curtain definition and meaning

What is a "curtain"?

A curtain is a window treatment that consists of a piece of fabric that is hung from a rod above a window. Curtains are typically made of lighter materials than drapes and are used for both decorative and functional purposes. They can add style and privacy to a room while also allowing light to filter through. Curtains come in a wide variety of styles, colors, and materials, and can be easily changed to update the look of a room. They are typically hung from decorative rods or hardware and can be opened and closed manually or with a motorized system. Curtains are a popular choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens, where they can enhance the decor of the space while also providing practical benefits.
