Les tentures peuvent être faites en tout genre de tissu, mais on utilise en général un tissu épais. On peut aussi les doubler. Leur haut est habituellement plissé. Elles peuvent servir à décorer, à assombrir, à assurer l'intimité et à isoler contre le froid. Les tentures qui se referment couvrent toute la fenêtre, les autres n'en couvrent qu'une partie.
