When it comes to transforming or changing your home decor, curtains are extremely helpful. Being rather inexpensive, they allow us at the same time to make major modifications in a room. Only by picking a new color or a new design for your window treatments you can create a new charming atmosphere that will transform your house into a cozy home.

Nowadays the field of interior design offers us a wide variety of solutions. Different styles and color palettes, different concepts and statements – from the traditional to the minimalistic ones, from the exotic luxury to the modern simplicity.

When it comes to selecting new curtains, you can choose from many different types: heavy drapes and sheer curtains, soft textures and thick materials, traditional and modern colors, not to mention beaded and string curtains!

Until recently, string curtains were used mostly in public places – hotels, restaurants and bars – wherever the owners intended to create a unique, somehow exquisite atmosphere. During the last years, however, this type of curtains started to appear in private homes.

Do you know why? String curtains are extremely flexible. They are not only a stylish accessory, but also a practical light-blocking and space dividing solution.

The most obvious use for this type of curtains is installing them at your windows. Unlike thick heavy drapes which can fully darken your room, string curtains will gently block the blinding sun rays without stopping the daylight from entering your home. Such a ‘filtered’ light will create a special glowing aura inside the house.

You can also install string curtains in an empty doorway. It’s a good way of delimiting the kitchen from the dining room, for example – you separate the rooms without stopping the free air circulation.

String curtains are a handy solution when it comes to dividing a room. if you have a big kitchen and no dining room, install some string curtains with tie-backs – this way, with just two simple movements, you can delimit the cooking area from the eating area.

Do you have an empty wall and no money for an original Picasso? Instead of decorating it with cheap kitsch paintings, be original and show your sense of fashion: by combining two or three (or even more) colors of string curtains, you can create all by yourself an inspired and unique wall decoration. Your living room will never look the same again!

If you got tired of your bedroom’s traditional image, don’t be afraid to improvise and express your personality! Surround your bed with string curtains and allow yourself to enjoy the atmosphere of ‘A Thousand and One Nights’!

Do you have some unaesthetic shelves that you usually use as a storage facility? It’s time to improve the situation! Every corner of your home deserves to look nice! If you can’t afford a new fashionable closet, hide the shelves with string curtains and enjoy the effect!

Our modern lifestyle is changing as instants pass by. New technologies are not the only result of this continual development. New interior and exterior designs for our homes appear every day. By using string curtains you can create a modern, unique, charming and comfortable home decoration!
