The window in the room is one of the most important parts of the interior, because with it you can visually change the room - expand or narrow.

The window is also the main source of lighting during the daytime, with which you can brighten the room or create twilight.

But whatever design is created, it is important that the window not only illuminates, but also looks beautiful.

This is probably why many choose filament curtains, their originality and aesthetics are perfect for any interior, and a wide variety of curtains will allow you to choose them for any design.

Variety of filament curtains

Curtains come in a wide variety of looks, but the main difference between them that separates these beautiful filament curtains is what material they are made from.

Kiseya filament curtains are made from synthetic or cotton threads, decorated with linen bindings or embroidered ornaments.

Also, curtains are decorated with a combination of ordinary threads with lurex and glass beads, or other small details.

Kisei curtains are very convenient to fix, without fear that they can be damaged, since the upper part is made from dense fibers. And their appearance resembles a small decorative waterfall, which gives the room an eloquent look.

Curtains decorated with beads have an unusual look that you can create yourself using decorative threads and the necessary decorating elements. Beads can be located both evenly along the curtain, and at random.

The beautiful design of filament curtains simply catches the eye, especially when the light falls on them. Decorative elements are full of curious highlights, and their movement from the street wind creates a symphony of reflections and colors.

Rope curtains have dense and thick threads, paired together in wide flat bundles. Curtains are equipped with an adjustment mechanism, which allows them to be used instead of vertical blinds.

Such curtains are made from synthetic polyester fibers and artificial viscose silk, and decorated with lurex, rhinestones and beads.

Where to hang filament curtains?

A large variety of filament curtains allows you to pick them up in any room and any interior. They also perfectly zone the room, especially when you need to isolate a small corner, decorate and fill the space.

For example, when the kitchen is combined with a balcony, you can decorate with filament curtains, and at the same time separate the doorway and the window that separates the balcony from the kitchen.

Or you can hang it at the entrance to the kitchen, this method is especially relevant when there are no doors, then the curtains will very unobtrusively and aesthetically separate the kitchen from the whole house.

After hanging the filament curtains in the kitchen, let's move on to the living room. There is usually a lot of space in this room, where you can also use the unique ability of filament curtains - to zone the room.

For example, when you need to separate the dining area or a small library with a desk. Also, at any time, the curtains can be removed, connecting all corners of the living room into one.

When decorating windows, the best option would be to use muslin curtains, their discreet look is great for living rooms. Tying up such curtains, you can fill the room with bright daylight, and at the same time, the window will not seem bare.

Filament curtains in the interior of the bedroom are especially relevant, since dense threads located close to each other block out excess light that can interfere with normal rest, and fresh air freely passes through curls, which favorably affects sound sleep.

Also, you can make an excellent canopy from filament curtains, which will add a romantic atmosphere to the bedroom of a married couple.

How to care?

Filament curtains, despite their fragile appearance, will have to be cleaned less often than ordinary ones. Since many of them are protected by a special coating from dirt, such curtains are especially relevant in the kitchen. But still, they cannot be perfectly clean forever, and over time they will need to be cleaned.

The easiest way to do this is to take it to the dry cleaners. There, professionals know how to deal with different types of fabrics. At home, you can wash the curtains in a washing machine, only without wringing, and only those curtains that are not decorated with small items - beads, beads.

To prevent the threads from intertwining during washing, you need to tie them with laces into small curls and roll them tightly. If the curtains are decorated with a large number of decorating elements, then it would be better to wash them in soapy water without squeezing so as not to damage them.

Curtains, mostly made of beads, are best simply wiped with a damp cloth.

Kisei is a special fabric consisting of separate, freely hanging threads, fixed to each other only in the upper part. Air circulates through it completely freely, so in the East, in a hot and stuffy climate, it has been used to decorate windows and doorways for more than one hundred years. Despite the transparent airy structure, filament curtains are quite capable of protecting the room from the scorching sun, creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere in the interior. They are suitable for both small and spacious rooms and have recently been in high demand.

Kisei varieties

Filament curtains are not only very beautiful and original, but also comfortable and practical. Thanks to a huge variety of models and colors, they organically fit into any interior styles and go well with other types of window decor.

On sale, you can most often find curtains made of silk, cotton or chenille threads made in Germany, Italy, India, Turkey and China: curtains with and without pendants, plain and colored, made of thick or thin threads and very different textures. It could be:

  • ordinary muslin;
  • muslin spiral;
  • noodles;
  • rain;
  • tape curtains;
  • Kisei with Lurex;
  • with decorative solid inclusions;
  • butterfly muslin (with textile inserts: butterflies, leaves, flowers, hearts);
  • Kisei feathers (grass).

Plain plain thin muslin

Due to the relatively inexpensive cost, plain muslin is considered the most popular among filament curtains. It almost does not protect from the sun, but like a transparent organza or tulle, it gently scatters light and refreshes the interior. It harmoniously fits into any interior styles, and most often it is used as a curtain or a light dividing curtain for space zoning. In order to shade the room, such curtains are sometimes hung in 2-3 rows.


Thin muslin spiral

Kisei made of threads twisted in a spiral looks very decorative. Thin and matte curtains are perfect for gentle "rustic" interiors: American country, French Provence, English shabby chic. Thick, glossy threads shimmering in the sun fit perfectly into oriental (Arabic) interiors.


Curtains noodles with beads

Curtains of this type consist of wide and flat threads of complex weaving. In their shape, they resemble noodles (in contrast to the threads of ordinary muslin, which in shape can be compared more with spaghetti). Due to their thick and dense texture, they fall like a dense wall from the eaves and shade the room well, so noodle curtains in the interior are often used as an alternative to traditional curtains.


Curtains rain

This kind of kisei consists of thin ropes, about 1 mm in diameter, with small inclusions of transparent plastic threads woven into them. It seems that the curtains are splashed with small drops of rain or morning dew. Rain curtains in the interior look very fresh, spring-like and bring light carefree notes to it.


Curtains from textile ribbons

Tape curtains (pendants) can also be considered one of the varieties of muslin. They consist of individual textile strips or satin ribbons for needlework, plain or embellished with beads, bugles or sequins, and serve a decorative rather than a practical function. You will hardly find such products in mass sale. Basically, they are sewn on their own, according to their own design, or ordered from craftswomen-needlewomen.

On rope curtains with solid decorative inserts, or, as they are colloquially called curtains with pendants, bugles, beads, imitation pearls, sequins, beads, plastic accessories in the form of flowers and butterflies are strung randomly or in a certain sequence. They look best in an environment decorated in glamorous styles or a modern style that does not oblige strict adherence to all the canons of decoration, such as eclecticism, fusion and kitsch.

For safety reasons, curtains with beads and any other solid decorative inclusions are not recommended to be hung in a house where there are children under the age of three or four years.


Rope curtains with lurex are muslin, intertwined with thin gold or silver metallized (lurex) threads. Under artificial lighting, they glare and shimmer very beautifully and give the atmosphere a sophisticated glamorous touch.

Recently, muslin rainbow with fluffy pompoms has become especially fashionable, used mainly in children's rooms and in living rooms made in the eclectic style (mixing different directions).


Kisei butterflies with textile inserts

Rope curtains with textile inserts in the form of butterflies, flowers, hearts resemble delicate colored tulle. But if you take a closer look at them, the difference becomes obvious: textile elements are placed not on a continuous canvas, but on thin individual threads. Butterfly Kisei goes well with thick curtains and very often, paired with them, replaces traditional curtains. Since these curtains are made of woven threads, they cannot be passed through and are not suitable for doorways.


Threads with feathers

Rope curtains with feathers or, as they are also called - grass, are also very diverse. They can be both incredibly airy, decorated with thin feather threads, and dense, reminiscent of a plush theater curtain, matte or with lurex, plain and iridescent. Kisei spiral can also be decorated with feathers. Such curtains fit perfectly into romantic feminine interiors and are most often used for a bedroom or a nursery, the mistress of which is a teenage girl.
