Beaded Curtains
Beaded curtains make windows colorful and
are especially good if you want a dramatic entrance to a room. They
have been used in Asia for many decades and their popularity in the
West rose dramatically in the 1960s. A string of beads are hung from
a rod and this was used to achieve the perfect bohemian look that
was in vogue at that time. Different types of beads were used to
make the door/window colorful and attractive.
Besides being used for doors and windows, beaded curtains are also
used to divide a room. They are commonly used in small shops or
restaurants to cordon off the storage room or kitchen. You can also
use beaded curtains to divide you room. They are used to cover open
closets, sleeping quarters and storage areas.
Beaded curtains are popular today with the spread of interest in
Feng Shui, according to which passing though a beaded curtain will
have soothing effects. It is also believed that positive energy is
spread when air passes through the beads.
Different types of beads are used in making beaded curtains. These
include glass, wood, plastic, bamboo, acrylic and sometimes even
crystals and gemstones. Beads are normally cheap and if you don't
want to buy the curtain readymade, this is a simple project you can
undertake at home. You can use as many materials as you like in
varied sizes and shapes.
Beaded curtains are also popular as they are low maintenance. If
they get dirty, rinse them in soapy water. If your beaded curtain
breaks, you don't have to worry as you can either mend them or since
they are inexpensive, replace them with new ones.
