Beaded Curtains For Your Home

Beaded Curtains For Your Home by Guy Morris

Beaded curtains are back in style! You may be thinking that they went out with The Brady Bunch, but they are back in a new and exciting way. These groovy drapes make a great decoration in any room or area of your home and come in a wide range of different designs to enable you to create the perfect look for you.
Where Do I Use the Beaded Curtains?
With your windows, there are many different ways that you can use these beaded curtains. You can choose an entire curtain that is made of colorful strands of beads that hang the entire length of the window or you can use the curtains of bead strings to divide an area of the room from the rest of the room. You will enjoy using these beaded curtains to define an area, but without closing off the area from the rest of the home.
Mosaics are very popular in beaded curtains. These curtains are available in styles like a tapestry with great intricate detail or they are simpler with a more sedate design. Even the more natural look can be achieved with beaded curtains by finding ones with wooden beads.
If you have an open closet or have closet doors that open up into a small room, you may want to consider using beaded curtains to block off this area. They are easy to install and will help to define your closet without taking up too much space.
Going Crazy With Beads
Beaded curtains do not mean that you have to have a complete curtain made of beads. There are other ways that you can use the beauty of beads on your curtains. From sewing them randomly onto existing curtains to add just a little visual interest to creating patterns of sparkle on your curtains, you will find that beads can give old and plain curtains new life.
Edging your drapes, curtains, or sheers with beads can give them a more customized look. Beads can add just the right touch of style and beauty to curtains all over your home.
A beaded fringe added along the hem of a formal drape can help to make it even more elegant and formal looking. This looks works great for a formal living room. To add even more cohesion, you can add the same beaded fringe to pillows thrown around the room.
If you are not a sewer, then you will be happy to know that you can purchase curtains that are ready made and add beading without having to pull out the needle and thread. Hot glue can be used to add beading to curtains, but keep in mind that sewing will be much more durable than a craft glue or hot glue.
Adding beads is a great way to make an old and tired curtain look newer and more stylish. This also gives a room a more customized feel. By using either full beaded curtains or adding beads to existing curtains, you will find that they work great for windows, closets, and for room dividers.

My Sparkly Colourful Bead Curtain

My Sparkly Colourful Bead Curtain

One day not so long ago I had some time to fill in and was aimlessly wandering the shops with no particular goal in mind. I found myself in a small E-thing shop and my attention was drawn to a bead curtain which was on display above the counter. The curtain was made up of the most beautifully coloured elongated beads all of which were an irradescent hue of green, purple, blue and all sorts of other soft shades of colour. It fascinated me and I knew I had to have one of these bead curtains. When I arrived home I hung my bead curtain above the ranch slider and it filled the space of the open slider perfectly. Although the length hung 18 inches off the floor it never the less had a magical presence and looked for all the world as though it was custom made for the job.

Everyone comments on my bead curtain and when the breeze sets it moving gently it has a song of its own. A cross between a tinkle and a sigh - very soft and soothing. I love my bead curtain and have referred others to the same shop but it seems I must have been in the right place at the right time because they have reported there are no more bead curtains quite like my one. I knew it was magical!
