Add a Touch of Elegance to Your Office With String Curtains

If classical, ‘standard’ interior design solutions are not enough for transforming your office into an attractive, original place, then maybe string curtains are the ideal accessory for you!

Before deciding to install a set of string curtains in your office, here are a few things to consider:

1. What type of business are you in?

String curtains are an accessory with an ‘attitude’. Unlike classical heavy or sheer drapes, which can be installed almost anywhere, string curtains tend to make a rather original statement. Even the most classical models – made from soft materials in pastel colors – have an exotic aura that will make a room  special and stylish. That’s why you have to think carefully before purchasing such a decoration for your office. Be aware that it will affect the atmosphere of your working place, making it more elegant and adding a personal touch. For some businesses, this may be extremely beneficial, while for others (like banks and other official institutions) it can look inappropriate.

2. What is the color scheme of your office?

Colors have the power of affecting our emotions. When choosing the color of your office string curtains, make sure they match the overall color palette… and don’t forget that a wisely chosen color will have a positive effect on your customers’ mood! The same can be said about the fabric – soft materials like cotton, silk or polyester look more delicate than leather, wool or sparkling textiles. Depending on your purpose, choose carefully the fabric and the color. Keep in mind that light pastel colors bring about peace and serenity. Cool colors have the ability of refreshing an interior and your state of mind. Dark or bold colors (red, yellow, orange, black, dark blue or brown) are an attention catcher, harmonizing with white walls and a minimalist design.

3. Where you want to install the curtains?

The most obvious place for a set of curtains is the window. However, don’t forget that string curtains have many other uses:  they are also practical and versatile space separators, stylish walls decorations and smart concealers for unappealing areas like shelves or closets. You can easily apply these ideas to your office, depending on your particular needs. For example, you can divide a large room into an ‘office’ and a ‘conference room’, or maybe separate the ‘official space’ from the ‘personal space’. If you want to make your office classy and unique, but you can’t afford buying expensive paintings or sculptures, create a wall decoration all by yourself by mixing several colors (and maybe textures) of string curtains.

4. What is your available budget?

The quality of these curtains depends on two things: the fabric and the number of strings per inch. These factors also determine the price. Fortunately, you can find many interesting offers on the online market. There are many wholesale and retails providers, not to mention the numerous available models! You can buy string curtains with as little as $30-40, and (depending on their quality) the cost can reach hundreds of dollars.

Lastly, don’t forget to measure the area where you want to install your curtains. Make sure that the length and the wideness or the purchased model fit your window, door or wall. Additional alterations of the product usually increase the overall cost.
