The view from both sides
Hold the sample against your window and inspect it from outside where practical. Daytime screening depends on the difference between indoor and outdoor light.
A separate evening layer
When your lamps are on, a sheer alone may reveal the room. Pair it with a dimout or blackout night curtain on a compatible double track.
Pattern and folds
A small woven motif reads differently once gathered. Ask to see the sample folded at the proposed fullness.
How we would style it: Fine ivory textures suit Japandi and quiet contemporary rooms; a patterned sheer gives plain walls more character.
