Filament curtains, decorated with beads or glass beads, become much more attractive and noticeable. They are able to revive even the most boring and austere interior! It is almost impossible to take your eyes off the threads, as sunlight, falling on beads or glass beads, plays with bright highlights. The location of decorative elements on the threads practically does not matter - they can be staggered, at the end or beginning of the thread.

Despite the fact that such curtains are sold already with decorative elements applied to them, you can decorate them yourself. DIY-decorated filament curtains will make the room more comfortable and romantic, and will look most impressive in high-tech or minimalist rooms.

Designers use this technique when decorating the interiors of studio apartments, where it allows you to create the effect of privacy.

When choosing the color of the product, it is desirable that it blends well with the color of the walls, floor, furniture and objects in the room. If the room is decorated in a neutral color scheme, then you can install filament curtains with a gradient color, where the tones smoothly or abruptly change from bright to dull.

Color selection rules

Filament curtains will look appropriate and harmonious in the room only if they match the color scheme of the interior. In order to choose the right color for curtains, use the advice of professional designers:

Use the principle of contrast. This means that if the room is decorated in light colors, then the curtains must be purchased in a dark color. And vice versa, in a dark room they choose light curtains.

You can purchase curtains in the same color as the entire room. For example, white threads in combination with white wallpaper, or even a window sill, will make the room more airy and cozy.

If the repair is almost over, and the curtains have not yet been selected, then you can purchase a canvas in the color of the brightest thing in the room. Designers often use this rule when designing a room.

When choosing the color of filament curtains, you need to consider that some windows face the north side, while others face the south.. In the first case, curtains of warm, sandy shades will look most attractive, and in the second, canvases of warm and cold colors.

Filament curtains for the kitchen

Kisei threads are the perfect solution for the kitchen. They will make horizontal slats less strict, and the kitchen itself more comfortable.

“Filament curtains for the kitchen that imitate rain are very popular”

The most common type of muslin made of threads are curtains with narrow threads. Thin threads make such a canvas as airy and light as possible. Narrow threads can be used both to decorate a window in a small kitchen, and to divide it into several separate functional areas.

Kiseya from spiral ropes or rainbow curtains with a smooth color transition will help to make the kitchen design more sophisticated. The curtain can be both monophonic and multi-colored.

Filament curtains for the kitchen, imitating rain, are very popular. They are made of shiny metallic threads that move randomly and thus make the room more festive.

Some professional designers even advise decorating muslin threads with feathers or butterflies. If the room is decorated in light and warm colors, then the filament curtains for the kitchen can be trimmed with plush pompoms.

Filament curtains in the bedroom

In the bedroom, a person usually relaxes, for this reason, the bedroom should always have a limited amount of incoming sunlight. Curtains with tightly spaced threads will scatter and reflect the sun's rays well, but this is not enough. To create twilight, which is necessary for daytime sleep, it is better to combine muslin threads with other, thicker curtains.

Filament curtains will look spectacular in any bedroom interior. They will harmoniously complement heavy and pompous curtains, airy and romantic Austrian curtains, strict and formal blinds, as well as laconic and practical roller blinds.In order not to make a mistake when choosing curtains from threads, you should first choose a dense fabric.

Regardless of the design of the room, as well as personal preferences, everyone can find threads from muslin to taste. If the repair is carried out in the girl's bedroom, then you can purchase filament curtains trimmed with glass beads, feathers or imitation pearls. In the bedrooms of married couples or adult children, it is worth hanging a more strict curtain made of silk threads.

Ideas and helpful tips

Some hang a canopy over the bed, which is made of the same muslin as the curtain. The canopy is attached to the ceiling or a special cornice. Today, this technique of experienced designers is becoming increasingly popular. The canopy creates a peaceful atmosphere in the bedroom, and also promotes quick relaxation.

Curtains made of muslin threads allow you to always control the level of illumination in the room. If it is necessary that there is less light in the room, then the curtain is hung evenly. If you need it to be light, then small folds are created on the curtain with your hands.

To give the curtains an original look, ordinary scissors are enough. The threads are cut at different levels, then the edges of the cuts are soldered. Despite the fact that the material does not delaminate and does not crumble, soldering is best done.

If you plan to hang several types of curtains in the room at once, then you need to be careful when choosing the color of the muslin threads. In such cases, it is better to stick to warm and light shades. It is not recommended to decorate the threads with anything.

You can independently change the design of filament curtains with the help of beads, pearls, stones and palettes. Sometimes muslin threads are tied into one bundle, after which they are decorated with various hairpins and holders.

Curtains, where the threads are dyed dark, shade the room even better. Such threads will look great next to white curtains. Also, such curtains can be beautifully filed if you put white transparent tulles under them. Thus, it will be possible to make the interior of the room more individual, as well as create an intimate atmosphere in it.

How to make filament curtains with your own hands

“Shop curtains are not cheap, but you need to take into account that you will need a lot of material to make a fabric of filament curtains with your own hands”

Kisei curtains are a fashionable accessory for any room, decorated in any style. They are distinguished by their practicality, including because they can be made on their own.

Do-it-yourself filament curtains will diversify the interior of any room, and then, if desired, will allow you to change it with the help of other models, also made independently.

Before you start creating a filament curtain, you need to decide in which part of the room it will be installed. The color of the threads should at least slightly match the color of the floor, walls and other items in the room. You also need to decide whether the threads will be trimmed with decor - the design of the curtains depends on the decorating elements. Curtains can be either light transparent threads or thick, almost translucent fabrics. The choice of a particular model depends on the style of the room and the preferences of the owner.

For manufacturing you will need:

• cornice;
• tapes;
• multi-colored threads;
• jewelry (in the form of sequins, beads, etc.).

You can’t make a mistake with the length of the product - keep in mind that the muslin will look most impressive if its threads lie a little on the floor. The length of the canvas should exceed the distance from the eaves to the floor of the room by about 20 centimeters.

Then you need to calculate how many threads you need to create curtains. To do this, you need to take the length of the cornice, and then divide it by the distance between the threads. The resulting number will mean the number of threads on the cornice.

If the threads are sparse, then it is better to hang them with transparent tulle. If you place the threads closer to each other, then the density of the curtain will increase. The thickness of the threads also affects the density. Experts recommend using 4-5 thin threads per 1 cm of width.

Fastening

There are several ways to attach threads to a cornice. When choosing a mounting method, make sure that it matches the style of the room. For example, to attach curtains to the eaves, you can use some kind of loops that are put on the tape. Next, the tape is attached to the cornice itself.

You can also attach curtains from muslin threads with the help of rings. The rings themselves serve to tie bundles of threads, while the rings easily move along the eaves.

You can also use a wooden rail. To do this, it is necessary to make holes in it in order to hold the curtain threads. With this fastening, it will not work to move the curtains apart or move them.

The choice of material for manufacturing

The threads that will be used in the manufacture of curtains are influenced by the type and style of the curtain, as well as the tastes of the owner of the room. Store curtains are not cheap, but you need to take into account that you will need a lot of material to make a fabric of filament curtains with your own hands.

You can use simple yarn or shiny threads with an eyelet. When choosing a material for filament curtains, it is recommended to immediately purchase the appropriate decor elements: sequins, beads, hairpins, etc. You can also use decorative butterflies, bells or artificial flowers when decorating. In order not to damage the material during the manufacture of curtains, you should look at the corresponding master class on the Internet.

If you need to hang a lot of beads on a thread, you can pre-tie a lot of knots on it. Professional designers do not recommend hanging more than ten decorations on one thread, as this will make the curtain heavy and bulky.

The choice of the style of self-made filament curtains depends on the room where they will be hung. For example, in a doorway, you can make curtains in the shape of an arch. Such a canvas will not interfere with passing through the passage. Doing them to the floor or below is not recommended.

Light filament curtains are often installed in the kitchen, the length of which is equal to the distance from the cornice to the window sill. This is due to the active use of the surface of the window sill: flowers, household appliances, dishes can stand on it.
