I am one of those who like and love to see curtains hang on the windows and doors. Specially if that is my favorite colors and designs admired to see it always. What about you there , are you also with me in this idea? Some people don't want to have this in their house it can cause mosquitoes to play on. What can you say about this; is it true? How do you find it now?

I'd prefer to have curtains on my windows but not on the doors. I think curtains are useful for house decorations, for covering your house from bright sunlight or for privacy if you put it in the bedroom.

No worries! Some people in my home town put curtains in their doors. I think they have the same ideas like yours.

I guess only here in my place is used to have curtains at the door to add style and decors at home. Specially during special occasions we ought to buy new one for it. We will be pleased if we can show new style for the party or occasion.

I am person who likes to have curtains in my windows but not in my doors. I find it more elegant if my windows have curtains on it. Epecially if the design is so classic and simple. I am particular with the design of my curtains.

Well said ,it is elegant to see if that is best for you. So you are not used to have it in doors. Its a matter of style also.

Sad to say, I dont used curtains in my doors. I find i more inconvenient if there are curtains hanging in there once we passed by. I know there are styles on it, but I dont like it.

I like that too, although i haven't gotten to know a tailor that will make me a good curtain for our door. On windows i can buy it in the mall but it was a bit pricey. But i really like the design and colors that matches my bed sheet or sometimes our pillow cases. Anyway, i am also thinking of getting a new curtain for our kitchen door, but still undecided to do so because we rent and what if the flat that we will going to transfer for is different in size, i might not be able to use it. Anyway, need to be patient before decorating everything. About mosquitoes, well the only thing you can do is to spray the curtains too, just in case they come and play, they would be staying away from the curtains too. Happy Mylotting.

Thats good to hear from you. You know sometimes insects play with it because our house is open daily in main doors because it is so hot. I have also screen at the windows but the main door dont have.

I like having curtains in the windows but not curtains in the doors. My mother-in-law can sew her own curtains and I really like the way their house looks like cause the theme also changes when it comes to the curtains. If its summer, our curtains are floral, and if its Christmas, our curtains are also Christmasy.

Hi geniustiger, just like you, I love to see curtains hanging on the windows and doors. They make the environment of the atmosphere really different. Our house looks rather monotonous without the lovely curtains. I pick the color and design of curtains which match the ones of the walls. Yeah, different rooms have their respective colors. there are aluminum mosquitoes net on all the windows and doors. So we don't have to worry about any mosquitoes Besides adding fantastic feeling to us the curtains are really useful as well. The two windows in my bedroom face to the east. I don't want the early morning light to disturb my sweet sleep Therefore the first thing before lying down on my best is to get all the curtains fixed nicely lol.... Happy posting and have a nice day!

I also like curtains but only on windows. I find it kind of weird to have curtains over doors. I know that in a way the curtain on a door provides privacy so that people who will look that way will not see what's inside the door or room. But I prefer doors to be free of any clutter, including curtains. But window curtains are a different thing. I am the one who buys curtains on impulse especially if I see a curtain in a shade or color that I feel is very cool to the eyes. Also, I have to discard old curtains because in my country and the hot, dry weather, the curtains get soiled easily and no matter how many times I wash them they become stained with dust.

Okay I respect your choice in it, curtains in doors. For me it is nice for it adds fashion in my door too. Anyway we have also same in buying impulsive if I really attracted the design, color combination of it. Even though not in my budget it is taken.

Hi, geniustiger. I like to have curtains to my windows. But not my doors. If I had a front or back door that had a window to it, I will put curtains to my window. I don't want someone to look inside of my home then. I am unsure about the mosquitoes coming in more.. But, I do know that curtains can attract any kinds of pest. I once had an curtain to my kitchen window and it attracted heaps of flies. There were so many that kept coming. I kept killing them and they kept on coming. It was like it was swarms of flies..

There are instances that they would love to live with it. Specially if you forgotten to change it after how many weeks. They also multiply as they love to stay the cool and airy cloth.Most black ants like to stay with it. Depending on insects that usually can enter your windows. Flies that white in colors and very tiny ones.

Hi Geniustiger, I too like to have curtains around normally, but when I moved into my flat it came without curtains or curtain rails, and though I did get permission to put them up myself, I decided against the idea because my view changed. I am lucky that my flat is too high to be seen into and so curtains aren't needed as no one can spy on me, but more than that I feel that putting them up would change the ambience of the place. I guess I like the wide openness of being able to see the city without moving any material aside, it makes my mind feel freer and less restricted somehow. If in the future I move into an actual house though I will most certainly have curtains because I wouldn't want people to be able to watch me go about my daily life (even if it is just seeing me type a response on mylot lol). All the best, Dranz

No one could see you there in your room for your flat is in high level. You know I also like to live in that place as it is an overlooking one and nothing to worry to see you coz its too high. Unless if it has also buildings as tall as you are now living. Thank you for sharing your views about curtains it is a part of styling our home in order to see something new.

A window has so much more appeal when it has window dressing. Curtains give a window personality and presence. Doors really don't require curtains unless they are glass doors. Curtains would be needed to make the door eye-catching. Everyone has their own sense of style when it comes to windows. A lot of experimenting comes until you find your ideal.

That's great my dear and I am pretty sure that you have lots of laundries for that curtains you have used. Is it also a uniform style in walls, doors and windows?

Having curtains in the window makes my house nicer. I like that. Also it is very useful in your life, keep off the sunshine or something when you are sleeping or changing clothes.

I like having mini-blinds in my windows, but then I usually have a valance at the top that matches the decor or color theme in that room. I've never really liked just curtains or drapes. I have installed mini-blinds in two rooms so far, and plan on putting them in the living room as well. I like those because you can eith have them closed for privacy or can open them as little or as much as you want to let light in.

Valance is also a group to curtains right. It is cute and nice to see also. I like valance as substitute for curtains. Mini blinds have many uses as what you have said. You want privacy, thats fine. Specially if it is airconditioned room and sometimes pointing to the heat of the sun so you must have it. It is also to roll if no more heat of the sun.

I like the way curtaikns look on a window. All of our windows have curtains. It helps sometimes to be able to shut curtains as well, and block out the sun when you need it to be dark.

Wow so we have same taste nonersays. It adds beauty and captivation to the one seeing it. It is right that it can support the rays of the sun during sunny days.It is also very comfortable to stay at home feeling of convenient in our lifestyle in house.

I do! Especially when the sun is really bright. It also helps you with your privacy, so that your neighbors wont see what you are doing inside your house. It also adds a little style and design.

i like hanging curtains on my window but not on doors. I also like them when they are my my favorite color of if it matches well with the interior design. Curtains will not a playarea of mosquitoes if the area is clean anyway and no stagnant water are near the area. However, having a curtain requires a bit more intense cleaning because its prone to dust accumulation. happy my lotting!
