Not many people use curtains for the outside of their homes. To most people curtains are for the inside, and however innovatively they use curtains inside the homes, very rarely are they considered for the outside.
Most of the time outdoor curtains are used only by hotels and other such places to give a totally different feel to a suite or cottage. Yet when they are used in our homes we can recreate the same feel there too.
For example take outdoor patio curtains. Patios are traditionally left open. Many times it will even have a roof, to keep the rain out, but no walls. There’s really no need for one, the understanding being that if they wanted anything more, they would build a room.
However have you ever considered how your patio will look with curtains on them. For example, you could install flimsy, white lace curtains and gather them near every pillar in your patio, and you’ve just brought some color into your plain patio. You don’t have to do anything more than just put up the curtains and tie them with a ribbon of the color of your choice to the pillar, and your home has just gotten a patio that will make it look like a Spanish hacienda.
You could even install full-fledged outdoor curtains for the patio if you live in a place where you get a lot of rain, or if the wind is very violent. However nice it is to have an outdoor patio, many a time you would appreciate a nook where you can sit out of the wind and a curtain is as good a way of providing this as any.
The kind of curtains you put up in your patio depends on you. For example, you could go with synthetic material if you feel that maintenance will be an issue although they really do not look or feel nice. You also need to get heavy material if you do not want the curtains flapping in the breeze. In the same way that curtains are used as space separators inside the home, they can also be used outside for the same reason. Having the curtains open will give a feeling of spaciousness, but drawing them will suddenly convert the same spacious patio, into a lovers nest that is warm and cozy.
