Alternative and original uses for curtain decorations

Of course, either of the two previous posts, both the one on curtain hanging systems and the one on decorative trends, will apply perfectly to any of these solutions. Shall we begin?

Curtains as room dividers

If we want a diaphanous and open distribution in our home, using curtains to delimit each room is a good alternative option. It allows us to frame and differentiate one space from another temporarily and remove the curtains when we want a continuous space for visitors.

Curtains as room dividers are a light and decorative system to give privacy to one or more areas of our house. They work especially well in contemporary and bohemian style environments because of their organic and neat character.

You can choose curtains in the same tone or color as your walls if you want them to blend in with the space, or go for a different color if you prefer them to contrast with the rest of your home.

Curtains framing the bed

The bed area is an intimate space and there is nothing better than a curtain to create that private setting in a relaxed or romantic way.

In this case you have the option of placing the curtains on either side of the bed hanging from a canopy or a light fastening system, or framing the area before the bedroom to your bed with them as an antechamber to the sleeping space.

In both cases, choose soft, fine, natural fabrics such as linen or cotton that allow air circulation for optimal comfort during the night.

Curtains as headboard

The curtains were originally designed to frame windows, but why not also take advantage of them to recreate a warm space as a bed headboard? Its fall and texture make them the perfect alternative to delimit the main wall giving a point of character and style to the bedroom without taking up much space and without costing us a kidney.

Closets and Dressing Rooms

Doors and Access

They provide warmth and privacy in cases of shared bathroom maximizing its functionality in the day to day and creating a more pleasant atmosphere. You can also use the curtains to frame access without doors such as terraces or porches and create different areas.

Different curtains to dress the bathtub
