Curtains aren’t just for windows. In a pinch – or shall we say cinch – statement curtains and drapes can stand in for heftier renovations like partition walls, sliding panels, hinged doors, and more. And many designers lean into their flexible architectural qualities, softening the lines of rigid contemporary layouts whilst adding a gentle dose of drama.
Think of this as a new interior design trend. ‘I think that embracing the idea that a ‘wall’ can be made out of something soft, like a curtain, seems very of the moment – this notion that space can be defined with materials that are impermanent,’ says Adam Charlap Hyman, Principal at New York’s Charlap Hyman & Herrero.
