sheer curtains

Light-filtering window fabric

Sheer curtains are lightweight, translucent window coverings that allow light to filter through while providing some privacy.

Made from thin fabrics like voile or chiffon, they soften incoming light and obscure the view from outside without blocking it entirely: She hung sheer curtains in the bedroom to diffuse the afternoon sun.
