Find the right sheer for every room

Not all sheers are the same. The fabric and heading you choose decide how a room feels: how much light comes through, how much privacy you keep and how the curtain falls. Here are the three sheer styles we make most, each custom-sewn to your windows.

We design, sew and install across Ballito, Shaka’s Rock, Salt Rock, Zimbali and the wider Dolphin Coast. Free in-home consultations, with fabric guidance from a qualified interior designer.

Why choose sheer curtains

Sheer curtains are loved for the way they filter light without blocking it. Here’s why they’re the first layer we specify in most coastal and contemporary homes.

Softens harsh light and glare

Coastal light is beautiful but harsh. Sheers diffuse it into a soft, even glow that keeps rooms bright while reducing glare, heat and UV fading on your furniture, artwork and flooring.

Daytime privacy with a view

During the day, sheer fabric lets you look out while making it harder to see in. You keep the view and the natural light without feeling exposed, ideal for homes close to neighbours or the beachfront.

Smart home ready

Add a quiet motorised track and open or close your sheers by remote, phone app or voice. Schedule them to welcome the sunrise and close as the sun goes down. See our motorised curtains.

Minimalist look that works with any décor

From crisp whites to soft earthy neutrals, sheers suit coastal, contemporary, classic and luxe interiors alike. Layer them with lined or blackout curtains on a double track for softness by day and privacy by night.

Sheer curtains we've made and hung

The Window Boutique difference

Led by a qualified interior designer. We don’t simply supply sheer curtains. We help you select the right fabric and fullness, specify every technical detail correctly for soft light and privacy, then custom-make and professionally install them.

01 | Expert consultation & planning

We assess your windows, the level of privacy and natural light you want, and your interior style, then recommend the most suitable sheer curtain solution.

02 | Precise specification & approval

Every detail is carefully specified (fabric, fullness, heading style, track or pole, and any layering with other treatments) so you approve a clear, accurate quotation before manufacturing begins.

03 | Custom made & professionally installed

Your sheer curtains are manufactured to the approved specification and professionally installed for soft, even folds and a refined finish across Ballito and the Dolphin Coast.

Questions, answered

What are sheer curtains?

Sheer curtains are lightweight, semi-transparent curtains made from voile, lace or linen-look fabrics. They filter sunlight into a soft, even glow, keep rooms bright and give you daytime privacy without losing your view.

Sheers are usually the first layer in a window treatment. On their own they soften light and dress the window. Layered with lined or blackout curtains on a double track, they give you softness through the day and privacy and darkness at night.

How much do sheer curtains cost in South Africa?

Our custom sheer curtains start from R1,500 per drop. Your final price depends on the fabric you choose, the width and drop of your windows, the heading style and whether you add a track, rod or motorisation.

Because every set is made to measure, we quote each project individually. Request a free quote and we’ll give you a clear, itemised price with no hidden costs.

Can sheer curtains be motorised?

Yes. We fit quiet motorised tracks that let you open and close your sheer curtains by remote, phone app or voice, and schedule them to open at sunrise and close at sunset.

Motorisation works beautifully on layered double-track systems too, so you can control the sheer and blackout layers independently. It’s especially useful for wide sliding doors, high windows and holiday homes.

What fabrics can I choose for sheer curtains?

You can choose from voiles, delicate lace, relaxed linen-looks and textured sheer weaves, in crisp whites, soft neutrals and earthy coastal tones. All our fabrics come from South Africa’s leading fabric houses, including Hertex, Stuart Graham and Home Fabrics.

For homes near the sea, we recommend UV- and moisture-resistant sheers that stand up to salt air, humidity and strong coastal light without yellowing or fading. We’ll bring samples to your consultation so you can see each fabric in your own light.

Do you install sheer curtains in Ballito and Johannesburg?

Yes. We measure, make and install sheer curtains across Ballito, Shaka’s Rock, Salt Rock, Zimbali and the wider Dolphin Coast, with free in-home consultations, and we install in Johannesburg too.

Beyond that, we courier custom sheer curtains nationwide across South Africa, with a step-by-step measuring guide and trusted installer referrals in most major towns and cities.

Why choose custom sheer curtains over net curtains?

Unlike old-fashioned net curtains, custom sheers are made to measure for your exact windows, hang in full, even folds and come in designer fabrics rather than mass-produced polyester.

The result is the same daytime privacy with a far more tailored, modern finish. And because sheers pair with a second lined or blackout layer, they form part of a complete window treatment rather than a stopgap.
