Outdoor Curtains with Hanging Wire

Outdoor curtains extend living spaces beyond four walls by defining and enhancing patios, porches, and pool areas with style and functionality. These specialized drapes are crafted from weather-resistant fabrics like Sunbrella or solution-dyed polyester that withstand sun exposure, moisture, and temperature fluctuations without fading or mildewing. Outdoor curtains serve multiple purposes—providing shade during hot summer days, creating privacy screens from neighbors, and adding softness to hard architectural surfaces. Many feature weighted hems or tie-backs to secure them against breezes, with options for both stationary and retractable installations. The best outdoor curtains incorporate UV protection and water-repellent treatments for extended durability in harsh conditions. Available in solid colors, stripes, or subtle patterns, they can coordinate with existing outdoor furniture or serve as striking focal points. These curtains transform ordinary outdoor structures into luxurious extensions of interior living spaces, offering protection from sun and wind while maintaining open-air enjoyment. Whether framing a pergola, enclosing a porch, or dividing poolside areas, outdoor curtains blend practical shelter with aesthetic appeal.

Interiors

After months of wanting to replace our broken (and ugly) bi-fold closet doors, we finally just removed them altogether. Then, for another month or so, we sat on ideas of how to cover them while we went a little nuts looking at the closet’s contents on a daily basis. We didn’t really want new doors; we couldn’t decide on a curtain solution; we wanted something that would change the look of the room entirely (this room is our office/guest room).

It is really very simple to hang curtains across a room or a doorway if you have the right ingredients. We do it constantly in order to divide rooms or create soft walls that allow light to pass through, while maintaining privacy.The pic at top is from an apartment we did for HGTV last year. You can see the one room studio is divided by long curtains that came from Anthropology.
