<h1>GUIDANCE ON CURTAIN LINING TYPE</h1>
Lining refers to the extra layer of fabric added to your curtains. If you want your curtains to last longer or look prettier, it's a good idea to add a lining.EasyLife offers four types of lining options. Further options are available upon request.
UNLINED
Ideal for Sheer & Functional Blackout Curtains
Generally, we don't recommend unlined options, but for sheer or functional blackout curtains (e.g. Gary, Pastel Collections), the unlined is your first choice.
Unlined is the material itself without anything added, providing limited light exclusion.

NOTES
Curtains are not lined by default. The four lining options we offer are made-to-order. Choose whichever you want to fit your custom order.
The finished lining length is about 1.25", a bit shorter than the drapery panel's standard length.
The linings are sewn on the 3 sides, on the panel's top, left, and right. If you have specific needs, please let us know.
Upon adding a lining on the back, the texture and shade of the curtain may turn a bit heavier and deeper.
Care: All lining-added curtains are recommended to dry clean first, otherwise use gent-cycle machine wash and one panel every time.
