A Bamboo Door Curtain is Right for You

Add an eastern touch and an exotic feel to any area of the home with a bamboo door curtain. Unlike conventional door curtains, these permeable doors are not intended to cover the door, but add a bit of privacy and an outstanding adornment to the home office, closet, play, spare, or laundry room, or any open screened doorway. Allowing fresh air to flow constantly, a soft rain like sound is produced as an effect of the movement of the individual strands against each other. When privacy is not the most important concern, these interesting curtains can be a unique choice.

Generally made of bamboo beads strung together with wire, the number of strands needed to create the curtain will vary depending on the manufacturer but will usually consist of eighty to one hundred and forty strands. There are many companies that produce a variety of standard or custom painted designs that will add a one of a kind personalization that will suit any taste. The beads of the curtain are hundreds of small, hollow pieces that are hung and painted by hand. Painting each bamboo segment individually is time consuming and a great deal of skill and patience is required.

With the original functionality being preventing insects from entering the home, the bamboo curtain has become a visually pleasing home décor item that Feng Shui principles believe will elevate or soften the mood in the environment of the home, very similar to the effects of a wind chime. Bamboo is a sturdy and resilient material that resists shrinkage and swelling. A sociable person that enjoys the regular comings and goings of other people find a certain amount of freeness in a door that does not need to be opened, and unlike the typical wooden doors, is reasonably easy to install.
