Door and room divider uses
Bead curtains hang in doorways to separate rooms, soften an entrance or add privacy. They let air and light pass, suit kitchens and shops, and make good dividers in open-plan spaces. They are not for sound or insect control.
Hanging methods
Hang from a top rail, hooks or a rod with a sturdy fixing, since strings are heavy. Measure the opening and allow strands to just clear the floor. Fix into solid material.
Noise and cleaning
Glass and plastic beads rattle when moved, wooden beads click softly. Dust with a cloth or wash plastic strands. Untangle gently after storage.
Colours and styles
Choose natural tones for a calm look and bright mixes for a playful space. Match to door frames and wall colours.
Safety and fitting
Keep glass strings out of reach of young children, and check fixings regularly. Fitting should be done by a trained fixer, and the window frame, wall and fixing points checked for strength first.
Before you decide
Match the bead material to the use, fix strongly and expect some noise. Ask the seller for a fabric or product sample, confirm the width, material and colour fastness in writing and agree a return policy before paying. Measure the window or opening twice, order a small sample or a single panel first if the job is large, compare at least two quotes on the same specification of fabric, hardware and fitting, and keep the invoice and warranty card. Confirm delivery and fitting dates in writing, check the finished work in daylight and at night, and ask the supplier what happens if the colour or size differs from the sample. Prices change with fabric costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
