It’s time to throw some shade on curtains made with environmentally destructive materials and choose organic, sustainable curtains for a healthier home and planet.
Window dressings are an important part of sustainable interior design, and we shouldn’t turn a blind eye to their impact. Especially since drapes made from plastic can contain toxic chemicals, like PVC phthalates and VOCs, which affect the indoor air quality in our homes—hence why non-toxic curtains are so important.
Fortunately, you can help draw the curtains on unsustainable materials and unethical manufacturing practices by supporting these organic curtain brands.
Beyond non-toxic materials, we have developed a new Brand Rating System that we’ll be rolling out over the next few months to update lists like this. It features 22 total criteria such as sourcing, manufacturing ethics, and general green practices (like plastic-free packaging). For more on how we evaluate brands, see our rating approach here.
We independently research all featured brands and we ask them to confirm their claims. In many cases we personally review recommended products. This post contains affiliate links which means we may earn a commission if you buy something. Learn more here.

Everything is sewn in-house by twenty seamstresses who receive fair wages. As an inclusive employer, they also have individuals with disabilities on their team. MagicLinen uses cornstarch and PBAT product packaging, which is certified home compostable and orders ship in FSC-certified boxes.
Available in colors like Moss Yellow, Sage, Matcha Green, Woodrose, and Latte, these earthy, sustainable curtains are delightfully understated and sure to add a pop of classy elegance to any room. Choose between tie-top, tab-top, rod pocket, pencil pleat, and noren designs. They also offer waterproof shower curtains that feature a button-on waterproof polyester layer.
so linen!
Price Range: $51–$174
So linen! is a small, independent Polish brand creating made-to-order linen designs for every room of the house—bedding, towels, bath mats, tablecloths, dishtowels, children’s canopies, and more.
Products are sewn by valued seamstresses in Warsaw (including the brand’s own studio in the Żoliborz district). The OEKO-TEX-certified linen is grown in France and Belgium, and they work with local suppliers for shipping boxes, labels, and printing.
You’ll find eco curtains in a variety of colors, styles (tab-top, tie-top, noren, rod pocket, pencil pleat, and French pleat) and in heavyweight (280 g/m2) or mediumweight (160 g/2) linen fabric. They also offer curtain holdbacks and belts made of 100% linen and orders ship plastic-free using tissue paper and cardboard boxes.
Prolinen
Price Range: $28–$183
Prolinen founder Caterina fondly recalls childhood moments spent at her grandmother’s, surrounded by fields of flax and its beautiful blue flowers. Her fascination with the traditional fabric led her to start the Polish Etsy shop which offers 100% linen bedding, blankets, clothes, curtains, and accessories.
The brand uses organic, OEKO-TEX-certified linen that’s stonewashed using an eco-friendly enzyme treatment followed by an intensive washing cycle. All products are handmade and shipped from Poland.
The organic linen curtains come in several styles (tie-up blinds, hidden-tab curtains, curtains with rings, tie-top curtains, and rod pocket curtains) and over forty beautiful colors. Add an extra touch of elegance with the Linen Window Panel with Lace. The unusual lace edging provides extra definition while complementing the airy fabric.
Len.Ok
Price Range: $32–$59
One of our favorite plus-size linen clothing brands, Belarus-based Len.Ok offers 100% linen clothing, bedding, towels, table linen, eco-friendly curtains, and more.
Grown by organic farmers in Europe, the brand’s linen is OEKO-Tex® certified and pre-shrunk. Everything is sewn in Belarus and they ship worldwide.
From Night Blue to Wet Sand, they offer an earthy palette of 28 colors and curtains are available in a variety of heading styles (tab-top, tie top, and rod pocket). For a rustic, boho-styled kitchen check out their rod pocket curtains, which feature a ruffle header and a valance added to the bottom of the curtain panel.
Kingdom of Comfort

Their linen is stonewashed (using stones and high temperatures, not chemicals), and only earth-safe, non-toxic dyes are used. Everything is lovingly handmade in Belarus, which is also where it ships from—using Etsy’s carbon offset shipping, of course.
Len.Ok’s collection of organic drapes includes panels, cafe, ruffled, tie-top, and tab top options. There are over thirty colors to choose from, mainly earthy hues but with a few brights (Bright Lavender, Turquoise, and Golden Orange) if you’re looking to add a pop of color to your interior. Check out the super cute cafe-style curtains, perfect for dressing small windows or even campervans.
ichcha
Price Range: $48–$80
Founded by three sisters, the New York-based brand ichcha (a Sanskrit word meaning “wish”) aims to support traditional craftsmanship in India. They offer a collection of stunning block printed clothes, accessories, and home textiles.
The sisters travel to India at least once a year to work closely with the artisan families who bring their designs to life. Ichcha partners with local NGOs to support artisan communities with health and education programs, and 100% of the profits from their “ichcha for artisan” collection goes back to the artisans who created the products.
From the vibrant Shanti Red Curtain Panel to the calming green hues of the Meadow Curtain Panel, the brand’s block printed ethical curtains are some of the most stunning we’ve seen. The beautiful designs are block printed by hand onto lightweight, chemical-free cotton fabric, which is hand-dyed using natural sustainable dyes.
Organic Habitat
Price Range: $39–$190
Organic Habitat is a US-based brand founded by passionate artisans Palak and Renisha. They specialize in handmade curtains in a huge selection of different colors and styles.
Their sustainable curtain offerings include hemp, linen, and organic cotton (GOTS-certified) curtains. You’ll also find a smaller selection of synthetic velvet and raw silk curtains, which we recommend avoiding.
If you’re looking for organic blackout curtains, you’re in luck. Their Organic Linen Blackout Curtains feature GOTS-certified organic linen and an OEKO-TEX-certified polycotton blackout liner. While virgin polyester isn’t on our sustainable fabric list, the OEKO-TEX certification at least means you can sleep easy knowing these are non-toxic blackout curtains.
