Curtains aren’t only for windows, this is a universal thing you can use around the house for various purposes: separating the spaces, hiding the clutter and eye sores away. Here are some ideas to make use of curtains around the house.
Separating The Spaces
Bedrooms With Curtains
You can separate your bedroom from the rest of the open layout with curtains, and this is a cool idea as open layouts are considered uncomfy and non-cozy. The main advantages of curtains in this case is that they can be lightweight to let light in, they separate the spaces well and you will add them easily. Curtains don’t take any space and can be changed to match the interiors. One more idea is an alcove bedroom at the window that can be also covered with curtains to create a cozy nook.
