NEVER REALISED the need for outdoor curtains until coming across it again and again, mostly in archways and doorways, sometimes from the windows of juliet balconies on old apartment buildings and saw how utterly charming it is. It’s mostly an Italian and Spanish thing, although you can sometimes find it in places like the Hudson Vineyards in California (third image from bottom) and other warm, sunny climates. It adds a level of softness and elegance to otherwise rigid buildings and structures and in many cases, colour and pattern.
