Curtains on the doorway - the idea is not new. Our ancestors, for example, “creatively” made out the entrance to their own dwelling with the skins of animals. It is a functional solution.
Today doorways are decorated with curtains of various shapes and materials mainly for aesthetic purposes. I want to arrange the room in an unusual and convenient way.
It is worth noting that the curtains on the doorway is a solution that is suitable for almost any style, the main thing is to choose the right material and shape of the structure. Curtains on the door or doorway will not provide good sound insulation, and will not be reliable protection from light or other people's views, but, as a rule, this is not required of them.
The following products are used as materials for such curtains.

In rare cases, it is necessary to hide the presence of doors. This is because the doors do not fit into the overall design solution. Then the canvas is attached directly to the door. And, while in the room, you can not even immediately determine what the interroom door hides behind a beautifully draped curtain.For such purposes, more often use volumetric designs with ruffles and frills, from the material chosen to match the general decoration of the walls or upholstery of upholstered furniture.
Important! Special attention should be paid to the fastening of the canvas, both on the door itself and on the doorway. Take care of a reliable option, because the doors will constantly open and close, and the design may not withstand.

Types of decorative curtains
Plastic
Plastic products are valued for durability, practicality, ease of operation, as well as for water resistance. It is not surprising that “portieres” of such material are used in different rooms and structures: in gazebos, on terraces, in bathrooms, in the kitchen space, and also in industrial premises - in warehouses and car washes.
Unlike other materials, plastic is a very practical material, therefore, in addition to the decorative function, it also copes with protection from rain and wind, with preservation of heat in the room and has good translucency.
Someone prefers the classic version of canvases moving along the eaves, to someone more like a model that is going to roll.
Wood
It is difficult to find a more eco-friendly and pleasant material than wood. It is not surprising that he is so in demand in different areas and areas of our life. And wooden curtains for doors is a work of art, which besides its main task - zoning of space - copes well with the aesthetic function - to delight and delight.
Small pieces of wood strung on a strong cord in a certain order can surprise. Available in different color variations, there are plain curtains or contrasting. Pieces of wood of the simplest form (cubes, circles) or true mini masterpieces.
A similar element of the interior is combined with additional wooden objects in the room: statuettes, lamps or shelves.
Along with the visual appeal and exclusivity, these curtains have several disadvantages.
- Can seriously complicate the passage from one room to another.
- Difficult to care for. Dust accumulates on small elements, and it is very difficult to wash such curtains: the tree expands from water and the color suffers.
- Wooden curtains - a noisy element of the interior, which can also be annoying.
By itself, the design is quite heavy, which means that just hanging on a carnation is not an option. Use a special eaves, which will not "argue" with a common interior solution and will ensure the safety of you, your household and pets.
In addition, even if the design of decorative curtains for the door you liked in the store, not the fact that it fits perfectly into the interior. Only one rule: the room should not be all wooden: wall, floor decoration, furniture of natural color, as well as window blinds and curtains for doorways. In this case, you risk losing the highlight that wooden decor gives the interior.
Of beads
It cannot be said that such interior curtains are the most popular option, but craftswomen often use them in the interior. Moreover, today beads are available in a large assortment.
Most often, these "curtains" are used to zoning space in the bedroom or nursery, or to separate the bay window from the main part of the room. Properly selected beads and the shape of the structure are really capable of making the room comfortable and pleasant for spending time.
Cotton
The eastern element of the interior has firmly entered our daily life and helps to make it spectacular. Cotton curtains are used for a long time. They are appropriate as a standard window opening design, suitable for zoning space and able to decorate any doorway. By the way, such a model can be created with your own hands. It does not require serious financial investments, and with minimal time and effort, you can make your own exclusive interior element.
Curtains-harmonicas
An interesting know-how that has found recognition. They are made of different materials: glass, plastic, wood or paper. Used in different rooms. For example, a plastic accordion curtain in the bathroom will protect the room from excess water. And paper curtains with an accordion on the windows (plisse) will reliably protect from excess light and will eliminate the need to use three-dimensional structures.
Curtains for interior doors do it yourself
If you are a supporter of the classic version, then you can sew curtains with your own hands from fabric.
This will require:
- scissors, centimeter, pins;
- sewing machine;
- special braid;
- the cloth.
Important! Choosing a simple design of curtains for interior doors, you can "win" at the expense of spectacular fabric.
Novice needlewomen better to opt for a simple model: two separate curtains, freely sliding on the bottom. You will need to take two measurements: length and width. To the canvas were voluminous, the width of the doorway is multiplied by 2. We choose the length at will.
First we process the sides of the canvases. Then run the line on the bottom. And we sew a special band to the upper part, thanks to which the canvas will hold the required volume. At the last stage, we fasten the curtains to the eaves and place the eaves above the door.
With a little imagination, the standard doorway can be turned into a real gem of the interior.
