Sheer Curtains And Drapes

Most of us provide curtains for windows to control sunlight, but mainly to have privacy within the house. Everybody, irrespective of the social status he/she might be enjoying, needs to have curtains to carry out certain activities within the privacy of home, without any intrusion of any kind from the outside world. A regular curtain best maintains the privacy, preventing the outsiders from watching anything going behind the curtains.

Yet, there is category of people who are continually seeking attention of others by whatever means. They take pleasure in being watched by others in whatever be their activity, and wouldn’t mind being watched by others even when performing very personal tasks in the inner rooms of their homes. Perhaps that explains why we see houses with sheer curtains even in the windows of their bedrooms.



Sheer curtains can in no way offer any sense of privacy; they are not meant for the purpose. At the most they slightly distort the view of inhabitants as well the onlookers.

Generally, sheer curtains are too translucent to keep anything away from the passersby. Probably that is what the users of such curtains look forward to- being watched by the passing crowd all the time. They seem to enjoy the idea of sharing their very intimate actions by anyone who might be interested. The choice is of the onlooker- watch our actions or just pass by without bothering or getting bothered.

Well, the world is full of people having different preferences that suit their lifestyles and personal tastes. There may be some kind of pleasure associated with voyeurism, but that’s not for everybody. And, people using sheer curtains should understand that and must practice some restrain under certain circumstances. Suppose you have some growing children around. Certainly it won’t be healthy to create unhealthy images on their young minds by encouraging them to peep into your private affairs, if they may be called so, behind sheer curtains.

There may be some strangeness of character, which prompts people to use sheer curtains without any consideration for the world around them. Certainly, privacy is not the purpose there. It’s understandable, though, for a homeowner on the higher floors of a multi storied residential building to patronize sheer curtains, as nobody is there at such heights to peep into your house to see what’s going on.

Whatever be the motive, both, the curtains and the patrons of sheer curtains, are unusual. There is none denying that the curtains do reflect the personality of the householder.
