10 Easy Pieces: Colorful Lightweight Curtains

Recently, we’ve taken note of colorful curtains in their diaphanous form. Often utilized in floor-length, these sheers offer variable transparency while filtering light and dividing space. Here are our favorite options leaving heaviness behind while pairing sheer with color—both subtle and saturated.
