For example, it will be much more comfortable for a child to fall asleep alone in a separate bedroom if he is fenced off from the whole apartment by an almost floating fence with glass and a cozy curtain through which the light of his native apartment glows.

Curtains with your own hands

Making curtains for the doorway with your own hands from improvised materials has many advantages. The main ones are cost savings and the possibility of creating a unique product.

Textile

Traditionally, fabric remains a popular material for curtains. Drawing and color can visually change the size of a space.

For cabinets choose dark tones that emphasize a strictly business style: velvet or taffeta. The jacquard looks good. Hall- Light room. Lightweight fabrics made of linen, organza or viscose are suitable here. For cuisine or hallway more choose non-natural materials made of polyester or with a small percentage of cotton added. Such fabrics are easy to wash and less soiled.

Tree

The easiest way to make wooden curtains is from bamboo sticks. The fabric will be heavy. To fix it, you need a cornice with a thickness of at least 1.5 cm. To assemble curtains from wooden sticks, you will need a skein of strong threads, bamboo straw, paint or varnish.

First, a cornice is fixed over the aisle, having previously painted it. Bamboo straws are cut to the desired size and opened with varnish. You can put the blanks in a metal container, pour water with the addition of silk dye and vinegar and boil for 10 minutes. The dyed straw is strung on threads, without drying completely.

A wooden curtain on the doorway will turn out more beautiful if you string glass beads or varnished shelled nuts between bamboo sticks. Each thread with typed elements is hung on a cornice.

Beads and pendants

According to the principle of bamboo sticks, pendants are made in the doorway with their own hands from a set of beads, plastic tubes, beads, pieces of reeds, buttons. Any material that is strung on a thread will do. In the autumn style, the passage is decorated with pendants from chestnuts, acorns or hollow nuts. A cornice is attached to hang the strips. Each element is strung on a thread, and so that it does not move, knots are tied.

You can assemble a curtain on the door from wooden beads bought in a store or independently machined using a machine. Holes are drilled in the center of the workpiece. Beads are painted with multi-colored paints, opened with varnish or stain.

Ropes

You can make original and cheap pendants on the interior passage with your own hands from multi-colored or plain ropes. The resulting kisei is attached to a cornice or a regular plank. In the first case, the rope fabric can be shifted to the side. On a wooden block, the pendants are fixed tightly with adhesive tape or threaded through drilled holes.

Each or with a certain interval, the rope can be decorated with beads, glass crystals, buttons. Pigtails are woven from threads or interesting knots are tied. The rope curtain is perfect for the arch. Only for its fastening, arched corners are installed.

How to hang curtains on doors and open aisles?

Choose a cornice for a door curtain so that both elements are combined and complement each other. Take into account the general style of the room. Planks come in ceiling and wall mounting types.

Ceiling cornice

For modern, it is preferable to use chrome-plated metal cornices. Blinds are usually attached to such a bar. White cornices are suitable for plastic windows, emphasizing the modern style.

wall cornice

In a room with a rustic style, they decorate the doorway with a bamboo curtain, and attach it to a wooden cornice or a homemade plank. Wood goes well with straw pendants. Filament curtains in an open opening can be hung on a cornice to make them move sideways. The ropes will not interfere with free passage even if they are securely fixed through the holes on the wooden plank.

Making curtains for the passage of an interior partition is most often done independently in order to save money. Although experienced designers also use this technique.

It is quite difficult to imagine the housing of a modern person without curtains on the windows. Such a room becomes lifeless, uncomfortable and unsightly. Curtains have been and will be one of the main components of the interior of the house. But initially, back in the Middle Ages, the curtains on the door were used only to decorate the actual doorways. And in most cases, they were only functional in nature, and were not, as they are now, the subject of room decor.

In modern interior design, curtains often serve only to decorate a room, decorate windows, walls, and doorways. A large selection of curtain fabrics with different textures, colors allows you to create unique interiors of any style. But it is the curtains on the door and the doorway that play, perhaps, the most important role than others.

Door curtains are used not only where there is no door as such, but also where it is made of a transparent material, such as glass. If the door leaf is absent at all, then the curtains become simply necessary so that the opening does not look “naked”, cold and unsightly. They are also used to protect against insects, for zoning space, or if the opening has a non-standard shape.

What are curtains for doors

Like window curtains, door curtains come in a variety of cuts, designs, colors, from different fabrics, from one or more canvases. In addition, they can be made from the most unusual material:

• bamboo
• plastic
• glass
• tree
• sequins
• shells
• beads
• metal or clay small parts assembled in a chain.

The style is also the most diverse, from classic to modern and ultra-fashionable "hi-tech". For the decoration of door niches are most often used:

• classic - made of heavy or light textile materials, falling in a continuous stream to the floor
• French- they are collected in soft transverse folds along their entire length

• "bishop's sleeve" - ​​a straight canvas, gathered just below the middle and decorated with a large sleeve-shaped lap
• Japanese - screen curtains on a rigid frame
• "hourglass" - they, as a rule, make out a glass door leaf, gathering the fabric into folds in the middle of the length

• lambrequins - multi-level curtains of complex configuration, with overlaps and lines of different directions, both vertical and horizontal.

Curtains on the door: the choice of material for manufacturing

The choice of material for door curtains depends on the type of interior of the room, the features of their use. For example, curtains for a balcony door in most cases are only practical in nature - they protect the room from insects entering it.

Very popular magnetic curtains on the door, which are closed without external influence. They are used in country houses, on verandas, terraces, balconies and loggias. Any textile is suitable for manufacturing, but the edges must be processed with a dense fabric that can withstand the weight of small magnets. For their fastening, you will not need cornices or rings with curtains, it is enough to fix magnets on the door frame.

If the curtains serve only as an interior decoration, then they can be made of transparent material, chains, garlands or planks, plates. Wooden, bamboo curtains on the door are used to complement the interiors of rooms in oriental or Japanese style. Bamboo canvas can be translucent or dense, serve for zoning space or decorating it.

Pros and cons of open doorways

Open doorways decorated with curtains have both advantages and a number of disadvantages.

The advantages include:

• originality, if the opening is made in a non-standard form
• lack of clear boundaries of the room - this visually expands the space in small apartments
• cheapness - after all, decorating the opening with curtains is much cheaper than installing doors
• the possibility of changing the interior without large financial investments - new curtains can change and refresh the design of the room.

It can be called a minus, but only conditionally, that the neighboring rooms are practically not demarcated. This factor matters in very rare cases, for example, in large families, where everyone wants to have their own space or privacy is required, and the curtains are not able to provide sufficient sound insulation.

Sometimes a curtain needs pure functionality, like in the season when you need to get rid of annoying flies and mosquitoes in the house. But special magnetic curtains also look quite decorative.

The use of fabric draperies instead of interior walls and doors is a very old tradition that has been around since time immemorial. The advent and spread of lightweight and cheap materials such as drywall, chipboard, MDF, etc. has forced fabric solutions out of our homes, but not forever. It turned out that the use of curtains as doors, partitions and visual dividers in some cases is more convenient and appropriate. Now this method of interior design is again quite popular.

Curtains instead of doors and partitions: where are they used?

Curtains as light screens are used for zoning in studio apartments and in rooms in which the bedroom is combined with another functional area: a living room, an office, a nursery.

Fabric draperies are a traditional addition to the sleeping alcove. If you put a blank partition and a door here, you get a closet or closet. Sleeping in such a nook will not be very pleasant. Another thing is a curtain that does not interfere with air circulation and allows you to easily adjust the level of privacy.

In general, it is in the bedrooms that curtains instead of doors and partitions are the most organic, because there is always a lot of textiles here. Therefore, for a built-in (and not only) wardrobe or a mini-dressing room in the bedroom, doors are not necessary - curtains perfectly cope with their function, absolutely harmonious here.

Due to their lightness and safety, fabric “doors” are great for equipping wardrobes in a children’s room.

Fabrics are also used to decorate doorways between rooms in the case when privacy is not required.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the styles. The use of curtains instead of furniture and interior doors is most typical for interiors in rural(Country, Provence) and vintage(retro, shabby chic) ​​styles. Curtains as screens for zoning are used in any style, including modern minimalism and.

Country

Advantages and disadvantages

pros

– Fabric draperies give the interior a touch of romance and endow with features such as softness and lightness.

- Translucent light curtains used instead of partitions do not interfere with the movement of light.

– By separating the sleeping area in the studio or common room with an opaque curtain, you can give the room a presentable look in a matter of seconds. When unexpected guests arrive, you don’t have to frantically make the bed and hide personal belongings - it will be enough to close the curtain.

- A thin curtain steals much less centimeters that are dear to us than a full-fledged partition. During the day, the curtain can be moved to the side, thereby expanding the space for receiving guests or children's games.

— An important advantage is the ease of installation. The process of creating a fabric screen or door is fast, easy and clean.

- If the curtain used instead of a door or a partition gets bored, it can be changed at any time. Fortunately, the cost of this solution is low, and the process of making changes is not too tedious.

Minuses

- Many people treat draperies as dust collectors. This is said to be unhealthy. Yes, dust settles on the folds of the fabric. But if we compare the fabric “dust collector” with partitions and facades made of modern materials, it is not a fact that the environmental friendliness of the latter will be higher. It is no secret that many artificial materials are capable of releasing hazardous substances. And the “dust collector” can always be removed and washed in the washing machine. It is not so difficult.

- While the curtain is in the wash or dry-cleaning, the space remains open, which deprives the interior of comfort. The situation will be saved by the purchase of two fabric sets at once. One goes to the purge - the other takes his place.

- A significant disadvantage of textile partitions and "doors" is that they do not protect against noise and odors. In fact, the curtain does not create a closed private area.

Curtain design with partition or door function

1. For these purposes, fabrics that can keep their shape well are optimal. Smooth folds will decorate the room, and “loose” ones will create a feeling of disorder and untidiness.

2. Choosing the color and pattern of the fabric, you need to take into account the design of the window. Here the principle is this: if the curtain on the window is colored, then the additional curtain in the room should be exactly the same or neutral (for example, white or beige).

If the curtain on the window is neutral, then the choice for additional drapery expands. The curtain for zoning can be matched to the color of the walls, upholstered furniture, bedspreads, etc. If desired, it can also be made neutral.

3. Fabric partitions and "doors" for the closet should not be stubby and crumpled - this spoils the entire interior. It is worth making the curtain long (to the floor or to the bottom of the cabinet) and be sure to iron it before use.

4. The curtain for zoning and separation can be made from both heavy and very light fabrics, including a veil or even lace.

5. To separate zones, it is permissible to use two types of drapery, as is customary in window decoration: one is light and transparent, the other is darker and denser. To make it light in all zones, only a light curtain is left closed, but if it becomes necessary to make one of the zones more closed, a thick curtain is used.

Curtains on the doorway are an excellent option for saving space in the room, and exclusive decoration of the entrance to the room. Refusal to use the door leaf saves square meters, opens up great opportunities for the owner of the house to implement creative ideas. Which decorative curtains to choose for the doorway, their types and features will be prompted by the article.
