curtain also features heart-shaped patterns with flowers inside of them.
Wedding inspiration behind a this curtain began with the veil common for Indian weddings—a sheer veil with golden details. With the see-through veil covering her face, the bride can be recognized right away. Flowers surrounded with hearts on the milky white curtains are another reminder of a wedding day. Besides the veil, the bridal bouquet is another iconic part of a bride’s outfit.

Start anew with floral curtains that symbolize deep love
Our Tulip Mist curtains are a breath of fresh air in any room. Gauzy, ethereal, and light, they’re filled with a near-mythical like airiness suited for the home of a Greek goddess (or anyone aspiring to those heights!).
The tulip flower symbolizes fresh starts and deep, perfect love. After all, these are among the first flowers to emerge from the soil after a long, grey winter. Taking another look at the tulip, we turn to the Persian folktale about the love between Farhad and Shirin. Here, tulips symbolize perfect love that’s unconditional, passionate, and deep. In the story, a red tulip grows at the place where two lovers die together because of the love that couldn’t be. (Isn’t that the stuff!?)
