Working from home sounds like a dream—until you realise your “office” is also a playground, pet zone, and general chaos centre. If you’re constantly battling noise, distractions, chilly drafts, and an overenthusiastic dog, we’ve got a simple, affordable solution: PVC strip curtains. And help you avoid some of the most common WFH distractions – kids and pets.
Yes, the same strip curtains used in commercial spaces can work wonders in a busy home. Here’s how they can help you reclaim your workspace (and your sanity).
1. Create a Quiet Home Office Without Cutting Yourself Off
Not everyone has a spare room to convert into an office. If you’re working from the living room, dining area, or a shared space, a strip curtain can create a clear boundary without shutting you off completely.
✅ Blocks distractions – Kids can see you, but they know you’re “at work.”
✅ Helps reduce noise – No more background chaos on Zoom calls.
✅ Keeps the dog out – No more unexpected guest appearances in meetings!
✅ Allows fresh air while blocking flies – Enjoy keeping the door open without having to constantly swat flies and mozzies!
With a clear or tinted strip curtain, you can still see what’s going on while keeping the noise and interruptions to a minimum.
2. Keep the Warm Air In (and the Cold Air Out)
Sick of heating the entire neighbourhood because the kids won’t stop leaving the door open? A strip curtain on the back door acts as an invisible barrier—warm air stays inside in winter, and cool air stays in during summer.
🌡 Lower energy bills – Less heat escaping means more savings.
🚪 Stops draughts – No more cold air creeping into your home office.
🐶 Dog-friendly – Pets can move freely without a big temperature drop.
It’s a win for comfort and your electricity bill.
3. Stop the Dog from Bringing the Backyard Inside
We love our pets, but let’s be real—muddy paws, wet fur, and backyard debris all over the house is not the vibe.
A strip curtain in the laundry or wetroom creates a drying-off zone before they charge into the house. Quick wipe-down, problem solved.
Bonus: Kids seem to get the idea too—no more tracking dirt inside!
4. Keep the Kitchen and Pantry Off-Limits
Cooking dinner while your dog lurks underfoot? Or trying to keep the pantry off-limits to snack-hungry kids during work hours?
A lightweight PVC strip curtain can:
🚫 Keep pets out of the kitchen while you cook.
🚪 Act as a pantry door alternative—discourage those sneaky snack raids!
🦟 Block flies and insects when the back door is open.
It’s an easy way to maintain order (and hygiene) in the busiest part of the house.
5. Contain the Chaos of Kids’ Play Areas
If you’ve ever stepped on a LEGO, you know that kids’ mess spreads like wildfire. Strip curtains help define play areas without needing a wall or door.
🎲 Blocks the mess from view – Out of sight, out of mind!
📢 Helps with noise control – Perfect for when you need to focus.
🛑 Creates a visual “stop” sign – Kids learn that beyond the curtain is a different zone.
No need for expensive renovations—just a simple curtain to help keep the chaos contained. And you can even mix up the colours on the strip curtains to make it even more playful!
Why Strip Curtains Are a Game-Changer for Busy Homes
If you’re juggling remote work, parenting, and pet ownership, strip curtains can make home life just a little bit easier.
✅ Affordable – Way cheaper than building walls or installing doors.
✅ Easy to install – Up in minutes with just a few screws.
✅ Low maintenance – Wipe clean and you’re done.
✅ Customisable – Choose the right size, thickness, and even colour.
