curtainsiders

Curtainsiders is a colloquial term used in interior design and home decor communities to describe individuals who specialize in curtains and other window treatments. The term can refer to both professionals—such as drapery designers, installers, and fabricators—and enthusiasts who study fabrics, hardware, and installation techniques and share knowledge through forums, blogs, and social media. The word is a blend of curtain and insider, signaling expertise about window coverings rather than any formal credential.

In practice, curtainsiders discuss a range of topics: fabric types (linen, velvet, silk), lining options, light

Because curtainsiders is informal and not standardized, different groups may ascribe different emphases to the term.
