bead curtain
Stringed doorway decoration
A bead curtain is a hanging screen made of strands of beads, used as a decorative room divider or doorway covering.
The beads—glass, wood, plastic, or bamboo—click together when someone passes through.
Popular in the 1960s and 70s, they evoke bohemian or retro aesthetics: The bead curtain separated the living room from the kitchen.
