Daytime Curtains: Sheer Fabric, Not Cloth

A white sheer curtain by the window during the day. Fine cotton or linen sheer fabric hangs from a ceiling track, filtering direct sunlight into soft, diffused light, with tree shadows swaying on the sheer; the sheer curtain is usually pulled back to the sides of the window, only drawn during the hottest hours. Avoid: using heavy blackout curtains or blinds, having the sheer curtain be beige or gray instead of white, installing the track inside the window frame so it still blocks the glass when pulled back, having the sheer curtain length shorter than the floor.

窗邊的一道白紗。細密的棉紗或亞麻紗從天花的軌道垂下,把直射的陽光篩成柔和的漫射,窗外的樹影在紗上晃動;紗簾平常收在窗的兩側不擋開口,只在最熱的時段拉上。避免:使用厚重的遮光簾或百葉、紗簾的顏色是米黃或灰色而非白、軌道裝在窗框內讓收起時仍擋住玻璃、紗簾的長度短於地面。
