Cafe Curtains

Cafe Curtains originated from Vienna in the 19th Century, to allow patrons to view people passing by as they dined, whilst retaining a degree of privacy.

Cafe Curtains cover only half the window, are stationary and are usually on rods (or poles) with rings.

They can also be tie top, tab top or grommet top for a more contemporary look. They are often teamed up with a valance at the top of the window, purely for decoration to create a tiered effect.

Cafe Curtain
They are used to create privacy in a kitchen or bathroom, and as per their original purpose are used frequently in cafes and restaurants. I am sure everyone can remember seeing red gingham cafe curtains in their neighbourhood at least once!
