curtain

A curtain is a hanging piece of fabric that covers or divides a space. Think of the curtains in your bedroom at home - they block out light and add some style.

You might see curtains in all sorts of places, like hotel rooms, movie theaters, or even on stages for performances. Usually, when people talk about curtains, they're talking about hanging them up to control the amount of natural light coming into a room. Some rooms need more light, while others benefit from being darker and cozier. You might see thick, heavy curtains in a bedroom at night, but thinner ones during the day in a living room or kitchen. People often think about choosing nice curtains when they're decorating a new space because they can really change how a room feels - warm and inviting, or cool and modern.
