These curtains were exactly what I wanted to filter the light in our master bedroom. I purchase the teal curtains for our sliding door and our window. Both the color and fabric go phenomenally with our 'beach' vibe room. They are light without being completely sheer and the bluish hue they give the room during the day is super cozy.  Even though they are light they help enormously to keep the room cooler during the hot South Florida afternoons.
