1. Fabric Matters

High-quality curtains start with premium materials. Look for:

• Natural fibers like linen, cotton, or silk

• Tightly woven synthetic blends (for durability)

• A substantial weight or feel (thin and flimsy = lower quality)

2. Stitching and Finishing

Examine the seams and hems:

• Double stitching and even thread lines = good craftsmanship

• No loose threads or frayed edges

• Bottom hems should be weighted to help curtains hang evenly

3. Lining and Backing

Lined curtains offer more benefits:

• Better light control and insulation

• Less fading over time

• Blackout or thermal linings are signs of added value

4. Hardware Compatibility

High-quality curtains will often feature:

• Reinforced grommets or sewn-in pleats

• Rod pockets that don’t stretch or sag

• Compatibility with a variety of hanging systems

5. Touch and Drape

Try the “drape test”:

• Hold the curtain up and let it fall naturally

• Does it create smooth, even folds?

• A good curtain will have a soft yet structured drape
