Outdoor Curtains Can Be Very Classy on Your Porch
On the inside of their homes, some people like privacy, while others do not. It is just a matter of personal preference. Yet others use curtains, drapes, and window coverings as a decorative touch only. So, has that same trend moved to the outdoors?
Even as recent as a few years ago, outdoor curtains -whether in a 100% exposed environment or in a porch enclosure - were not prevalent. That seemed to all change as more and more folks starting moving their lifestyle to the outdoors.
It is unclear which use of outdoor curtains was first. Sheer curtains may have been first, used to create a small amount of privacy, while still letting the air blow through. Outdoor drapes seemed to have two purposes: complete coverage that delivered for privacy of the occupants and/or protection from the elements, or purely as decorative accents.
As with interior design and window treatments, exterior design is not that much different. First, you need to determine purpose: privacy or decoration.
When it comes to privacy, again, would sheer curtains be sufficient, or do you really want to block exposure to the outside? What type of material is going to the best choice based upon your location? You may be limited in color choices and such depending on the weight of the fabric. (Have you ever considered mosquito netting?) Also, take into account the hardware you will use, and how it responds to humidity, rain, snow, etc.
As for purely decorative affect, your options are somewhat expanded. You can select colors that match the rest of your decor, select a texture or style, and even decide how you want to hang them to create your desired effect.
Have you considered using something other than fabric? How about an old garden gate to put between two columns? It creates a conversation piece as well as a privacy factor. Do you have a rug that has interest on the front and back sides that you could hang and use like a roll-down blind?
How about several table runners that you hang at selected intervals and then either tie in the center, or roll up at varying heights? Would a bead curtain (like those that were popular in the sixties) be a unique option? Still yet, how about a few pots with topiaries or varying sizes that gives a partial view block, yet is easily moved around for care?
An outdoor area - especially a porch - should be approached just like a room in your home when it comes to outdoor curtains, sheers, blinds, etc. Treat the openings as windows and use the same approach as you would for an interior room, and then sit back and enjoy the view.
