Semplici e decorative Non sono una novità, ma certamente oggi vengono utilizzate più frequentemente che nel passato. Roll-up curtains, certainly not a novelty, are being more frequently used today than in the past. Their Le tende a rullo, essendo costituite essenzialmente da un telo teso che si arrotola su un’asta, sono molto semplici; ciò nonostante consentono di ottenere risultati di grande effetto dovuti sia alla fantasia del tessuto che alla sua trama. Nelle foto: Un effetto simile a quella di un tessuto a trama irregolare, si può ottenere utilizzando teli realizzati con materiali naturali, quali sottili canne di bambù, in grado di arricchire anche l’ambiente più elegante con una insolita Cross grain fabric like effect can be obtained by using woven cloths of natural matter, such as thin bamboo reeds, which can enhance also the most elegant environment thanks to its unusual exotic ambience.

Roll-up curtains Rolling curtains, being essentially made up of a tight cloth which rolls up on a pole, are pretty simple; nonetheless they allow highly effective results thanks both to fabric design and its grain. When plain colour is chosen it is actually possible to customize the final effect by choosing a particularly cross or irregular grain, that through the glazed surface is shown by the “against the light” effect on daytime hours. This kind of curtain should avoid heavyweight fabrics because, when rolled up, they produce bulky and aesthetically unappealing cylinders. In order to avoid that the cloth obstructs window opening it suffices to apply curtains directly on window shutters; in this case, however, when the shutters are wide open, curtains lose their in-out filtering function. When fancy design is chosen and the curtain is expected to be often partially lifted up, it is advisable to pick small drawings or lined motifs. As we already noticed curtains are one of the most effective furnishing complements to help customize houses. So why not freeing imagination by decorating a roll-up curtain with a handmade design reproducing a subject of our choice? Of course the skilful can draw the subject by himself, by using specific fabric-dyes. In order to involve children in their room furnishings set up let them choose the subject that will be reproduced on the curtain cloth or just let them directly draw. In such a way the room will adapt to their taste and curiosity evolution, without turning to most demanding changes, from an economic viewpoint too.

Roll-up curtains differ from the envelope ones in the gathering device: the first are rolled up on a stick while, on the contrary, the latter are gathered by mean of a strings set which collect them at header tape height. This kind of curtains enables extremely picturesque effect too, thanks both to the diverse fabric available choices and the ways to curl them out. To obtain a much more pliable effect and for the easiest handling, if window size is large, a curtain per window can be made instead of making a single one.
