Long a symbol of 1970s interior decorating style, beaded curtains serve real purposes in contemporary homes. Made of long strands of wooden, plastic, bamboo, or shell beads, beaded curtains create a visual screen across a doorless closet or a divider across two connected spaces. Beaded curtains can also create an unusual permanent window covering.
Typical costs: |
- Beaded curtains cost $20-$50 per panel. Inexpensive beaded curtains are usually made with plastic or bamboo; some have bright colors and funky shapes that work well in a child's bedroom. The more expensive beaded curtains have hand-painted designs on them and may be made with glass beads.
