Plastic curtains at home

When you think of plastic curtains, it may be plastic shower curtains that come to mind first. It makes sense that the durability and practicality of plastic be used in the bathroom where water is sure to touch the curtain. Yes, most shower curtain liners are plastic, but there are also other window coverings made from plastic too.

Plastic Window Covering Ideas

There are other rooms in the house where plastic curtains can be both practical and fashionable. The kitchen is one such place. A window directly over the kitchen sink is subject to getting splashed on occasion. Even cooking grease from frying can make its way through the air and attach to different surfaces around the kitchen. Using plastic curtains here makes for easy clean up with a damp kitchen sponge or de-greasing spray cleaner and paper towels.

There are plastic curtains that can be quite deceiving! Some are made in such a way that you would have to reach out and touch them to know they are plastic. Decorative eyelet or lace patterns can be found on the draperies to make them look like cloth, even close up.

To also make plastic curtains and draperies look softer while retaining their practicality, you can add soft fabrics and trims to the curtains. Try using a fabric valance over the plastic drapes and tying them back with matching material.

Plastic curtains can also be embellished with borders of fabric, ribbon or lace to add to their cloth-like appearance. Sometimes they are used for special purposes like hospital curtains. You will still have the benefit of an easy to clean material while creating a designer look all your own. Trims and accessories can be changed as the room’s décor changes over time, while still using the practical plastic curtains as the base for your design.

A child’s room is another good place for plastic curtains. A bedroom or playroom gets plenty of wear and tear from sticky handed toddlers! You can even find kid-friendly patterns or favourite characters on a child’s plastic curtains.
