beaded curtain

Clicking doorway strands

A beaded curtain is a hanging screen made of vertical strings of beads, used as a decorative room divider or doorway covering.

The beads click together when someone passes through.

Popular in the 1960s and 70s, beaded curtains evoke bohemian or retro aesthetics: The beaded curtain separated the kitchen from the living room.
