Take It Home: Outdoor Curtains
—Try these stylish—and funtional—drapery ideas on your patio or balcony.
The fluttering eyelet curtains at L’Avenida Hotel in Mallorca, Spain inspire us to re-think outdoor decorating. |
The interior design world is embracing the outdoors more than ever. And it's not just about weatherproof furniture anymore; it’s about decorating a patio with the same attention you give a living room. Curtains are the ultimate finishing touch. Drapery adds structure to an outdoor living space, bringing a patio a sophistication that a barbecue and lawn chairs could never achieve. Frame the surroundings of your weather-resistant sofa with curtains and it will inevitably be the seat of choice.
More than just a potent aesthetic device—nothing is more romantic than sheers billowing in the breeze—curtains can block wind and diffuse sunlight. Who knew a common interior decorating device could tame the great outdoors?
