Trick or treat?
It’s the scariest time of the year when five-foot ghosts and goblins roam the streets in search of a sugar fix that will keep them up past their usual bedtime.
Have you ever thought about other ways curtains can be used beyond just covering your windows? From room divider curtains to full wall curtains and more, find out just how versatile curtains can be! We’ll take you through how curtains can divide or partition off rooms, hide messy storage areas, soften room acoustics, and even add a touch of hotel luxury to your space.
1. Make a Flexible Floorplan
Separate open-plan living areas or kids’ rooms with a curtain on a ceiling track.
Sometimes adding a room divider curtain makes more sense than a wall for open-plan living spaces – especially when you can’t make structural changes to your home. If you want to use one room in different ways, a room dividing curtain easily divvies it up into separate areas.
It’s a flexible and more affordable way to create room zones without building walls. Simply pull them across when you want to screen an area off. Whether you want to split up a spacious living room, master bedroom, kids’ bedroom, or studio apartment, curtains are an excellent choice.
Some of the best room dividing curtain options we recommend for partitioning rooms include:
- Thick sheers for living/dining room separation
- Textured linen-blend curtains for a bedroom nook in a studio
- Privacy blockout curtains for kids’ shared rooms
2. Conceal Your Storage Areas
Conceal your open shelves, walk-in-robe, messy desk, or storage areas for a tidier look.
Keep clutter hidden away easily. Curtains are a fantastic way to hide your storage behind fabric “walls” or “doors”. Use full wall curtains to conceal a walk-in or open robe, messy shelves, storage areas, busy corners, or even exposed areas under your staircase. You’ll get the added benefits of extra insulation and sound-softening in echoey spaces, too.
3. Partition Off Your Work or Creative Space
Keep your work and creative areas separate from the rest of your home with room dividing curtains. If your work-from-home setup or artist workshop is in a living area, you can easily screen it off when you finish for the day, or when visitors are coming over. It’s a simple way to create visual boundaries and make the space feel calmer and more organised.
Section off a home office, reading corner, or hobby area within a larger room.
4. Wall coverings for hotel-style luxury
Adding custom-made, full wall curtains (even on walls without windows) creates a beautiful design statement. Wall-to-wall curtains add texture and softness, help dampen sound, improve insulation, and can even make rooms feel taller or more spacious.
Use curtains to cover an unattractive wall or add plush hotel-style texture to a room.
5. Decorative doorway framing
Cosy up your entryway by framing it with curtains.
Using curtains as doors adds a soft, decorative touch to open doorways, while giving you the chance to introduce a pop of colour, texture, or pattern and bring more personality into your home.
Curtains for internal doors and windows can also be a practical choice. They help reduce noise and draughts between hallways and living areas, create an easy pass-through for frequently used openings, and work well for linen cupboards or laundry entries where a traditional door feels awkward or takes up too much space.
