CLOSET CURTAINS



Using closet curtains is a good idea for several reasons. Of course, for interior decorators, those with innate creative flair, or for those people who just have eccentric and unconventional taste, removing those sliding closet doors and replacing them with closet curtains is simply a way of expressing style. If you have children though, replacing sliding closet doors with closet curtains is a safety consideration. You will be free from worrying about your child hitting his head on the doors, getting their hands stuck in between the doors or worse, getting trapped inside without you realizing it. It will also be a lot easier to search for stuff inside the closet because unlike sliding doors, you will have complete and unobstructed access to your entire closet when the curtains are opened.



Outside of these, changing to closet curtains will remove the possibility of having those doors get stuck in the railings and you having to replace them, or having to hire someone to get them unstuck (if you can't do it yourself). There are those homeowners, however, who find that changing to closet curtains is a bit tacky. But there are tons of solutions available to make sure that the end result of this change is not done in bad taste.

In general, closet curtains are easy to install. Use flat sheets and hang them using a grommet gun, grommets, whatever hooks you prefer and an expandable curtain rod. Voila, you have an instant closet cover! Some prefer to use shower curtains but that's all up to the end user. You should make sure, though, that the size is just perfect for the space. It should drape fully to the floor and not hang midway or even part of the way. That would be nasty. Choosing the design on the sheet or shower curtain is purely subjective.

There are millions of choices out there. You can even make several closet curtains and just interchange them depending on your mood, your favorite color choices, the general décor of your room or even the season. Your theme can be romantic, contemporary, eclectic, hippie, shabby chic, nature or zen-inspired. The possibilities are endless. This can definitely be one area you can use to continuously update the look of your room. No need to consult professional decorators! And they're definitely a cheap makeover option. Plus, if you are more or less sold on the idea of closet curtains, you may opt to use a more permanent rod and drill them directly on the wall. This will be safer and sturdier in the end.
