Natural and painted finishes
Natural wood suits warm, rustic rooms, while painted beads suit colourful or children's spaces. Choose smooth sanded beads and strong cord so strings do not snag or break.
Door and window uses
Wooden bead curtains hang in doorways as dividers, while slat curtains cover windows and balconies. They give privacy while allowing air, but they are not insect or sound barriers.
Hanging and cleaning
Hang from a strong rail or hooks into solid material, since wooden strings are heavy. Dust with a soft cloth and wipe gently with a damp cloth where needed.
Humidity and insects
Damp air can warp or mould untreated wood, so keep them dry and treat with a protective coating. Check for woodworm in older pieces. Avoid wet areas.
Care
Re-string loose beads, store dry and keep strings untangled. Fitting should be done by a trained fixer, and the window frame, wall and fixing points checked for strength first.
Before you decide
Choose strong cord and smooth finishes, fix to solid material and keep wood dry. 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. Visit the shop in person, hold the sample against the actual window and ask how long delivery and fitting will take before you pay a deposit. 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.
