How curtain fabrics can adjust our spaces to support our wellbeing
Hygienic yet human-centric interior curtain solutions
There’s been a lot of discussion lately about the ‘new normal’. While no one can say for certain what the future will bring, we do believe that recent events have forced a shift in perspective. It’s inevitable when the activities we took for granted – a day at the office, a meal at a restaurant, a hotel stay, a hospital visit – have radically changed, heightening our sense of caution. We’re looking at the spaces and materials around us differently. Yes, they should be clean and hygienic and fulfil their function, but they should also still satisfy our human desire for comfort and support our wellbeing.
The benefits of soft furnishings in contract interiors are manifold. Curtains can help to determine the atmosphere and identity of a space, imbuing it with tactility and comfort while regulating light and temperature. They can soften reverberation and the space itself, connect or divide a room. They give us the opportunity to adjust our spaces to support our wellbeing and help safeguarding our spaces for today and tomorrow.
hygienic and safe curtain fabrics
At a time of increased awareness surrounding hygiene and safety, it’s reassuring to know that Vescom curtains are washable at 70°C – well above the temperature needed to kill bacteria, viruses and dust mites – or alternatively treated with disinfectants, features that are supported by comprehensive testing.
natural solution to practise social distancing
We’re not only increasingly aware of hygiene, but of the need to practise safe social distancing. This need has led to a surge of makeshift screen solutions that feel anything but human. Curtains provide a more natural and comfortable alternative to partitioning, and most Vescom ranges can be railroaded to achieve a seamless and cost-effective floor-to-ceiling solution.
