Beaded Curtains: The Resurrection Of Trends From The Past

By: David Faulkner

All fashions eventually come back. This is Barbra Streisand's firm belief, which led to her practice of never getting rid of any piece of her clothing. She thinks that fashion trends just repeat themselves over time, and hanging on to certain items of clothing will be well worth it when the garments will be all the rage again.

She is probably right in some way. Just take a look at the bell bottom pants, which have been resurrected in the late nineties, several years after its demise in the early 80s. There are also other "retro" items that are fashionable again today.

This repeating cycle in fashion does not only happen to clothes. It can also apply to home decor, such as curtains. Years ago, beaded curtains were all the craze when it came to interior decorating. Almost every homeowner had purchased beaded curtains for their home. Then just as with any other trend, the novelty wore off and beaded curtains were forgotten and replaced by other fads, at least temporarily.

Recently, beaded curtains have been making a slow but steady fashion comeback. More and more homeowners are getting interested in this unique kind of curtain made of beads hanging from strings. In fact, beaded curtains are hardly like other curtains at all. They provide minimal shade unlike drapes that can block out the light from a room. Beaded curtains also do not conceal a room from view because you can actually see right through them.

There is a special quality to beaded curtains that makes them stand out from other kinds of curtains. Besides its unique design, the beaded curtains also have a certain symbolism that makes them attractive to homeowners. When they are placed as dividers between two rooms, they create an impression that the two rooms are separate in space but not in time, because you can actually see the two rooms at the same time, although they are two very distinct rooms.

This is an almost magical concept that made beaded curtains very popular back in the old days, and it is still that same idea that makes it so appealing in today's interior decorating trends.

If you have kept your beaded curtains from years ago, then it is time to bring them back out, because it looks like beaded curtains are here to stay.
