June 15th, 2010 |

If you think that it’s time to let go of the traditional solutions and opt for something new and original when it comes to your interior design, consider first of all changing your curtains. If you can’t afford new furnishings but you still don’t want to give up on having a comfortable modern home, don’t forget that curtains have the power of transforming the image of a room without ‘transforming’ your bank account! Curtains are the ‘clothes’ of your home! A new color or a new material will drastically modify the atmosphere and the aura of your house.

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.

Why is this happening? It’s very simple: string curtains are very adaptable. They can be used not only as a light-obstructing solution, but also as a beautiful decoration.

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.

Another original way of using string curtains is installing them in a doorway. This way you can separate two rooms without blocking the air circulation.

If you need to divide a room, let’s say, to create a sleeping area and a working area in your bedroom, it’s very simple! All you have to do is install string curtains equipped with tie-backs! This way, when you need more privacy or you want to concentrate on your work, you can transform your room with two easy movements!

If you have an empty wall and you can’t afford (yet) an original Van Gogh, don’t worry! Choose one or several colors of strings and create an unique curtain that you can use as a stylish wall decoration. Your family and friends will definitely appreciate the original approach!

Does your bedroom have a severe classical style? Do you want something more daring and mysterious? Don’t be afraid to express your personality – install a set of string curtains around your bed and enjoy the exotic atmosphere!

If you live in a small apartment and one corner of your vital space got transformed in time into a storage facility, it’s time to change the situation! If you don’t have the possibility to remove the things, hide the unaesthetic shelves with a set of string curtains! It will look especially appealing if you match the color of the curtains with the design of your home.

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!
