The three most important requirements for a man to survive are food, clothing and shelter. In the beginning, shelter just meant a roof above our heads but now shelter- the house, is given a lot of importance not only in the way it is architecture but also the way the interiors are made, the furniture, the placement of the furniture and needless to say, curtains (drapes). A curtain, before, was considered as just a kind of cloth that is measured to fit any window or door in order to block lights or water (shower curtain). Curtains even help in noise absorption, UV radiations deterioration and many more. Now, curtains come in a variety of materials, shapes, sizes and lovely designs. A curtain has become a factor that symbolizes the beauty and richness of a house and makes it look more like a home. Now days there are several varieties of curtains available due to popular demand. There are exclusive curtains for each room in the house. For example, cafe curtains are just for the kitchens. Each of these curtain types has its own unique name. For example portieres refer to the curtain that is hung in the doorway. The business of selling curtains has become highly commercialized now.

Another point to be noted here is that curtains have now become an essential thing not only in houses but also in movie theaters, stage plays, cafes, restaurants and many more places. As everyone wants the best and the most suitable curtains for their house or cafe or restaurant, it becomes extremely difficult to pick the best one among the various choices offered. This article will give a brief about Voiles, Jardinieres and Cafe Curtains. Voiles or net curtains and lace curtains are among the most beautiful types of curtains available. This type of curtain softens and diffuses light entering the window. It, therefore, makes the atmosphere very calming by giving a moderate light effect and avoids being an opaque block for the lights that shine in. It is best to use simplistic styles for a minimal space and if more luxurious, it is best to use sophisticated patterns. There are various varieties of Voiles and also at various price ranges. There are entirely lace embodied voiles, partially embroidered lace voiles, lace voiles with embroidery in the edges and many more. The embroideries are of various designs and patterns and are also available in a wide variety of colors. They suit the tone best when you choose the color that complements the color of your wall.

The word Jardinieres is spelt in a variety of ways such as Jardinares, Jardinieres etc. The purpose of a Jardiniere is extremely similar to that of Voiles or net curtains. These curtains are extremely attractive and they allow themselves to be shaped the way the customers want and this underlines the difference between Jardinieres and Voiles. They generally are available in four varieties of width and various drops are available to be chosen. There are also pre packaged and ready-to-hang varieties. Alterations can also be made to the existing ones. Cafe curtains were once usually hung in cafes, but they are now the most sought after ones for hanging in the kitchen. They are also used only to cover the lower part of the window thereby allowing privacy but they also help the light to seep in through the upper opening of the window, thus giving the room a warm glow. There a lot of colors, designs and varieties in Cafe Curtains and they come in net material too. They are best suited for all types of kitchens or interiors ranging from traditional to contemporary ones.
