The Spring Edit: Fresh Curtain Fabrics for a New Season

Spring is the perfect time to give your home a little refresh. As the days grow longer and natural light fills our spaces, the new season inspires fresh colours, beautiful textures and a lighter, more relaxed way of living.

You don't need a complete makeover to make a difference. Sometimes, updating your curtains is all it takes to transform the look and feel of a room. To help you welcome the new season, we've curated The Spring Edit: five curtain fabrics selected for their effortless style, fresh colour palettes and timeless appeal.

The Spring Edit at a Glance

What's Trending: Fresh Fabrics, Natural Textures and a Touch of Colour

This season is all about spaces that feel relaxed, inviting and connected to nature. Think soft linen-look textures, subtle stripes, organic shapes and colours inspired by the outdoors.

Sheer curtains are a beautiful way to embrace this look, filtering natural light while adding softness and movement. Textured sheers and subtle patterns can become a design feature in their own right. For more colour, botanical prints and muted greens bring the outdoors in, while warm neutrals create a timeless foundation that works all year round.

1. Laredo – Relaxed Stripes and Natural Texture

Studio Collection | Featured Colour: Linen

Best for: Relaxed, coastal-inspired or modern living rooms that want subtle pattern without overwhelming the space.

Laredo is a textured striped sheer with a soft, organic appearance. Rather than a plain sheer, its gentle stripes become part of the room's design, adding depth and visual interest while still letting natural light filter through. Its neutral palette makes it wonderfully versatile.

• 100% polyester
• 300cm continuous width
• Ideal for living rooms and lounges

Style it on its own for a light, breezy feel, or layer it with blockout or thermal curtains for added privacy and comfort on cooler spring evenings.

Our styling tip: Pair Laredo in Linen with warm timber furniture, soft cream upholstery and natural woven accessories for a relaxed, inviting space.

2. Kalina – Bring the Beauty of Nature Indoors

Designers Collection | Featured Colours: Coral, Palm and Husk

Best for: A statement sheer for living rooms and lounges, and anyone wanting pattern that feels calm rather than bold.

Kalina features an oversized leafy floral design inspired by the organic shapes and gentle colours of nature. Its painterly, almost hand-drawn pattern creates a sense of movement, while the soft, understated palette keeps the look calm and sophisticated. It's a more relaxed approach to pattern than traditional bold florals.

• 85% polyester / 15% linen blend
• Weighted hem for an elegant drape
• Part of our SunSmart fabric selection, a considered option for sun-exposed spaces

Let it become the feature of the room, or pair it with a separate plain curtain layer for additional privacy and light control.

Our styling tip: Let Kalina's botanical print take centre stage. Pair it with simple furnishings, natural timber and accents of soft green or warm earthy tones for a calm, nature-inspired interior.

3. Simona – Subtle Stripes, Timeless Style

Designers Collection | Featured Colours: Sage, Ciel, Noisette, Crème, Sable and Ecru

Best for: Relaxed, modern living and dining spaces, and introducing a little spring colour without overwhelming your décor.

Simona proves simple doesn't have to mean plain. A delicate vertical stripe and soft textured finish add just the right amount of depth, while its linen-rich blend gives an organic, tactile appearance and a beautifully fluid drape.

We're loving its nature-inspired palette, from the calming green of Sage and soft blue of Ciel to warm neutrals such as Crème and Ecru.

• 51% linen / 49% polyester
• 305cm width with weighted hem
• SunSmart classified

It works beautifully as part of a layered window treatment. Pair it with a complementary coloured curtain for a subtle pop of colour, or keep things neutral and let the textured sheer take centre stage.

Our styling tip: Choose Simona in Sage or Ciel to introduce a gentle touch of colour, then complement it with light timber furniture, warm whites and natural accessories.

4. Mirezo – Effortless Neutrals with Beautiful Texture

Designers Collection | Featured Colours: Ivory, Shell and Fawn

Best for: Flowing, full-length curtains in living rooms, lounges and bedrooms, across contemporary, coastal and Hamptons-inspired homes.

Mirezo celebrates understated design. Its relaxed linen-blend appearance and subtle tonal variation are lifted by delicate strands of white woven throughout, adding texture and dimension that make it anything but an ordinary plain curtain.

• 58% recycled polyester / 30% polyester / 12% linen
• OEKO-TEX certified
• Soft texture that adds warmth without feeling heavy

For a more defined look, add a suitable curtain lining. It gives the fabric more body and helps it hang beautifully, while adding privacy, insulation and protection from sunlight. With brighter days ahead, lining also helps reduce UV exposure to the face fabric, supporting its appearance over time. Learn more about Mirezo's recycled content in our guide to eco-friendly curtain fabrics.

Our styling tip: Pair Mirezo in Ivory or Shell with warm whites, natural timber and textured cushions for a beautifully balanced interior that feels fresh all year round.

5. Verdant – Soft, Natural and Effortlessly Elegant

Bespoke Collection | Featured Colours: Flax, Olive and Oyster

Best for: Minimalist living and dining rooms, and customers prioritising recycled content and easy care.

Verdant is a luxurious textured sheer with a soft, natural appearance and fluid drape. Its subtle texture adds interest without bold patterns, and its generous width allows flowing curtains that make a statement through texture and movement rather than colour alone.

• 100% recycled polyester
• 317cm width
• Inherently fire retardant and washable at 60°C
• OEKO-TEX and ISO 14001 credentials

For greater privacy or room darkening, pair Verdant with a separate blockout curtain on a double track, enjoying soft natural light by day and extra coverage when needed.

Our styling tip: Combine Verdant in Flax or Oyster with warm wood tones, softly textured furnishings and touches of greenery for a calm, contemporary space.

Simple Ways to Refresh Your Home with Curtains This Spring

Make the Most of Natural Light

Sheer curtains suit living rooms, dining areas and any space where you want an open, airy feel. They gently filter sunlight and soften glare. Textured sheers like Laredo and Simona add subtle interest without compromising that light, relaxed feel.

Introduce Colour Inspired by Nature

Think calming sage greens, muted blues, soft botanical tones and warm earthy neutrals. Whether you're drawn to a statement floral like Kalina or the understated colours of Simona, a little colour brings new life to a space. Prefer neutrals? Mirezo and Verdant offer texture and warmth without bold patterns.

Create Interest Through Texture

Texture can make as much impact as colour. Linen-look fabrics, delicate stripes and softly woven sheers add depth and character. Combine them with natural materials such as timber, rattan, cotton and linen furnishings.

Layer Your Curtains for Comfort and Style

New Zealand's changeable spring weather means comfort matters too. Layering sheers with blockout or thermal curtains gives you softly filtered light by day, plus privacy, light control and insulation when needed: a versatile solution that works through every season.
