There is no such thing as nice net curtains. The end.

Have you thought about voile panels?

Why do you need net curtains? Is there any way you could just do away with them altogether?There is a reason you don't see them in interior mags.

What about shutters? I love wooden shutters.

Have a look on Pinterest, you might find inspiration there.

Voile and curtain

Voile panels + curtains. You'll need a double curtain pole.

We have voiles and curtains here. Our windows are massive and cars come towards the house off of the road so have no choice unfortunately. They're much nicer than net curtains though.

I've seen lovely ones in France - you can get vintage options on Etsy if that suits your decor, eg.

We don't have nets. It shocks the elderly rellies, but we're away from the road and elevated, so you can't see in too clearly. When we were bang on the pavement, literally, I frosted the bottom half of the sash windows (for privacy)

Hi Elizabeth

I would suggest voile panels fixed on a cafe rod inside the recess of your window - acts the same as net curtains but much more modern and you can get many different colours and patterns etc. Also with the cafe rod there is no need for a double pole and it appears minimal and not chunky inside the window space.

If you need any further advise do let me know as I am a curtain and blind fitter so could help with fitting/supplying cafe rods if required.

Cheers
