Kisei selection
In order to choose high-quality curtains made of threads, you must first of all pay attention to the material: it must be durable and at the same time pleasant to the touch.
Before buying, you need to measure the length of the threads, first determine the required height from floor to ceiling. In extreme cases, the threads can be cut. It is important that after trimming the ends of the muslin are not frayed, but retain their original appearance.
How to care
To wash the threads, they must first be braided and placed in a laundry bag. Use the delicate wash cycle.
After the kisei has been washed, it must be hung in place, the braids untied and the threads straightened with your hands. You don't need to iron the threads.
How to make Kisei with your own hands
Thread curtains are relatively inexpensive, but it’s not at all difficult to make them yourself. The advantage here is that you create the design of the curtains yourself: choose the material, color, size and decorate the product to your taste and for a certain interior.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Pick up threads, a bar and the appropriate decor (beads, rhinestones, beads, etc.). You can use fishing line instead of threads if you need to make curtains that consist entirely of solid fittings.
- Measure the width of the window or the space where you want to hang future curtains. It should match the width of the base.
- Now you need to decide on the length of the threads. To do this, measure the length from the eaves to the floor and add two strip widths. Multiply by 2 and add a few centimeters in case of error. Cut threads.
- Next, fold the threads into two equal parts and make a loop at the fold in order to thread the bar into it. Tighten the loop and fix with textile glue. Threads for future curtains should be at a distance of up to 5 mm from each other.
- In order to hide the bar, you need to glue it with a strip of fabric that matches the color.
- Decorate the threads with various decorative objects (optional).
- Attach the bar to the right place and cut the ends of the muslin to the desired length.
Application in the interior
Curtains made of threads in the interior are widely used. They can decorate the living room, bedroom and kitchen. In order for filament curtains to harmoniously fit into the interior, you should pay attention to their style, color, material and density.
Living room
In the living room, elegant threads with lurex, glass beads, beads or sequins will look very advantageous. In addition, the lower edge of the kisei can be uneven, wavy, beveled, or any other shape. Thus, the living room is exactly the place that can be decorated with the most original styles of filament curtains.
Kitchen
In the kitchen room, filament curtains up to the window sill, mostly in light shades, will look great. You can also use them as a partition between the dining room and the kitchen.
For kitchen curtains, it is better to choose a dense synthetic material that will not absorb odors.
Bedroom
For the bedroom, a transparent flowing muslin without solid fittings is best suited, since it is she who gives lightness to the space. As in other cases, such curtains can decorate a window or separate the bed area from the rest of the area.
Thus, curtains made of threads perfectly complement any modern interior style. For hi-tech style, metallic threads or small chains are perfect.
If you decorate a room in a minimalist style, then you should give preference to simple plain threads, mostly white or black. Natural filament curtains made of cotton and linen decorate the room in eco-style.
