Café curtains offer privacy without sacrificing natural light — a small, tailored treatment that softens a window and still lets the day in.

Four of our original patterns were made for exactly this: hung at the sink, the tub, the vanity. Each brings a distinct point of view to the window, and each was featured in the 2024 Southern Living Idea House on Johns Island.
