Quite recently, thread curtains in the interior, coming from the East, have become very popular. They fit very organically into the interior of any room, transform and refresh windows, and have a huge variety of designs.
With thread curtains you can quite successfully decorate the windows of rooms with various functional purposes. And not just windows. With the help of thread curtains you can zone the space of a room, fence off a secluded corner, fill the interior space and simply decorate a wall.
Let's take a closer look at the use of thread curtains in the interior of various rooms.
Thread curtains in the kitchen
Very often, people hesitate to decorate their kitchen windows with thread curtains, fearing that they will constantly get dirty. But there are many models of such curtains with a special coating that prevents contamination by protecting the surface of the curtains from settling dust and grease.
Thread curtains should match the overall style of the kitchen and fit organically into the design of the room. Thanks to the wide variety of curtains, you can easily choose the appropriate color palette and original decorative look. Very often, metallic thread curtains are selected for the kitchen, which harmonize favorably with the chrome elements of the kitchen interior.
If you want to zone the kitchen space, dividing it into a dining room and a food preparation area, thread curtains will also come in handy here, which will separate the zones from each other with a translucent cloud and give the kitchen a special charm and cozy atmosphere.
Thread curtains in the living room
The ideal place to place filament curtains is the living room. The large area of the hall allows for very original placement of curtain segments at different length levels. At the same time, the height of the thread curtains can be changed independently, by tying them in various ways or even by trimming them as necessary. Thanks to these features, the appearance of the window can be constantly changed, refreshing the interior without much effort.
Often the design of windows in the hall can be complex, multi-level, but still, thread curtains fit perfectly into the overall ensemble, complementing it with unique lightness and a special sound.
Using thread curtains, you can separate a small office or library from the total area of the room. The advantage of filament curtains is the ability to easily combine divided space, easily removing them as needed.
We use muslin
Thread curtains can easily perform the lead role when decorating a window opening without compromising its aesthetic qualities. Although, if additional protection from sunlight is needed, they are combined with light-proof fabrics. This “union” looks very organic. As room-darkening curtains for the kitchen, roller structures or non-massive curtains are used: length up to the window sill, with soft, slightly marked drapery.

Beaded model
To create an elegant atmosphere, string curtains with beads and bugles are used; in one product several contrasting colors are combined or an emphasis is placed on the unusual structure of the fibers: it can be melange, with a pile of threads, connected with denser inserts in the shape of butterflies and flowers.
Flowing curtains do not require cutting or processing of cuts:
- For fastening, curtain tape is sewn onto the upper part of the product.
- To cut curtain threads, you only need scissors - no need to hem the edges. The procedure is reminiscent of cutting hair: the threads are first straightened and aligned. The cut is formed arbitrarily: you can limit yourself to adjusting the length, leaving a smooth lower edge, or experiment with curly and asymmetrical configurations of the lower part.
- Long streams are collected with beautiful hooks, braided, and tied in fancy knots.
Thread curtains in the bedroom
Thread curtains are very appropriate in bedroom design. Thanks to the tight closure of the threads, excess sunlight from the windows does not penetrate into the bedroom and does not interfere with proper rest. For the bedroom you should choose darker shades of curtains. Despite the tightness of the threads, fresh air easily penetrates through the curtains, promoting healthy sleep.
The choice of shape and design of curtains depends entirely on the style of the bedroom and the artistic taste of the owners. Therefore, simple models of thread curtains can be replaced with thread curtains with beads, sequins or feathers, which look very original, romantic and aesthetically pleasing.
For the windows of a married couple's bedroom, you can intersperse beads or beads, crystals and other shiny elements into the thread curtains. The result will be a calm and balanced, quite interesting design that will appeal to all residents.

Using thread curtains, you can make an excellent canopy, amazingly light, flowing, and transparent. The right color will help create a suitable environment. It can be a secluded island of bliss, or a comfortable bed, flooded with a mysterious flickering light.
In a child's bedroom, thread curtains should be a real decoration, having rainbow bright colors and cheerful designs. They can consist of beads and bugles, as well as buttons and even pompoms - all for the pleasure of the baby, who will certainly not remain indifferent to such beauty. This design will fill the room with a cheerful atmosphere and create a good mood for the little owner.
For teenagers, thread curtains in calm pastel shades are suitable, which will easily and unobtrusively fit into any interior and emphasize the style and taste of its owner.

Types of curtains
Kiseya
One type of thread curtains is muslin. This is a translucent sparsely woven cotton fabric with a special plain weave. Kisey can be colored, patterned, or decorated with embroidery. Muslin thread curtains are made from synthetic threads of different thicknesses and decorated with interspersed lurex, bugles or other small shiny elements. The tighter top weave of these curtains makes it easy to attach them so that they fall beautifully in a continuous cascade, giving the room a chic bohemian look.
Thread curtains with beads
It's hard to take your eyes off these curtains. They simply attract with their beauty. The beads can be arranged evenly or randomly. You can make such models yourself by stringing decorative elements onto ordinary thread curtains. Such curtains are usually used in eclectic styles, where strict boundaries are not maintained. Such curtains look very organic in glamorous and ethnic styles. The light, refracted through the beads, creates beautiful glare, and a light blow of wind turns the curtain into a real waterfall of reflections and light. When choosing thread curtains with beads for the interior of a room, you should remember that such curtains cannot be used in a nursery, where a small child can accidentally tear off the beads and harm their health.
Solid thread curtains
Such curtains have the usual appearance of flowing threads, but they are based on solid, strong materials. Such curtains look very impressive; they can be decorated with various decorative accessories, but they can also have a strict ascetic appearance.
Rope curtains
To create such curtains, acetate fabric, polyester, viscose, lurex, as well as rhinestones and beads are most often used. Rope curtains can take the form of curtains, as well as vertical blinds, which can be adjusted with a special mechanism. These blinds look much more impressive than their conventional counterparts.
Original curtains for the bedroom
Depending on the style of the bedroom, thread curtains can very effectively decorate a window or door. The muslin at the head of the bed will also look interesting. Beads, beads, glass beads and droplets and other colorful details can be an addition to almost any bedroom.
Threads with beads can not only be combined with each other, they can complement ordinary parterres and give them some zest. Several threads with rhinestones and sparkles can decorate a lady's table. A rainbow of rhinestones and beads will also look very beautiful in the bedroom. You can also hang them at the entrance to the dressing room. You must remember to wash thread curtains so that they do not spoil the appearance of the room.

Choosing the right curtain color
How to choose the best color for thread curtains? A positive result directly depends on the ability to harmoniously combine them with the overall color scheme of the room.
There are two ways to select curtains:
- Curtains must exactly match the main color of the room; deviations can only be allowed within one color.
- Curtains should be contrasting with the main color of the room.
When choosing curtains, you need to take into account the style and functional purpose of a particular room, since curtains bought at random will look ridiculous.
For example, in a southern room, curtains of darker shades will be suitable, which will protect the room from bright sunlight. For the nursery you can choose bright, multi-colored curtains with interesting decorative elements.
A room decorated in a high-tech style will be decorated with thread curtains of a single color, or consisting of solid materials with a metallic sheen. Classic interiors will be decorated with multi-level thread curtains, from which you can create a unique masterpiece, complemented by an original lambrequin.
Decoration of premises for various purposes
Having decided on style and color preferences, it is important to consider the everyday side of the issue: which rooms need to be decorated, what their intended purpose is.
Thus, shortened models are often chosen for the kitchen. It is better to use synthetic materials that are unable to absorb odor and have a dirt-repellent treatment. If these are curtains with beads, then soot and dust will settle on them, then you will have to wash them more often, and this will have to be done manually.
In a nursery, rich, cheerful colors are acceptable. An option with a pattern is appropriate - cartoon characters, animals, etc. You should not hang curtains consisting of small hard objects. The threads of rope curtains are usually strong, but you still shouldn’t risk your baby’s health.
For a teenage child, it is possible to use bright and unusual finishes. These are beads, rhinestones and feathers - for girls. Chrome plates, chains - for boys.
In the hallway it is recommended to use dark colors; in the corridor the color is matched to the general tones of the interior.
The bedroom provides a place for relaxation and rest. There is no need for flashy, provocative colors here. You should also think about the density of the muslin. The thicker it is, the less light transmits it.
Caring for filament curtains
Although the curtains look very fragile at first glance, in fact they do not require particularly difficult care. Many types of such curtains have a special coating that protects them from dust and dirt, so they have to be cleaned much less often than ordinary fabric counterparts.
If there is a need to wash thread curtains, there are several ways to restore their purity and beauty without compromising quality. The first and easiest way is to have your curtains dry cleaned in the hands of professionals who will carefully take care of them. The second way is to machine wash them. In this case, the curtains must be carefully and tightly rolled up and secured with strings to avoid tangling during washing. This method is much more risky and carries the risk of damaging the product. Therefore, it is better to refuse it. The best option is to gently wash the product in a weak soap solution, without squeezing or twisting, so as not to damage the structure of the threads. If the curtains are made of beads, you can simply wipe them with a damp cloth, or give them to dry cleaning specialists.

In the living room, use multi-layer compositions of textiles and rope curtains. This will favorably emphasize the status of the room and will be an excellent stylistic element. The strings can be left hanging freely, pinned with tiebacks, clamps, or braided.
In the bedroom, strings made of threads will create a romantic mood. A canopy over the bed made of thread curtains will become a mysterious highlight of your bedroom. It is better to opt for models without hard fittings with a soft and calm palette of shades.

For the kitchen, a curtain made of threads is an ideal option. It allows light and air to pass through, easily takes any shape, does not require complicated care, and after washing it returns to its original appearance. The only caveat is that the thread material must be synthetic. It is better to avoid natural cotton, linen and decorative elements made of wood. They absorb moisture and accumulate odors.

It is important to maintain a balance of design: bright curtains should have modest, simple accessories, and laconic and strict curtains can be beautifully decorated with bright and eye-catching hairpins. Hairpins, clothespins and other elements can be used in various ways, thanks to which the window design can be radically transformed, changing the usual environment.
