Of course, the fabric cannot compete with wood, neither strength or other parameters except for the cheapness and ease of use. Even the most dense curtains skip the sounds, odors and temperatures are much better than the canvas made of fiberboard or chipboard.
If we talk about decorative qualities, then the handles, loops and carved panels decorate the interior are not worse than the exquisite patterns on matter. The point here is neither convenience, nor in expediency, but in Charm, concluded in the designer reception.

Wooden curtains on the doorway
This way of decorating everyone is well acquainted. Bamboo tubes and oblong beads made of wood came to us from the West, where in turn came from Asia and Africa. They are associated with the cordial colonial style of the English salons of the late nineteenth century, the decadence of the twenties and the cultural revolution of the sixties, which made the Style "Ethno" one of the fundamental. Therefore, self-made garlands are considered to be self-made garlands, creatures in which the author's handwriting and his individuality are felt. Derevo and bamboo do not fade into the sun, do not accumulate static charge as, for example, synthetic tissue. They are easy to care for them - it is enough to wipe them with a cloth or walk along the surface of the vacuum cleaner. They do not cause allergies and are not collecting bacteria.
There are disadvantages. Unlike curtains, garlands can not move and move away. They are usually dismissed, allowing you to hang freely, but in this form they cling to the hair and for which you can cling. To pass and remain unnoticed will not allow the characteristic noise, which also creates some inconvenience, especially if you need silence and peace. All this with more than paying off appearance. But the noisy curtain can be collected along the edges or on the one hand, tangling with a lace to minimize discomfort. Bevel bamboo curtains on the doorway Not at all difficult. Usually they are already comustomed to the eternity, which is attached to the entrance, on the screws. The mounting place is closed with a decorative plank.
Such a decoration is suitable for entering the kitchen or living room. For a bedroom, a bathroom and toilet, it is used as an additional decoration and only if the interroom door is installed there.
Garlands from other materials
Instead of a tree, everything can be used as a material, anything - shells, buttons, glass and plastic beads. The main thing is to choose a logger. After all, it will have to withstand a serious load, and not so much from the mass of the garland itself, but from the subjects clinging for it.
Much more reliability is a homemade weaving from threads or shoelaces. As practice shows, such a macrame clings less and does not create noise that can irritate.
Install homemade curtains-hanging on the doorway will be easier if the fishing line is with all that it is suspended or weaving to attach to a horizontal rail that performs the karnis function. In order for it to cling to, on the opposite side you can drive away small nails or simply wind the fishing line or thread around the rail, told the knot. In the latter case, the holder with a round cross section is suitable.
If the top looks unattractive, it is better to close it with a decorative box or bar, which is usually used to hide the loop of the window curtains. As in the case of wood garlands and bamboo, the attachment of the eaves is carried out with the help of dowels and screws. Lovely hanging decorations can be used instead of doors, but on the background of a wooden sash, they will look no less attractive. And beads, and Macrame are perfect for the arch.
In the studio apartment, it is possible to make a partition, attaching a long cornice to the ceiling and putting it with multi-colored braided ropes to the floor, leaving the opening into human growth from the rope shorter.
Cartins and curtains
Interestingly, the word "porter" comes from the French "Porte", which is translated as the "door". Initially, this word meant the curtain, adorning the entrance to the room. This decoration was used everywhere and out of fashion only a few decades ago. But, as they say, a new one is well forgotten old.
Despite the seeming conservatism, this method of decor is used in different styles: from Baroque to Modern. However, for the interior conceived in a concise Japanese manner, sliding shutters, consisting of lamellae, or rolled curtains, while opening rise to the top.
How to arrange a doorway without a doors with curtains depending on style? For example, in a room with a massive chandelier and a wide writing desk with an old lamp, curtains from dense tissue, harmonizing the color with furniture and other elements of the internal decoration, will look good. In order not to push the heavy cloth from velvet or taffeta every time, it is better to tie it with a ribbon from the same material as the curtain.
In a spacious living room or bedroom with a large window and blonde walls, linen or cotton curtains will be appropriate, creating a feeling of lightness.
Country style is simplicity and comfort of the village house. Curtains made of coarse fabric with a simple pattern, combined with white walls and furniture made of lacquered wood. The more naturalness, the better.
The cornice for the door curtains is no different from the window. It should approach the color to the material that was finished. By design, it can be a rail hidden behind the decorative bar, but more often use a metal or wooden rod to which rings attached to the curtains are worn. The holders for the rod are mounted using dowels and screws on the wall or on the ceiling.
