Can I Use Saint and Poet’s Upholstery Fabric for Curtains and Blinds?
Yes—Our Fabrics Are Designed for Both.
If you’ve fallen in love with one of our prints and you’re wondering whether it can be used for curtains or blinds—the answer is yes. At Saint and Poet, every fabric is crafted on a versatile linen-blend basecloth that’s suitable for both upholstery and soft furnishings, including drapes, blinds, and window treatments.
We believe great design shouldn’t be limited to one use—and that your favourite fabric should move freely across a space, whether it’s on a chair, a headboard, or a set of curtains catching the morning light.

Why Upholstery Fabric Works for Curtains and Blinds
While many people assume curtain fabric must be lightweight and flowy, the truth is that structured fabrics like ours can make exceptionally elegant curtains and blinds—especially when:
• You want a more tailored look
• You’re covering large windows and want good hang and weight
• You’re using bold prints that need structure to show well
All Saint and Poet fabrics have a natural drape while retaining the substance needed for furniture use, making them ideal for:
• Roman blinds
• Wave or pencil pleat curtains
• Statement drapery panels
• Coordinated schemes using the same fabric across furniture and windows

How to Make It Work
If you’re planning to use our fabric for curtains or blinds:
• We recommend a curtain lining or blackout lining for improved drape and light control
• Work with a curtain maker familiar with heavier-weight fabrics
• Order a sample to see how it behaves when hung or pleated
Explore our Multicoloured Upholstery Fabric Collection to see examples of how our structured prints can bring boldness and rhythm to window treatments.
