Curtains for a doorway: types, pros and cons, design

The very first curtains on a doorway appeared among people in the Stone Age (and perhaps earlier). It was a skin that covered the entrance to the cave. For some time, the very idea of ​​covering a doorway with fabric or other materials was irrelevant and was considered unnecessary or a relic of the past. This “relic” lasted the longest in villages or in the homes of “creative individuals.” Recently, a trend has emerged again - to decorate the doorway with drapes or curtains. This idea is not without meaning. Even taking into account the functionality of our homes.

How practical is this?

There are two options for using curtains for a door. The first option is that they serve as an addition: the doorway has both a door leaf (or doors) and curtains. Why do you need curtains in this case? For comfort, to make the atmosphere more intimate, to block the light, if the doors are glass, to reduce the penetration of noise. At the entrance to a private house or from the balcony - to reduce the number of insects, so that passersby look into the windows less. There are many more reasons, including “because I want it or like it.”

Doors cannot always be without curtains

The second option is when there are only curtains and no door itself. In this case, it is more a delimitation of space, although all other reasons are also present.

We weigh the pros and cons

As for the practicality of using door curtains, everyone decides for themselves. Here are a couple of notes so you can decide whether this is right for you.

• In families with children, many prefer to have doors because they dampen noise well and do not disturb the child's sleep. On the other hand, dense fabric will further absorb noise. By closing the curtain, you can also cut off the light from another room/corridor. But children love to tug on them or hide in the folds of the fabric. And one more thing: with a child in your arms, getting through doors with curtains is not very convenient, unless they themselves do not block the passage.

  
  In some cases, curtains are simply irreplaceable

• For adults, doors are not required. Especially if a person lives alone or is a couple. Only the doors to the bathroom are left in the apartment, the rest of the space is demarcated with curtains of different designs.
• A curtain instead of a door is an excellent solution if there is little space or the door is physically impossible to install. For example, the canvas can perfectly cover a built-in wardrobe - this is a budget replacement for sliding doors.
• Exit to the terrace is often made using glass doors. They are not always completely glass, but, in any case, the glazing area is large. Few people would agree to leave such a door without curtains.

The main advantages of curtains in a doorway are aesthetics, low price, and the ability to quickly replace them. By changing textiles and accessories, it is easy to change not just the color scheme, but even, to some extent, the style of the room.

Advantages and disadvantages of arched tulle

Tulle in the form of an arch does not perform any practical tasks, being only a decoration. However, its use has many advantages. The main ones are:

• Designing an opening like this is a way to let in as much natural light as possible. Indeed, in this case the rays do not encounter obstacles on their path.
• Short curtains do not prevent the flow of heat from the radiators into the surrounding space. This becomes relevant during the heating season.
• To make a curtain with an arc, you don’t need a lot of material, so sewing it will cost quite a budget.
• A lightweight curtain made from a minimal amount of textiles visually makes the living space more spacious.
• Canvases that do not reach the window sill allow it to be used as an additional work surface. This is a great solution for a small space.
• A tulle arch into the kitchen, when the room is small, with small windows facing the north side or into a well, will be almost the only possible way to decorate them.

There are few disadvantages to such curtains. Let's list the main ones:

• They perform only a decorative function and do not protect the interior space from light and views from the street.
• Batteries and pipes are left open to view.
• Due to the peculiarities of the cut and unusual shape, they are not suitable for all design trends.

Since such curtains do not cover the radiator and heating pipes, it is worth taking care of their aesthetic design.

Types of curtains in the doorway

In general, curtains are not the only name for fabrics (and not only) that cover a doorway. They also say drapes and curtains. Names in use in different regions mean the same thing. First, let's look at what materials doorway curtains are made of:

• From fabrics. The most common type with many variations.
• Fabric curtains with varying degrees of drapery, with and without lambrequins, with tiebacks on the sides at different heights and hanging freely. Can be hung on any curtain rods.

  
  Along with the usual ones, there are creative ideas for designing doorways

Japanese curtains. They differ in that it is a straight fabric with a rod inserted into the bottom to avoid wrinkles. Special guides are required along which Japanese curtains can slide without creasing or folding.

• Filament curtains. This is a new product that has a mainly decorative function. This is not fabric, in the full sense of the word, only knitted strips of different thicknesses, more like threads. Hence the name. This also includes wicker macrame curtains. Thread or beads - decorative only

There are at least six types of curtains on the doors. In addition, there are still a variety of combinations. Roman blinds can also be hung on the door. They look great in some interiors, but in order to pass through, the door Roman blind must be raised. To do this, you need to pull the chain/rope. And then lower it behind you - again pulling on another rope. How many times will you do this? There is a very high probability that, after some time, it remains raised for a long time. And it will be lowered only if increased privacy is required. Which is also, in principle, not bad.

Selecting curtains

An arched doorway is a self-sufficient element of the interior, so when choosing curtains it is important not to “disguise”, but to emphasize its shape. Therefore, it is necessary to use flexible cornices that follow the shape of the arch. Curtains for interior openings can be made from the following materials:

• various fabrics;
• bamboo;
• elements made of wood or plastic.

The following options are often used:

• Classic. A variety of materials can be used to make traditional curtains. These can be translucent fabrics - organza, tulle. Or heavy curtains - velvet, jacquard. Traditional curtains extend all the way to the floor, framing the doorway.
• Fabric lambrequins. These are multi-level curtains, located vertically and horizontally.

Advice! Lambrequins can be used in combination with classic curtains.

• Marquises. These are the so-called “French” curtains. Their characteristic feature is assembly along the entire length with the formation of transverse folds.
• Hourglass. This is a type of classic curtains that have a gather or tie in the middle of the canvas in height.

• Thread. This version of curtains can be made from a variety of materials; their peculiarity is that they are not a solid piece, but a whole series of individual threads.
• Magnetic. Recently, curtains have come into fashion, which consist of two rigid panels connected by a magnetic lock. They were created to protect premises from insects, but sometimes they are also used to decorate doorways.

Fabric

With the help of fabric curtains you can easily transform any room, giving it any mood. Light airy curtains will create the impression of a large space filled with air. Heavy curtains - emphasize the elegance of classic interiors.

The color of the curtains must be selected taking into account the color scheme of the premises. It is advisable to first purchase a small piece of material and see on site how well it fits into the interior.

Bamboo

Bamboo curtains are an environmentally friendly option for decorating a door opening. Bamboo is a durable material that is resistant to external influences, so additional processing of parts made from this material is not required. The positive properties of the material include:

• UV resistance;
• the presence of an antibacterial effect;
• ability not to accumulate dust.

Advice! To create a harmonious interior, it is recommended to “support” bamboo curtains decorating an arched doorway with some element of the decor. For example, furniture finishing, decor, etc.

Tree

Curtains made of wooden beads and cylinders attached to threads have the following advantages:

• environmental cleanliness;
• ease of care;
• attractive appearance.

Wooden elements are usually coated with clear varnish, but it is also possible to choose the option of painting the elements in the desired color. Interior curtains made of wooden beads look organic in rooms decorated in a wide variety of styles, including:

Similar decor for doorways can be made of plastic. This type of curtain is better suited for a hallway or kitchen, provided that modern and minimalist interiors are used.

Exclusive

People who value individuality and style the most can order or make their own curtains for an arched doorway according to their own sketch. To make such unique decorative elements, a wide variety of materials are used - shells, beads, buttons.

There is even a version of curtains, for the manufacture of which tubes rolled from paper are used. The prepared elements are strung on a strong fishing line and secured to a cornice that follows the shape of the arched opening.

Other handicraft options can be used to make decor. For example, knitting, various weaving techniques, etc. The main thing is to approach the matter creatively and with imagination.

So, curtains for an arch are an element that will create the impression of an isolated space in the absence of doors in the openings. To make this decor, a wide variety of materials are used, both traditional and unusual. The main thing is that the curtains emphasize the shape of the arched opening and successfully complement the interior of the room.

How to properly decorate an opening without a door with curtains

Let's talk a little about the selection of fabrics. If the aesthetic side is important to you, everything is clear - you choose from these criteria. If some practical component is required - shading, sound insulation - it is worth approaching the selection of fabric with practical standards.

You can even decorate the entrance doors with curtains

Ordinary fabrics for curtains are often called decorative. They can be smooth, textured, with different types of weave. They can be plain, embossed in the same color or with different patterns.

For darkening, there is another category - denser ones that transmit little light or cut it off almost completely. They are called “darkening” or maybe also called BlackOut. In the characteristics of such fabrics, in addition to the material from which it is made and the density of the weave, the degree of light transmission is indicated. The highest degree is 95-97% dimming. This means that such a curtain will practically exclude light from entering the room.

Select fabrics depending on what functions the curtain on the door will perform

For a greater effect of sound absorption or darkening, or so that the color of the curtains is different from different rooms, double curtains are made (example above in the photo in the center). In this case, the same opening will be decorated with red curtains on one side and beige on the other. Moreover, they do not have to be sewn around the perimeter. Two fabrics can only be sewn/joined at the top.

Curtain fabrics can be patterned

It is not necessary to use plain fabrics for door curtains. They can also have a pattern - floral print or geometry, checkered or striped. Floral curtains fit perfectly into country, shabby chic, and Provence interiors. The fabrics are usually lightweight; in addition to tiebacks, there may also be ruffle gathers.

Why spend money on doors - just remove them. Sometimes it's possible

We refuse the door

We have already written about what problems can be solved by making wide doorways in a small apartment. Today we’ll talk about cases when doors are not needed in principle, and about ways to design the entrance opening. There are at least five situations when doors can be abandoned.

1. In a kitchen with an electric stove

If the kitchen is not gasified, it does not need to be separated by a door from the corridor or room. If you observe, in most cases it is open and interferes with the passage. Are you afraid to take a radical step? Just take the door off its hinges and leave it like that for a month or two. If you smoke in the kitchen, you should not remove the door.

2. In the living room if there are separate bedrooms

When the living room is needed for a general family gathering in the evenings, a door between it and the hallway is basically not needed. As practice shows, few people use it anyway.

In the photo: a house project of 1950 sq.m (this is not the year - this is the area).
In such a mansion, having 20+ doors is excessive. The authors of the project abandoned unnecessary door panels in public space
4. When you need to save money

Then doors can only be installed in the bedroom and bathroom. A well-designed opening is better than an ugly and cheap-looking canvas.

In the photo:
arched door frames. They are on sale. There is no need to carry out any work with drywall - the platbands are installed instead of the usual opening in literally an hour.
Select the type of opening: arch

One of the classic ways to design a “door without a door” is a rounded arch. It is better to do it in a walk-through room, at the entrance to the kitchen or to a room where you do not plan to sleep every day. A properly installed arched structure looks more beautiful and will cost less than a full-fledged door. For comparison: the simplest canvas will cost no less than $250, and making an arch will cost no more than $50.

We make it convenient and appropriate

One of the most popular solutions when remodeling small apartments is a free passage between the kitchen and living room. The absence of a door to the kitchen is especially convenient if there is a dining area in the living room. Agree, squeezing through the door with plates in your hands is not the most pleasant experience.

The wall between the room and the kitchen can be removed completely, if this is allowed by the design of the house, or you can leave it, dismantle the door, door frame and expand the opening.

Do you want it simple and without frills? Leave a rectangular opening, putty and combine it with the walls of the kitchen and living room. True, this option is only suitable if both the kitchen and the living room have walls of the same texture and color. If not, you can’t do without a “frame”. It can be made of wood, as in the photo, artificial or natural stone, mirror glass.

Advice:

In a kitchen, especially a compact one, you can attach a nice shelf above the opening to display dishes, vintage kitchen utensils or decorative bottles.

Moving the opening

Sometimes an opening is requested, but the door is not located where it should be. Inconvenient placement of doors in apartments of standard houses or small openings that do not correspond to the dimensions of the furniture require decisive action. The most important issue here is coordination.

To ensure everything is legal, conduct a technical inspection. Usually it is performed by the specialists who designed your house, or by the State Unitary Enterprise MoszhilNIIproekt. Based on the survey, a technical report is issued on the possibility of moving the doorway and remodeling the apartment. After this, a project is carried out, which takes into account all the recommendations of the technical report, the overall dimensions of the future doorway, and the article numbers of the metal materials necessary to strengthen the doorway are indicated. In the future, it is the design organization that will be responsible for carrying out work to move the opening in accordance with the developed project. She must ensure that hidden work is carried out correctly.

Important:

All paper work on moving the doorway will be considered completed when the acceptance committee of the Moscow Housing Inspectorate signs an act of completed redevelopment of the apartment, after which the BTI approves the new layout and enters it into the technical passport.

Expanding the passage

When faced with the question of how to increase the size of a doorway, you first need to pay attention to the type of wall. If this is a pier, then you don’t have to worry about the consequences of expansion. The material from which the partition is made is also important. If these are blocks, they need to be strengthened with a crossbar so that they do not collapse during work or operation. One door frame profile will not be able to support heavy blocks.

If we are talking about a load-bearing wall, there is a risk of damaging the floors. Even a slight increase in the opening is done according to the project on the basis of a technical conclusion. As a rule, to strengthen the opening, you will have to lay a channel on top, strengthen it with welding or studs, and only then engage in expansion - in width or height. After receiving all permits, of course.

Hanging curtains

Curtains and draperies can successfully replace swing or sliding doors. But this solution has its pros and cons.

Decorative curtains for the doorway

If the main function of door curtains is decoration, you can choose any type of curtains. Literally any will do. It is important that they fit into the decor and match in style.

Made from soft flowing fabrics

If the choice falls on fabric curtains, you can choose any fabric that suits the interior. They may be more or less draped. If you want a lot of draperies, the fabric should be soft and flowing.

Curtains in a doorway are most often hung on ordinary tubular curtain rods. You can hang it on one side of the opening (as in the photo below on the right and left) - this is what is done most often. There is another option. It is in the center in the photo - when the cornice is located in the doorway itself - from one edge to the other.

Curtains in the doorway are hung on tubular curtain rods

Notice the photo above on the right. An interesting idea is presented here - two canvases overlap each other. Each of them will cover the doorway in width, but they are hung so that the larger half of one overlaps the other panel. The tiebacks for door curtains must always be “in use”, otherwise you simply won’t be able to get out of the folds. But the drapery looks very interesting.

Pendants made of wood, bamboo

Decorative door curtains include thread curtains and hanging curtains. The latter can be wooden or bamboo, made of beads. There can be a variety of combinations of these materials.

Such curtains have only a decorative function

It is often thought that wooden and bamboo or wooden hangings do not fit into all interiors. It is clear that they look most harmonious in a country-style setting. But they will also be very useful in a modern style. You just need to choose more “technological” options for links and add at least one addition to the interior in the same color. Moreover, this “addition” does not have to be wooden. It is enough that the color is the same. An example in the photo above right.

A curtain instead of a door to the kitchen should be resistant to dirt. And these are definitely not fabrics. Bamboo curtains would be most appropriate here. They are not necessarily brown or have graphic patterns. They can have different designs that are more reminiscent of a painting or graphic object.

Bamboo curtains for the doorway can be patterned

Thread curtains and their options

Thread curtains in a doorway look good and they won’t cost that much. Now they offer a variety of shapes and textures of threads/strands and there are more and more of them every day. Still, this is a more stylish and easier to use alternative to conventional curtains, which are often hung on entrance doors in the summer.

Another type of decorative curtains on the door is thread

We rarely see hanging curtains made of metal links. But they are the ones that best suit modern styles and minimalism. The weight of the links makes them look different, even though they are the lightest alloy. They look different (pictured below).

It would seem, well, what curtains on the door can be in a modern style... But here are examples for you

Even in a technocratic style, an iridescent curtain will look good. By the way, there are similar curtains made of beads. Beads are not necessarily pink or colored. If they are painted with mother-of-pearl, they will fit perfectly into a modern style. And if they are matte and neutral colors, they will look great in a loft.

Selection

In order for the hallway window to look harmonious in the interior, when choosing curtains you should be guided by the following principles:

• If it is necessary to make the room more open, priority is given to light translucent curtains in the form of tulle or veil;
• Textile models with vertical or horizontal stripes, stretching and expanding the space, help fill the hall with volume. An interesting option are such curtains for the hallway in brown and beige;

• When decorating the interior of a hallway, in which there is a minimum of free space, you should choose simple curtains without elaborate ornaments and decor;
• For shaded rooms, light-transmitting models are the best option;
• If the hallway windows face the sunny side, it is better to choose lined curtains that will not fade in the bright sun.

As for materials, the choice here is only up to the owners, since both natural and synthetic fabrics are equally appropriate in the hallway. Of course, textile models look more impressive, the design of which is chosen for a specific window opening. For example, when decorating windows of the correct shape with curtains, you can emphasize the contours by placing the curtains inside the opening. At the same time, you should not choose the traditional option in the form of canvases located on the sides, since solid curtains look impressive in such a room (if desired, one side can be tied with tiebacks).

Curtains for an interior arch

Doors are not placed in some openings, but the portal itself remains. It can have sharp corners or rounded at the top. The shape of the opening has little effect on the choice of curtains. It's more about the overall style of the interior. When are curtains needed? If we see two openings of different sizes, heights or shapes (photo below right). In this case, we remove the dissonance.

Curtains are usually used instead of interior doors if privacy for the room is not very important

Zoning is also emphasized with the help of curtains. Modern interiors are increasingly being designed as a single space. In this case, the demarcation makes the room more “homey”. Not everyone likes to live in a “theater” - coziness and adding draperies in the doorway.

Thick curtains between rooms will muffle sounds a little. Curtains, of course, cannot replace doors, but they cannot be compared in terms of installation complexity and price. In addition, doors are not always easy to install. If the door portal starts immediately from the wall, you will struggle with installing the door. This is a general problem with arches - besides the fact that the doors will be made to order at a special price, the installation will also cost a pretty penny.

The whole difficulty is to figure out what the curtains will look like

The photo above shows different types of draperies on arches. What should you consider when choosing the type of drapery? Of course, the height and width of the arched opening. The option on the left - with pompous drapery - is suitable only for very high ceilings. At a standard height, you won’t be able to arrange the folds this way. The option on the right is more suitable for low openings. And the cent is interesting because the opposite folds are sewn. But this is only for those curtains that are stationary and cannot move along the cornice. You shouldn’t do curtains between rooms like this - it’s very impractical - you need to move the fabric back every time. But you can completely cover the entrance to the dressing room.

Conclusion

Semicircular openings themselves are a decorative element, and if they are designed correctly, the appearance of the room will improve many times over. Arched blinds can open and close like a fan; when folded, they are almost invisible. Semicircular windows do not have to be completely closed; you can install a cornice only on the rectangular part. In this case, you won’t have to rack your brains about how to sew curtains; even a schoolgirl can handle this kind of work.

If all the openings in your house are made in the form of a rectangle, you can buy or sew arched curtains. They will hide the top of the window and create the impression of an unusually shaped opening. Open arched blinds create the atmosphere of a medieval castle. The design of arched windows can be entrusted to a professional designer, but it is better to use your imagination and create the interior you dreamed of.

We arrange access to a terrace or balcony

As mentioned above, doors to the terrace often have a very large glazing area. Some have only a frame made of wood, metal or plastic, the rest is glass. And not everyone has it mirrored or tinted. In this case, to maintain privacy, the glass must be covered with something. Usually this is one of the types of curtains.

Folds, folds, folds - this is what you often see at the doors to the terrace

Blackout fabrics will come in handy, although this is not necessary. Simply with their help you can make it “almost night” even during a bright day. What are the features? Here, of course, you can organize tiebacks (on racks/beams in the glazing), but more often they simply make free-falling large folds that move to the side. And their height is from floor to ceiling. And no lambrequins or other pomp, unless the style of the room requires it.

As an alternative to folds, you can consider Japanese curtains. There are no coattails here, just a flat canvas.

Japanese curtains on the terrace door: a more modern and stylish option

Japanese curtains require special guides that are attached to the ceiling. The canvases move along these guides. A metal or wooden rod is sewn into the lower part of the panels, which prevents the formation of folds. Here, in fact, is the entire device. These curtains have a more formal look and are suitable for modern, laconic designs.

Arched blinds

Often people prefer to install arched blinds on their windows instead of curtains. It is most convenient to purchase a model that is mounted on a frame and opens like a fan. Pleated folds look good on a curtained window and do not spoil the appearance of the room when the glass is open.

The design uses 2 aluminum profiles, with fabric stretched between them. During the day, you open the window, and the curtains for arched windows turn into small bundles of fabric about 5 cm in size. You can choose arched blinds for the entire opening or combine them with other curtains. The design of an arched window using pleating looks stylish and laconic.

Cornices for doorways

To decorate a doorway without a door with curtains, use ordinary cornices. There are no special features here. Just select the length of the crossbar and the type of cornice itself. It does not have to be tubular, but these are the ones that are used most often.

The simplest, most popular and inexpensive solution is tubular cornices

It’s more difficult if you want to hang curtains on opening doors, in particular on entrance doors. In this case, the curtain must move with the door or be hung on the side opposite to the direction the door opens. There are several types of similar door cornices. Movable, as in the photo below. One side of them is fixed on the wall next to the door or on the door frame, the second - on the door leaf. When opening and closing, the cornice rotates along with the door.

Movable curtain rods for door curtains are the most functional

For French doors with large glazing, there are short curtain holders. They are mounted directly on the sash above the glass. They are only a few centimeters away from the door leaf. The bad thing is that you can’t make large folds here, only small gathering.

Classic and Magnetic Curtain Holders for French Doors (Large Glass)

In order not to spoil the door leaf, there are magnetic holders for curtains (photo on the right). You glue magnets to the canvas, and the tubular cornice has metal plates. The curtain is small in size, weighs little and holds well thanks to magnets. You can also use a magnetic curtain rod to hang curtains on a glass door. I mean, no frame at all - just glass. Attach the magnets to the glass with glue. Here is the solution to the problem.

Fashionable design

Among the fashionable new items this season, there are a lot of options that can be used to decorate the arch in the hallway. In principle, any model of curtains can be used for decoration. However, designers recommend considering the following:

• Translucent curtain models will turn the room into a spacious and free space.
• For narrow corridors, you should choose curtains with a vertical pattern, which is a fashion trend of the new season. The decor shown in the photo will visually increase the height of the ceiling.

• For a small hallway, it is recommended to purchase simple curtains without excessive decoration.
• If the corridor is dark, then it is better to use light-colored curtains on the arched opening.

Materials and colors

Curtains or curtains for doorways are often attached to the structure with special magnets. One of the common materials for door curtains is mosquito net, only in a more modern style. This curtain is convenient and practical; it can be transparent, translucent or thickened. The design style is suitable for any type of design.

You can choose a mesh curtain by color or pattern: manufacturers quickly respond to the needs of a wide audience, so the range of door curtains is constantly updated. But more often on sale you can find curtains and curtains with more universal shades and textures.

For example, there are options for “wooden” curtains for doorways. The shades of such curtains are indeed very reminiscent of a “living” texture; there are also variations on this theme - curtains made of glass, plastic, silicone, sequins, shells or beads. Many models of such curtains can be made manually - the elements are simply placed on a chain so that they can then be conveniently hung over the opening.

The choice of material for decorating doorways largely depends on the characteristics of the room and its design. Magnetic curtains made of fabrics in delicate shades will fill the room with warmth and comfort. Such curtains are most suitable for country houses to beautifully decorate terraces, loggias, balconies, and verandas. For country houses, any textile is suitable (both less and more dense), with fastening to cornices, to rings, to magnets to the box.

If the curtains have a purely aesthetic function, then you can look at curtains with garlands, plates, glass inclusions, with bamboo and wooden slats, with metal beads. The color design of curtains for doorways largely depends on the surrounding environment. It is not necessary to combine white curtains on the windows with snow-white curtains on the doorways - these can be white stripes or white geometric patterns on the curtains, and the main shade can be any color.

Also, do not overload the room with monochromatic or, conversely, too bright colors of curtains and bedspreads. Everything should be harmoniously combined, combined, the color transition should be smooth and natural.

Varieties

Stylish interior design today comes down to the following varieties:

• retro style;
• country style;
• eastern outline;
• ethnic motives.

Within these directions, you can always expand the boundaries of interior transitions. The main thing is that the curtains or curtains always meet the basic requirements: they remain durable and practical for a long time, and do not interfere with movement.

Today, customers are offered the widest range of these home design accessories.

• lambrequins (multi-level curtains, usually with a complex configuration, having overlaps, lines in different directions).
