Natural Curtains: Luxury or Waste of Money?
08.10.2025
Why premium interiors often choose something other than linen.
It’s commonly believed that the more natural the fabric, the better — including for curtains. Linen, cotton, silk — sound luxurious, look elegant. But in reality, natural doesn’t always mean reliable or comfortable.
Today, designers and homeowners prefer mixed fabrics for custom curtains because interiors demand not only beauty, but precision, durability, and harmony with architecture. These requirements are met by modern textile solutions.
Why 100% Natural Fabric Isn’t Always the Best Choice
Linen and cotton curtain fabrics look good in photos but are tricky in life: they wrinkle, fade, shrink after washing, and lose shape under their own weight. They’re difficult to drape, and in humid environments, nearly impossible to maintain structure. In projects with high ceilings or panoramic windows, such fabrics may look elegant at first — but disappoint after a year.
What’s Popular in the Premium Segment
Premium curtain tailoring increasingly uses mixed fabrics with polyester or viscose. These collections are designed for texture, colorfastness, and stability in interiors.
Leading textile studios in Moscow — including KriJe — use such materials, crafting complex textile solutions for homes, residences, and apartments for over 18 years.
KriJe’s portfolio includes over 1,000 projects — each with textiles that complete the interior and serve as its final touch.
Synthetic ≠ Compromise
At KriJe, we design custom blinds and roller shades tailored to each layout and style. All systems are chosen for light control, texture, and installation type — using Screen, Blackout, and decorative collections.
When it comes to custom curtains, synthetic fabrics aren’t a downgrade — they’re technology.
Fiber blends provide: - color and shape stability - UV protection - smooth draping behavior - resistance to shrinking and fading - easy care (especially important for country houses or large-glazed projects)
When it comes to custom curtains, synthetic fabrics aren’t a downgrade — they’re technology.

Linen — Only as a Conscious Choice
Linen has its charm: matte finish, natural texture, cool touch. But 100% linen requires proper lining, treatment, and careful installation — otherwise, curtains sag, wrinkle, and lose form.
At KriJe, such fabrics are treated as a design challenge — transformed into architectural elements that are precise, controlled, and rhythmically aligned with the space.
Cornices as Part of the Solution
Textiles Work Only as a System
Custom curtain tailoring isn’t complete without proper hardware. Complex or expensive fabrics must function as part of a system. That’s why we offer not just textiles, but also ceiling, wall, concealed, and motorized cornices in Moscow and the Moscow region.
Cornice as Part of Composition
It’s not just support — it’s part of the composition. A custom cornice allows the curtain to move correctly, drape gracefully, and maintain form.
Premium Means Precision, Not Slogans
A premium interior isn’t about saying 'everything natural' — it’s about a system of precise solutions, where every detail matters: from lining thickness to mounting type. That’s why designers increasingly choose custom textiles combining aesthetics, precision, and technology.
