Swathing your windows in dreamy linen is the perfect way to transform any room into an oasis of calm. Just this week, I finally hung beautiful natural linen curtains by URBANARA in our living room and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome.
Finding the right curtains can be a tricky endeavor, and I’ve spent months going back-and-fourth on what exactly we needed to create a soothing and airy ambiance without getting too whimsical. Finally after weeks of searching, I discovered URBANARA’s beautiful Zelva Curtains in natural linen. The tone of the material is a stunning mixture between beige and gray, gently shifting throughout the day as the light changes.
These curtains are sold in a set of two panels, and are available in two lengths, 240cm and 320cm. The length of most ‘ready-made’ curtains typically maxes-out at 300cm, which has made it next to impossible to find something long enough to accommodate the height of our tall ceilings. So if you’ve also been on the hunt for extra-long curtains and aren’t ready to shell-out a hefty amount of euros on something that’s made-to-order, be sure to explore all of URBANARA’s many styles, they have a lovely selection online.
The Zelva Curtains are made in Lithuania from 100% natural linen. The weave is soft yet weighty, and the light transmits beautifully through the material. I’ve opted to hang these using metal rings since I prefer the wave-optic you get when installed this way. But it’s also possible to hang these curtains by simply slipping the rod through the pocket sewn on the top.
Another small but impactful update I made was to swap-out the white curtain rods for a black finish, creating one single line. I wanted to use the architectural detail of the metal rod to draw connections to other elements in the space, such as the black cord from which our Nurra pendent is suspended. Using these types of more functional details to tie together various objects and pieces in a room can help create a beautiful and refined sense of congruency, and will most certainly add an edge of sophistication. I still have it on my to-do-list to hand-sew each ring to the top of the curtain header, to create a more customized look. But that’s a project for a different week! For now, I’m going to relax and enjoy the beautiful softened light and calming atmosphere.
