Today I want to answer a frequently asked question.
Where did you get your cafe curtains and cafe curtain hardware?
I have several cafe curtains around the house and plan to add more. They’re an easy way to introduce texture, pattern, color, or personality into a room without a major project.
In the kitchen we have:
Gold curtain rod used in the kitchen
Gold curtain rings used in the kitchen
Gingham cafe curtains in the kitchen
We use a small curtain at the island to soften the look of an open stool niche. I swap this curtain seasonally — it’s an easy and inexpensive change that adds fresh interest. You can see examples below.

For summer we swapped in a lighter-weight curtain that still feels charming enough to keep year-round. It’s airier than the toile but equally pretty.
Striped cafe curtain used seasonally in the kitchen; I’ve shared more about this choice in a previous kitchen post.
A quick curtain solution in our Snug helped tidy the room before guests arrived. That panel has since been swapped for something new, but the linen option is excellent if you want a neutral, relaxed look.
