When we talk about bamboo curtains, there are two types. One popular type is a curtain with bamboo tree images on them and the other is actual curtains made from bamboo material. Many people love to get vinyl curtains with these trees on them as shower curtains. This gives the bathroom a warm island feeling. If you are a nature person you will love the feeling real bamboo. These wooden curtains can give a room a little bit of a tropical atmosphere. The great thing about bamboo besides the treelike appearance is its weight. Because these are only stalks of certain plants they are hollow in the center making them extremely lightweight. This natural material is popular for its brown wooden look, durability and low cost compared to real wood. It is used for making all types of furniture as well as window curtains. Bamboo is processed in a variety of ways to give you various selections of curtains for your windows.
One type that we are most familiar with is raw bamboo in its actual state. It is cut into small sectional pieces connected with beads and lined up with string. They are then put together along strong canvas straps to form a window cover or a doorway divider. They are very stylish especially if you like Asian style. If you are a colorful person don’t worry because you can get them in different colors besides brown or black. Dark cherry colored bamboo is another very attractive color one can use for a closet door way. You can also find them with many types of hand painted designs. There are spaces between every strand which means you can still see through them or get more sunlight with just enough shade. Many who have bought this put a curtain underneath for optimal privacy and the used the bamboo only for décor.
Another more formal bamboo curtain is the grommet top. This is made by very processed bamboo which is turned into almost a sheer fabric and is hung using any curtain pole or rod through the eyelets. It will give you plenty of sunlight and just enough privacy. These are commonly found in brown and black for a modern look. Fantastic for light window treatments, they will filter sunlight and make a room appear a lot more spacious. Many people don’t want to cover their sliding doors but these curtains would be “barely there” and make your home a lot more comfortable. You can use two panels for wide widows or door frames.
