• When making a decision on a choice of fabric for
  your curtains, it helps to be aware of the
  different choices available to you and what
  fabric suits what style.
• While a professional interior decorator can help
  make the choice for you, you can always go
  shopping for fabrics yourself. The following
  materials are some of the most common used in
  making curtains.

Materials Used in Making Curtains

• Cambric - Made out of linen or cotton, cambric
  is a fabric which is woven tightly and has a
  glossy and stiff appearance on one side. This
  makes it a perfect fabric for more decorative
  rooms and should not be hung from cheap or
  discount curtain rods .
• Chintz - A cotton fabric, chintz is usually used
  for drapery due to its glazed finish.
• Damask -Damask usually contains raised designs
  and should be used with layers of other thinner
  materials which might mean installing triple
  curtain rods.

• Velvet - Usually used in more pre 20th century
  style interiors, velvet is made from cotton,
  rayon and polyester and should be used in formal
  dining or sitting rooms.
• Gingham - Gingham can be washed regularly and is
  crisp like Ironed linen and is one of the most
  practical fabrics to use.
• Brocade - Used for drapes, Brocade is made from
  cotton, wool or silk and is a pretty heavy
  fabric. Usually found with raised floral and
  natural image designs.
• With this basic knowledge of fabrics, you should
  be able to narrow down your choice based on the
  look you are trying to achieve and the budget you
  are working with.
