String

String blinds (also called string curtains or thread curtains) are a light, highly decorative way to dress a window or define a space. They’re more about atmosphere and visual “airiness” than about full blackout. The design is made up of many vertical strings (textile or synthetic) that fall straight down and create a soft curtain effect: light still passes through, but the room looks more finished, stylish, and visually organized.

Most often, string curtains are used where you want gentle zoning or a decorative accent—between areas in an open-plan space, inside niches, in doorways, or near large windows as a layered solution alongside other systems (roller blinds, Day & Night, classic curtains). They look especially good in modern interiors, boho, minimalism, and even light classic styles—particularly if you choose strings with texture or a subtle sheen.

Installation is simple: the strings are attached to a top header/track, which can be mounted inside the recess, on the wall, or on the ceiling, depending on whether you’re styling a window or dividing a room. A nice bonus is how flexible they are in everyday use: you can easily move them by hand, tie them back, create soft waves, or keep them perfectly straight for a clean look.

Functionally, it’s important to be honest: string curtains provide partial privacy and soft light diffusion, but they don’t replace proper sun protection—especially in rooms where you need real dimming (bedrooms or a home cinema). That’s why they’re most commonly combined with another solution: strings for texture and mood, and roller blinds/curtains for true light control.

Another advantage is the variety. Strings come in different thicknesses and densities, in solid colors, gradients, metallic/lurex finishes, and “rain” styles. This lets you choose anything from a barely-there, delicate look to a bold interior statement.

Maintenance is generally easy, with one small nuance: to prevent tangling, the strings are usually gently tied or secured before cleaning. Often, light vacuuming on low power is enough, or delicate washing depending on the material.
