Linen has had a strong showing over the past several years. The relaxed, breathable material has been a go-to for covering sofas, crafting eco-friendly and long-lasting bedding, and making up oodles of curtains. But we’ve noticed another natural textile make in-roads, especially when it comes to the window. Wool might sound like a heavy addition to a light source, but they’re really no thicker than a poly-blend blackout curtain. Plus, they drape fabulously and there’s no chemical intervention needed for attributes like being fire retardant, wrinkle-resistant, and stain-repellent. Creative director and US editor of Cabana Kate Berry loves the panels from Nordic Knots, and recently, designer Beata Heuman put it well when referring to her own line of fabric: “You get an alluring depth of color that say a linen would never have.” Below, find a few of our favorite versions of wool curtains on the market.
Best Budget-Friendly Wool Curtains
Atacama Home
There’s a relaxed, Cali-cool vibe to Atacama Home’s curtains, which are made from undyed llama wool woven by artisans in Argentina. Each creamy white panel is custom down to the square foot, so there’s a lead time of 6 to 8 weeks and you need to order via email. Bear in mind they are a little high maintenance, so be prepared to dry-clean them if they’re in need of a refresh.
Etsy
In general, Etsy is an excellent resource for custom or small business-sourced soft goods like curtains, table linens, bedding, and throw pillows. Their selection of wool curtains is pretty extensive, which isn’t the case across the category—there is everything from simple panels to blackout options and even preppy plaids. The website can be hard to parse these days, with other products made from linen or velvet slipping into the mix from search, so be sure to read the fine print on the material.
Best Mid-Tier Wool Curtains
Twopages
Twopages is a favorite of Lone Fox’s Drew Scott for renters, and the window treatment brand makes a 100% wool curtain that softens up any room. It’s available in nine different colors with six different hanging header styles, and the width and length are customizable. Plus, you could add a lining or matching tieback if you please.
Curtarra
Custom curtain purveyor Curtarra makes a few wool blend styles, but it also has a 100% option, too. Choose from seven hues and even more header styles, and plug if your own optimal width and length. Curtarra’s wool panels are Oeko-Tex certified, and you can even add a motorized track if you pick a pleated version.
Best Luxury Wool Curtains
Nordic Knots
When Nordic Knots made the move to go beyond rugs, we couldn’t wait to see what parts of the home the Scandi brand would outfit next. Last year, they debuted window treatments in linen, velvet, and, of course, wool (which we decorated with a Good Design Award!). Available in either a regular or jacquard weave, each panel is really something to behold; the colors are probably the best we have seen on the market. Burnt red, rose, eau de nil are particularly elegant, but the cream you see in the feature image above is as versatile as it gets.
Zig Zag Zurich
We love this artist-driven brand for its blankets and other soft goods, so naturally its wool curtains belong in this list. Available in heavy, semi-transparent, and recycled, Zig Zag Zurich’s options are all blends. The heavy wool panels are particularly nice and made in Italy from Norwegian wool and linen. There is a kaleidoscope of colors available and you can customize width, length, and fullness.
