The Best Cafe Curtains for Every Style
Finish your windows with cafe curtains, bringing style and pattern to your home without losing indispensable natural light.
No longer delegated to the kitchen and bathroom, cafe curtains are a quick way to add style to your home without the cost of floor-sweeping draperies. The major benefit of cafe curtains (also called tiers) is they give you the best of both worlds — privacy and plenty of natural light. Typically between 24 and 36 inches in length, you hang the curtains midway up your windows.
The window treatment gets its name from cafes — shocking, I know. Those roadside stops and coffee shops might have you envisioning lots of plaids, frills and lace, but the tier curtains of today are much chicer. From modern florals and crisp whites to contemporary geometrics and classic stripes, you'll easily find a cafe curtain design you love.
Farmhouse + Striped
Ticking and striped curtains never go out of style, but certainly have a distinct farmhouse vibe. They feel as at home now as they did 100 years ago and add the just-right amount of pattern, especially above your apron sink. For a more country-inspired look, try a timeless plaid in black or gray.

Don't let visions of your grandmother's crochet-and-floral-filled home keep you away from the fresh blooms of today. Whether you're drawn to tone-on-tone blossoms, watercolor tulips, modern leaves or vintage sunflowers, floral curtains add a soft touch of nature to your home.

Goes-With-Every-Style White
Simple white curtains are the most versatile. Choose a tailored design for a minimalist or contemporary aesthetic, pleated for traditional spaces and ruffles and ruched for cottage rooms. Instead of darkening a room, white curtains are a fresh and bright addition to your space.
