Step 2: Choose your curtain fabric and opening preferences

When you start an interior design project, especially when choosing curtains, there are several key points to keep in mind: the curtain style, the nature of the fabric, the dimensions, and the fitting and finish. 

Opaque Fabrics – velvet, silk, cotton, microfiber 

Perfect for filtering out light and privacy at night, you should always choose an opaque design for bedrooms. Heavier fabrics like velvet provide extra insulation for the room – from either heat or cold. Lighter fabrics like cotton or microfiber are easy to clean and maintain. If you want sheer curtains in a bedroom, consider two layers of draperies.  

Light-filtering fabrics – voile, chiffon, lace, organza

Designed mainly for living spaces, voile curtains are perfect for seeing without being seen. This fabric is light and either sheer or light filtering to provide privacy, but still lets in some light. Plain or patterned, made of a wide variety of fabrics and available in almost any color, there's something for everybody. 

Choose Your Drapery Opening Preference 

Motorized curtains are installed on a rail that contains a motor. For automated curtains, you choose which way they open: left, right or in the middle, and Somfy motors take it from there. If you choose an automatic curtain opener that opens to the right, the fabric gathers on the right side of the window. The same goes for the left. If you opt for a central opening, then the two curtains open to either side of the window. Make sure you have plenty of space on one or both sides of your window for the light to come in when the drapes are open. 

Your Somfy Expert dealer will guide you in choosing fabrics that are a great fit for your preferences and your style. They will also ensure that your choices can be motorized using Somfy drapery tracks.  

Step 3: choose a control mode that suits your lifestyle

Once you have selected your fabric and your Expert Dealer has selected a motor, it’s time to choose your controls. Don’t worry! If you want to add different controls later, you can do so easily in our online store or by reaching back out to your dealer.
