When it comes to dressing your windows, curtains are far more than just an aesthetic choice — they influence everything from light control to insulation and privacy. At DGR Homes by Devico, we understand that the right curtain fabric can elevate a space from ordinary to extraordinary. Among the most commonly debated choices are sheer curtains vs. blackout curtains — each offering unique benefits depending on the room and lifestyle.

Sheer Curtains: Light, Airy, and Elegant

Sheers are lightweight, translucent fabrics that filter natural light while adding a soft, romantic touch to your interiors. Popular in living rooms, dining areas, and lounge spaces, sheer curtains create a sense of openness while still offering mild privacy during the daytime.

Benefits of Sheer Curtains:

  • Diffuses harsh sunlight without darkening the room
  • Enhances spatial openness, especially in smaller spaces
  • Pairs beautifully with heavy drapes for a layered look
  • Available in a range of textures, colors, and embroidery


DGR’s Offering: Our sheer collections include voiles, organzas, and embroidered nets, crafted to suit both modern and ethnic interiors across India.


Blackout Curtains: Total Privacy, Light Blocking & Comfort

Blackout curtains are engineered to block out 85–100% of light, making them ideal for bedrooms, media rooms, hotel suites, and nursery spaces. Traditionally, blackout fabrics achieved this effect by pasting a blackout lining to the back of the curtain fabric. But today, fabric innovation has taken a giant leap.


Introducing New-Age 100% Blackout Fabrics — No Lining Needed

Thanks to cutting-edge textile technology, new-generation blackout fabrics now deliver complete light blockage without the need for laminated or coated linings. These fabrics are woven in multiple dense layers using high-twist, high-opacity yarns, ensuring 100% blackout properties that are inherent to the weave itself.


Advantages of Lining-Free 100% Blackout Fabrics:

  • No chemical coating — safer for bedrooms and children
  • Softer fall and better drape compared to stiff laminated options
  • Easier to stitch and maintain — machine washable in many cases
  • Durable and wrinkle-resistant
  • Better aesthetic appeal from both sides of the fabric

DGR’s Collection: Our new blackout range features luxurious fabrics that offer full blackout in elegant textures, solid colours, jacquards, and even prints — without compromising on flexibility or softness.
