Curtains-threads in the kitchen: characteristics, tips for choosing and fastening

Curtains-threads are a fashion trend that will bring lightness, originality to the kitchen space. Due to the peculiarities of appearance, such curtains do not conceal the space, do not clutter it, and therefore are suitable not only for the design of the window opening, but also for zoning.

Curtains-threads are textiles in the form of narrow (up to 2 cm wide) shreds, threads or spirals. They are made of natural or synthetic materials, can be decorated with beads, fringe and other decorative elements. Another name for such curtains is Kisei.

The countries of the East can consider their homeland tulle made of threads. Indeed, this detail will instantly bring notes of oriental mystery and romance into the interior. However, Kisei will be appropriate in any style, the main thing is to choose the right design.

The advantage of yarn curtains is their versatility. They can be used to decorate a window or doorway, and also fit into almost any interior: from classic to modern. Thanks to the variety of colors of textiles, it can both harmoniously fit into the kitchen, and become its accent detail.

Besides, Kisea can be used to divide space, for example: to separate the dining room from the kitchen or zoning in the studio apartment. Such a thread "partition", firstly, will not take up much space, and secondly, it will be quite budgetary.

Unlike the usual fabric curtains, the filament curtain does not eat up the interior of the window. Visually, it makes the kitchen more spacious and airy.Moreover, thanks to the elongated verticals, the effect of high ceilings is created, it is possible to visually push the room. This is especially valuable in small-sized housing.

It is worth noting the higher light transmission when using curtain yarns. On a hot sunny day, they will scatter light, preventing excessive heating of the room.

With a number of advantages, curtains threads are fixed quite easily. They are attached in the same way as fabric analogues. Moreover, it will be simpler to kiss Kisei than the textile version, which has numerous draperies and lambrequins. It is very simple to adjust the gauze for length - you do not need the services of a seamstress, because the threads of the desired length can be cut with scissors yourself.

Like any item, filament curtains have "cons". First of all, it is transillumination in the dark with the light on. Residents of the first floors are better to combine curtains-threads with other varieties, for example: roller or blinds. In this case, it will be possible to protect the home from prying eyes from the street.

Despite its versatility, it is not possible in every home to hang thread curtains. Most likely, they will not serve for long in families with small children or pets. The temptation is too great to start braiding threads in braids or to hunt, ride them. Kisya can also be uncomfortable if kitchen cabinets are located next to it: the handles will constantly cling to the threads.

The whole variety of curtain threads can be reduced to 2 types: from natural and artificial materials.

Depending on the raw materials used and the specifics of the execution, several varieties of products are distinguished that allow you to customize the kitchen space.

The concept of "kisei" can be used in a wider and narrower sense. We have already met with the first meaning - this is how all types of curtain threads are designated. But there is a narrower interpretation of the term - this translucent fabric is denser in the upper part (it is easier to fix the cornice) with interwoven threads, beads. Kisea can be one-color or two-color, as well as rainbow. Products with lurex have a characteristic sheen.

Novelties of such curtains - there are beads on the threads, moreover, they can be worn both orderly and randomly. Thanks to this, it seems that the curtains consist of vertically arranged beads.

By "solid" materials we mean wire, fishing lines, thin wooden elements, as well as metal, dense fabrics, and plastic. Most often, such products are used for zoning the room.

They are all the same filament curtains, but the threads are woven into ropes. Similarly, variants with beads can be interwoven.

Depending on the color of the curtains, threads there are:

• one-color (painted in one color, the palette includes up to 60 shades);
• multicolor or rainbow (include several shades, united by the principle of smooth transition or contrast).

In addition, it is worth highlighting decorative options, that is, decorated with beads, sequins, fringe, etc.

The design of curtain threads can be diverse, they should always be selected taking into account the style of the interior, its dimensions, color scheme. In a classic kitchen with wooden textures, white muslin looks harmonious.It can be supplemented with fabric curtains, matching in tone with the basic furniture of the kitchen.

In addition, in a classic interior, multi-layered threads of calm pastel shades look more attractive. As a bright accessory, you can use color pickups.

If the kitchen is made in the spirit of minimalism, has a rather restrained color scheme, then a bright-colored kisea will be an excellent solution. It is enough even single-layer threads without drapery and decor, so that the window zone attracts attention, and a “highlight” appears in the room.

For modern styles of a minimalistic direction, for a loft and hi-tech, filament curtains can be selected in combination with a translucent fabric curtain. Colors are restrained but contrasting. For example, in this case, the dark curtain literally got a new life and became harmonious thanks to the white threads.

Thanks to cross-draping, it is possible to distract attention from not too successful zones of the interior or to soften an excessively strict room (for example, as in this case).

Kiseya can be used for zoning a warm balcony and kitchen. It is much more convenient and ergonomic than a door or fabric curtains.

For rooms in an oriental style, it is better to choose multicolor or bright monochromatic options, the use of decorated analogues is acceptable. Bright and unusual (with sequins, fringe, feathers) filament curtains will be appropriate in eclectic, bohemian interiors. It is also worth hanging thread beads. This design is especially attractive on a sunny day: the light will be refracted through the glass beads and reflected with many reflections.

For windows with narrow window sills or without them at all, it is recommended to choose long curtains-threads. If the windows have a wide window sill or small children or pets live in the house, it is logical to purchase kisene to the window sill, or rather, a little shorter.

For northern or poorly lit rooms with natural light, it is better to purchase a kitten of light shades. Dark color will make the kitchen dark. On the windows facing the south or east side, on the contrary, you can hang a curtain of darker shades to darken.

It is not recommended to purchase overly decorated models in a small room. If you still like the decor, choose smaller details. Otherwise, the curtain will look colorful and tasteless.

In the kitchen with a balcony door, you can choose a filament curtain of darker, non-marking colors. In this case, it is better to drape the threads so that the exit to the balcony is relatively free and does not require the curtains to be moved away. This will help to avoid quick contamination of muslin, which will invariably happen if the balcony is actively used.

Do not give preference to too thin threads: they will “bounce” and will not help in creating a relaxed, stylish interior. Too thin fishing line is not the most durable material, so such curtains decorated with beads will not last long.

Natural silk or satin has a high cost, but quickly stretches, so there is no talk of many years of use.

Synthetic models made of polyester are more practical than natural ones. They can be machine washed, they are not confused and do not crease. Models with wooden elements, crystal or glass beads are capricious in leaving - they require more thorough cleaning. Think about whether you are willing to spend time and effort on this.

In any case, remember that Before washing, the threads are braided into 3-4 braids, after which they are erased in the delicate mode in the machine or manually. When the curtains are still wet, they hang on the window, after which the braids immediately untwist. Subject to this rule, the threads will not be confused and dry perfectly straight, smooth.

Finally, you can pick up the curtains to match other room accents, for example, combining the color of muslin with the range of countertops, a kitchen apron, and upholstery. Under orange, as well as under brown, the headset is usually chosen white or pastel kisei. Light furniture, as well as wenge-colored furniture, allow the use of rainbow or brighter kisei. Red, blue, green colors will advantageously emphasize a bright kitchen.

Curtains can decorate the interior both in a straightened and draped form. For To beautifully pick up curtains or make an original composition, you can use the following accessories:

• hair clips, which are standard rings with a rod of metal or plastic;
• pick-up brushes, which are sewn from lace, braid and other materials;
• decorative suspensions, which are fixed to the wall, so that the threads are picked up;
• flower ball made of fabric materials;
• colored ribbons or intertwined threads that can be used to tie up muslin.

Thread curtains can be attached to the cornice in several ways.

It is a tape, one side of which is sewn to the filament curtains, and special hooks are inserted into the second. These hooks are later placed in special grooves on the ledge. It is convenient to form folds and shuttlecocks on the gusset fixed in this way, tightening the tape.

This method involves cutting a wide ribbon from the lining fabric. One part of it is sewn to the kitten so that there remains a wide opening for the eaves rod. With this method of fastening, the puss moves freely and easily along the cornice.

This method allows you to quickly and without hassle remove and hang curtains, threads, however, with frequent gluing, peeling, the curtains will become worse and worse. The essence of the method is that one part of the Velcro tape is sewn to kisey, the second to the cornice or on the wall.

On the cornice rod rings are attached that are screwed into the perforations along the edge of the kisei. This design looks stylish and modern, and the curtains “walk” without a delay on the ledge.

In this method, a transparent curtain web is first sewn to the filament curtains, loops are fixed on it. Then the curtain is strung on hooks already attached to the rings.
