Filament curtains in the interior
Now filament curtains are used not so much for protection from bright sunlight as for decorating rooms. It is both stylish and beautiful.
In the living room, multi-level filament curtains of light colors or two-three-color ones, suitable for upholstery of upholstered furniture or flooring, will look good. If the living room is large, then thread curtains can be used to separate, for example, the recreation area from the working area.
To decorate the interior of the kitchen, bright curtains made of smooth threads, cut in waves or in the form of an arch, are suitable. Threads decorated with bugles or beads will also look great.
For the bedroom, it is better to choose tightly fitting curtains of dark shades. The threads can be decorated with multi-colored beads, transparent beads or glass beads – the rays of the sun, refracting in them, will be reflected on the walls, creating fabulous patterns.

If two children live in the nursery, then with the help of cotton curtains, each child can create “his” room: it is enough just to separate the beds with tightly fitting threads.
Filament curtains are often used for zoning space. With their help, in the studio room, you can separate the kitchen from the living room, in the kitchen – the dining area from the cooking area, in the bedroom – the parent’s bed from the child’s crib, the relaxation area from the workplace.
