Features and advantages

The threads of the muslin protect from the sun’s rays and the quality of this protection depends on the density, which can be increased by layering the muslin. The curtains are fixed to the cornice with any type of fastener (eyelets, hooks, loops). They are presented in a wide range of colors and different types on the market, so they will suit any room.

The advantages of muslin include:

• Widely used in the interior of the room (decoration of walls, partitions, beds, windows).
• Fabric ones are machine washable, do not require drying and ironing (when washing, they need to be tied with a string so that the loose ends do not come out, or washed in a laundry bag).
• They let air through better (than ordinary curtains).

Thread curtains are often used not as tulle, but as a transparent, see-through wall that divides the room into functional zones. For example, to divide the space in a studio apartment, in the living room, to separate the workplace from the bed in the bedroom, etc. This technique has long been used in the interiors of cafes and shopping centers to create the effect of privacy.

To create an unusual look, you can make layers of different lengths with your own hands, for this you need to trim the threads at different levels (they do not unravel or crumble, but it is better to solder the ends).

The photo shows the optimal and economical zoning option. In the interior, white muslin separates the bedroom from the living room in a modern studio apartment.

The advantage of thread curtains in the interior is that they are combined with fabric of different density and texture. For example, muslin can act as tulle and at the same time be combined with curtains or roller blinds.

You can independently change the design of thread curtains by stringing beads or pearls, stones, sequins in any order, or to create an ornament. They can be braided, tied into a bun, decorated with hairpins and holders.

The advantage of thread curtains is that they can be combined with each other and attached in any way, showing your imagination.

The color of the thread curtains should match the tones of the room’s interior, match the color of the flooring, walls or furniture. If the room is done in a neutral color, then the emphasis can be placed on gradient threads with a gradual or abrupt color transition.
