A divider without walls
A string curtain is the lightest way to zone a room. The space behind it never disappears completely, but the eye reads it as separate – a dining corner in an open-plan flat, a waiting area in a café, the back of a shop counter. People simply walk through, and the room keeps its light and airflow, which matters in Antalya’s warm months. If softening daylight at a window is the main goal, sheer curtains are the better choice.
Where they work well
- Cafés and restaurants: semi-open screens between table groups, or a soft cover for the kitchen or service passage – see blinds for restaurants and cafés.
- Shops: a backdrop for the window display, a fitting-room entrance, or a screen in front of the stockroom door, alongside our blinds for shops and showrooms.
- Homes: between an open kitchen and the living room, in an entrance hall, or as a playful corner in a children’s room.
Colour and texture
Choose a single colour, a two-tone gradient, or threads with a metallic or beaded finish. A shade close to your walls makes a calm, almost invisible divider; a contrasting colour turns it into a feature. Fine threads change a lot in different light, so we suggest looking at the samples in daylight before deciding.
Measuring and fitting
The curtain hangs from a track or pole fixed to the ceiling or above the doorway and is cut to length on site. Finishing it just above the floor stops the threads from dragging and tangling. In busy commercial spaces we fix the track into solid structure so it copes with constant traffic. To measure an opening yourself beforehand, see how to measure windows for blinds and curtains.
Best suited for
- Zoning cafés and restaurants
- Shop window backdrops and fitting rooms
- Separating open-plan living areas at home
