Beaded curtains are more suitable for window openings. But with a skillful approach, you can use them to transform any area in a living space. The product may be useful in the following cases:

Curtains made of beads can be used to highlight a certain area of the room, placing emphasis on it. This option is suitable for any room. The main thing is that the design and color of the decorations match the interior.
Framing kitchen curtains
You can make your own window decoration by decorating a shortened kitchen curtain with shining “paths” of beads. The threads hang at equal distances; to add zest, you can make them of different lengths, contracting towards the center in a semicircle or alternating long and short paths through one. Kitchen curtains can be decorated with full-height bead tracks. A bright contrasting color or shade is selected that complements the color of the curtains and the tracks are run along the entire width of the curtains, then assembled with fastenings on the side.
Zoning rooms with beads
Instead of bulky doors that clumsily slam and are heavy, decorate the room with your own hands with translucent or bright stones. The light rustle of beads, their shine and shimmer add a festive atmosphere to gray everyday life.
Styles
Depending on the base material, you can choose one of the following styles:
- glass curtains are ideal for eclecticism and retro tastes;
- starfish, shells, colored stones are suitable for lovers of sea trends;
- products made from wooden beads are chosen for interiors in eco- and country style;
- lovers of romance can choose curtains made of flowers and hearts.
When choosing a harmonious color, it is necessary to take into account not only the compatibility of tones, but also the specifics of the room:
- For dimly lit northern rooms, warm shades are more suitable - beige, orange, golden, green.
- It is advisable to decorate the children's room with rich colors - red, azure, yellow.
- If the room has strong lighting in the southern rooms, then it is advisable to use cool shades - lilac, blue, violet.
To make interior curtains from beads with the effect of flowing water, designers advise choosing transparent parts of different diameters. Drop-shaped products are also suitable.
Models of curtains for the kitchen made of beads
Curtains made of beads are very good to use in the kitchen, because they are practical, look original and transform the room. They decorate windows, door arches, and if the kitchen is spacious, they divide it into cooking and eating areas.
Caring for curtains with hanging parts is not very difficult . Each thread is detached from the cornice, washed in soapy water, rinsed and dried.
If there are a lot of threads or it is not possible to disconnect them, then use glass detergent. A sponge is moistened in it and the tapes are wiped, holding them at the top with one hand and moving them down with the other. This cleaning is carried out approximately once a year.
When decorating a kitchen, you should remember that decorative plastic is sensitive to high temperatures, so acrylic decorations should not be hung near a stove, electric kettle or other heating devices.
Rules of care
Factory-made and home-made products do not require special care. It is only necessary to periodically clean them from dust. If there is severe contamination, then a soft rag and a weak soap solution are required. The exception is wooden products, which must be wiped with a slightly dampened cloth and then with a dry paper towel. Do not use strong chemicals.
How to make curtains from beads to order
Since crystal and glass bead curtains cannot be trimmed or hemmed, they are often made to order.
The shape of the curtain edge is very varied. It can be straight, arched, beveled, torn, wave-shaped, etc.
There are companies that accept orders for the production of original diagrams in accordance with the specific design of the room.
Having drawn up a diagram, the master calculates how much material will be used for the product and how long the work will take. The final cost will be calculated according to this.
Threads with beads strung on them are attached to the cornice. It is very good if you have the opportunity to see samples of curtains live and evaluate their quality and beauty.
Features of products made from wooden beads
Curtains made of wooden beads are often used for doorways. Such products are suitable for creating an interior in ethno style. These curtains can give the room an African touch. For this, small and large beads of different shapes and colors are used.
You can make such products yourself. When installing curtains on the door, you should be prepared that they will get tangled. It is necessary to untangle them carefully so as not to damage the threads, and then hang them in their original form.
Necessary materials for creating curtains
To make curtains from acrylic beads with your own hands, we will need the following materials and tools:
- choose and purchase a lot of acrylic beads of the size and colors you need;
- a skein of strong and thick fishing line;
- a wooden strip on which the fishing lines will be attached;
- self-tapping screws for fastening and small nails;
- drill, if available.
After collecting all the necessary components and elements of the future curtain, you can get to work.
Decorating fabric curtains
Beads can be used to decorate fabric curtains. To do this, you can sew small glass items around the entire perimeter of the product. The decor of one color is suitable, which will allow you to accentuate the details of the curtain. But you can use multi-colored beads, doing something like embroidery.
Collected pendant beads are attached to the bottom of a short curtain, creating an original continuation. This type of decoration is suitable for products up to the window sill and shorter. Therefore, if you have curtains at home, they can be easily transformed if you use suitable beads.
What do you need for work?
As you can see from the photo, beaded curtains look great in the interior. For quick assembly, you need to do the following work in advance:
- Measure the parameters of the opening or area on the wall that will be decorated.
- Determine the size and characteristics, external design of the beads, create a sketch that will allow you to calculate the required amount of materials.
- If you want to make a movable beaded panel, you can take special patterns, for example, those used in cross stitch.
- Select an acceptable type of fastening.
- Buy materials with a reserve.
In order for string curtains with beads to hang evenly, there must be a weight at the tip of each element, for example, a larger bead or the same size, but made of a different material. For stringing, a fishing line is purchased, the parameters of which are determined by the nature of the selected material: the more complex the composition, the heavier it will be. Silk or nylon threads, braided cords, elastic bands, and metal wires serve as an excellent base.
Rope curtains, as well as products with satin ribbons, look original. In these cases, large elements are used and strung at a considerable distance from each other. To fix the part on the base, one of the following techniques can be used:
- Using special metal clamps and crimps, they are secured near the parts and secured with pliers.
- Using knots on both sides.
- Thanks to the formed loops, the fishing line is threaded into the channel 2 times and tightened.
The first 2 methods are considered more reliable, with them there is a guarantee that the drawing will not go astray in the future. In case 3, the parts are movable, it is possible to adjust the ornament, but the original idea may be spoiled.
Where to buy ready-made beaded curtains
Some girls prefer to weave curtains with their own hands, but it is much easier to buy ready-made openwork decorations for the interior.
Stores and manufacturers
Typically, craftsmen create their own groups or websites where everyone can view samples, agree on a pattern, and choose the color of beads.
There are organizations that work exclusively remotely, there are also companies where you can come, chat with a designer, look at samples with your own eyes, and even order curtain rod installation services.

- size and shape of the finished canvas;
- stringing density;
- weaving patterns.
Manufacturing and fixing
It is necessary to choose a convenient option for mounting the structure in a window or doorway. Typically a curtain rod with curtain rings is used. Often slats with holes are used through which the fishing line is passed. If you want to fix each finished thread separately, it is advisable to hammer small stationery nails with beautiful heads into the jamb. The most mobile is method 1 - then the curtain can be quickly removed and moved to a convenient place.
As an example, you can use a rack connection and, based on it, consider the process of assembling the product:
- The rail for products that are installed on the door exceeds the width of the opening by 10 cm. Between the holes there should be 1.5 times the diameter of the large bead used. The margin of the edges of the frame is 5-6 cm.
- In order for the drawing to be accurate, you must first draw up a sketch with markings of colors, the order of beads and the distance between them.
- It is necessary to cut the fishing line to the required length, and if a loop or knot fastening is used, then the allowance should be from 60 cm.
- Assembly must be done from below.
- As the line is filled, it is fixed to the rail, and then the composition is mounted in the opening.
Curtains made of beads are an original addition that suits any room style. A variety of colors, textures and materials will help highlight the interior. To decorate the room to your liking, it is advisable to make such curtains yourself. An original composition can decorate a room and make it more comfortable.
