Curtains Instead Of Cabinet Doors

Cabinet width 30 this measurement is more flexible.

Curtains instead of cabinet doors.

No we re not talking open shelving. There s an easy way to reduce the cost. Fold the top of the curtain around the strip so it s hidden from the front then staple or nail the strip and the part of the curtain that will be behind it onto the face frame of your cabinet. Forgo standard kitchen cabinet doors altogether.

When you opt for this door alternative you can rest assured that there will be airflow in and around the dishes that you have stored in your cabinet. Wire mesh and screens can actually be very attractive especially in a farmhouse style home where the mesh or screen will give the kitchen a country feel. Leaded glass and stained glass are traditional solutions but industrial windows and doors can create a similar effect though in a much more contemporary way. You d need a heavy duty staple gun or you could also use upholstery staples kind of like u shaped nails.

Then allow for 3 4 or so for each hem. I love the soft look of it. Reminds me of my grandmother. Remember to add 1 5 to 2 times the cabinet width.

Gathers hide flaws and hemming this kind of project does not require 100 accuracy. My curtains are two panels each so four total hems left and right side of each panel which equal six extra inches. And then there are etched glass screens awnings and more. I have used curtains as doors for years it softens sound and i like the look.
