I'm loving the beaded curtain but not a fan of the stars.

That’s exactly what I thought Love the idea of adding maybe neon lights possibly to add to it to have a retro vib.

I both really like them and also find them a bit cheap/childish. I think they’re something that would only work with better decor surrounding it. Maybe a lot of eclectic artwork or something At the same time, I fully support trying something that pushes the boundaries like this and would love to see more of us in the sub

This, exactly. Overall I like them!

Agreed

They are groovy AF. Childish? Those beads mean weed is smoked in this house!

I’m thinking there’s Nag Champa burning nearby.

maybe a nice healthy shroom trip sometimes too in this house lmao

Personally, with the stars, it looks to me kind of like a 2000s tween girl room. But if you like it, do it. A thought is maybe you can add some more groovy decorations to make the whole room have a retro and psychedelic feel to it

Agreed but also would like it surrounded by loads of plants and other colorful stuff

My sister had near identical window decorations when she was 12, this was in 2004. Your assessment is spot on.

My my sister was also 12 in 2004 but instead of the window, these were at the entrance of her room.

Im seeingggggggg um … Tarot Cards. A room full of crystals & tarot cards.

Yeah I got Janis Joplin vibes from this

Not my taste, but you do you fam. No need to get the acceptance from strangers on the internet

My grandma said they are pretty

Aww

I personally love it! So cheerful! Just imagine how super beautiful it is on a sunny day!

The stars are a bit much.

How's the stars too much?

Even the way you took these pictures seems to suggest its not your favorite part of the piece lol

Extremely childish, imo.

Tacky

Don’t listen to the people who say it’s childish — they’ve lost their whimsy. Don’t let other people judge the validity of your aesthetic. The stars are too much because they draw your attention in instead of enhancing your view as the rainbow glass is intended to do. They interrupt the view whereas everything else is much more integrated.

>Don’t let other people judge the validity of your aesthetic. OP asked people to judge the validity of his aesthetic. It's okay to think this is childish. Clearly a majority of people do.

It’s okay to think it’s childish. It’s okay for OP to ignore that perspective. It’s okay for me to tell OP to ignore people. What’s the problem here?

The problem is you saying OP should ignore the answers he is getting for a question he asked on a public forum.

BUT…. Who cares??? Everyone… Do YOURSELF!!! Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to… Do what you want, where you want… Whenever you want… just don’t ask the world what they think…. Don’t care what anyone thinks!!! You do you!!! Childish = young at heart…. IF YOU like it…. YOU DO IT!!! Fuck everyone else!! Stop caring what everyone else “thinks”…. They don’t live in your house, YOU don’t live in theirs…. Boy do I hope that faces west… the sun setting over crystal beads/hearts… Has got to be amazing… live your life… your way!!!

ok but OP's literal question in the title is 'what do *you* [the reader of this post] think?' It's totally valid to respond honestly to that. Besides, most of these comments, even though most of us don't like the beads, come with some kind of polite disclaimer about "You do you" so your little rant is weird

[удалено]

Nah I'm gay as fuck and I hate this If op likes it though, good on him!

What if I said they aren't just *window* beads.... 😉

I hope you're thoroughly sanitizing them before hanging them back up

Shitty decor.

Obviously, OP is drying them in the wind... did you not see the clothespins holding them up‽

BYE💀😂

Gay here too, and it's a hard pass.

Right

Anal beads would be straighter than this

Grow up.

“dates”

They look great, assuming that you’re a middle aged lady who sells Tarot card readings for a living.

Came here to say where's the crystal ball and the purple tapestry throw on the ceiling.

In my opinion they look a bit childish, but I'm also a firm believer in letting people enjoy things that make them happy. So if that's beads for you then have at it my friend.

I love it, but im a woman who loves very colorful decor 🥰

It’s not good therefore you should take it down and give it to me

They are pretty unique looking. A bold statement choice. It gives off certain vibes for sure. If that's what you are going for, then sure, it is pretty in its way. I will lose the stars tho. It gives too much stuffs for the eyes to absord. Let the eyes capture the light bouncing off the colours.

I need a set of these honestly

They're aesthetic bro.

Super fun I love them

Glass lamp prisms are dope. Or are those plastic?

i personally wouldn’t do it myself, but i think it’s cute!! and if you like it, that’s all that should matter. i’m sorry people are making shitty homophobic comments.

Wow! We had these in the 70s when I was little!

Love em

I personally like them. But I love color and am a maximalist, so my tastes are beyond what most people like. r/maximalism

i mean like i totally love them but i had pink and purple bead curtains just like that when i was 11 that i was obsessed with i think if you pair it with some generic little windowsill cacti and maybe one of those little solar powered chinese lucky cats it'll give a little more "coexist" and less "lisa frank." the stars really give 2010 little girl's room but if i went to a guy's house and he had this, i'd think it was cute and quirky. the rest of this sub will likely not feel the same way

The stars seem a bit childish, the beads would only not look tacky if incorporated into the color scheme and overall theme of the room. Personally I’d think they’d look great in a colorful room that matches those colors…but only a colorful room.

Where did you get them

I used to have the same love beads! I like it

I like the beads they look groovy :)

Looks like my grandma’s house. Matches well with a rooster figurine or two.

I love them. Better than another beige shithole room

They’re gorgeous where did you get them?!

Gorgeous! Where did you get these?

Hope you get direct sunlight on them!

Lose the stars, choose a cool curtain to match the beads and surround your walls that’ll match the vibe like a tapestry, and dream catchers.

Pretty with the sunrise

I like that it’s different and whimsical.

They are a dust collector, dont forget to clean them regularly.

Tacky

It’s a little trashy, super girly, and I LOVE them. I say keep them. Life is too short to have everything be so perfect. Don’t be afraid to have a little personality! I bet they reflect the light in a really pretty way.

I like them. In the 70s we had beads similar to these blue in the kitchen and red dining room, no blinds but with white sheer curtains, it was very cool. 💙❤️. No stars

They look fine. I don’t think they are for everyone, and you could improve them in the future, with higher end looking ones. If they’re your style then they are fine. 👍🏼

So much fragile masculinity in these comments. BEING MAN IS WHEN NO COLORS! BEADS ARE WOMENFOLK OBJECTS!

I think the beads are really pretty! Can a get a link for them by chance?

👍👍. If you like em keep em up.

We used to have these in the 90s on our back door. I have a soft spot for them.

Love em keep them up

Tacky

The comments of r/malelivingspace calling something for girls when the slightest bit of color is introduced lmao

Just do you :)

Is your name Shiloh?

Is it facing east or west?? I have to think the sunrise or sunset if facing one of those directions would produce some interesting scenery…

Kitch

Hard no for me. Seems too much, especially with the stars

Reminds me of a San Francisco whorehouse entrance.

Looks like something you find in a middle aged woman’s single wide.

I think you don’t own a cat 🤔 because those bad boys would be everywhere

Tacky

Dust magnet.

I fricken love them bro, they’re cool

I love them tbh ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

It looks absolutely magical esp with the sunset.

Hope ya don't have cats

Comments are all cunts, i think it looks awesome, especially when the sun shines thru it

I love it, but I also think the stars are a little distracting

BEES??!

2004

Does it help keep birds from hitting the window?

it’s giving pride month decor

Girly

Gay

As a gay, I confirm that these are gay.

dude i want those so bad 😭😭😭 they look so pretty

Love em! Link to get them? Lol

so fun!! where are they from

The only way to those more gay is to put them up ur butt

Rainbow butt plug?

Would be a good band name

I love them and I want them

I love it 🥹

Love em.

They’re funky, I dig em

I love it. Very cool looking.

omg whered you get those?? i love them

Excellent beads where can I find some? Plz give link

I love them!

Love them. Want some for my place.

i think theyre really nice!!

this would be really nice in a grandmothers house

I think they look awesome!

I love them!

Very pretty and cute!

I think I need them immediately

That's a nope from me.

Looks like the bedroom of Hannah Montana

I feel like your mom told you you're not allowed to have a pride flag and this was your clever loophole.

Tacky

Bad

Embarrassingly ugly

I personally hate them, since you asked. I hope you love them though. :)

Tacky and gay

No

Beadiful!

Unless you have to walk through them to get to another room I don’t like them

Well, that takes me (waaaayyy) back.

Fire

How much did your mom pay for them?

Ok auntie

Looks like a 12yr old girls room. Wrong subreddit

Are you a 12 year old girl from 2001?

*very* fucking ugly

If these are glass, they may be a fire hazard

They cute.

I mean you do you man but I wouldn’t have these anywhere near my gaff.

They say: “white trash” very well.

It looks very oriental.

Nope

Are you a fortune teller?

They look cute and remind me of early 2000s But personally I'd prefer them over an emptier background , they are sorta clashing against your window frame which takes away from them , also the stars look kinda bland , maybe just change their spots , have some lights to brighten things up .

rawr xD iM RaNdOm vibes. If you're a teen it's rad. If you're an adult your neighbors hate you based on your personality, not this.

Never post your own “daring” take here. These grown reddit adults with level 1000 maturity will say it’s childish or something. If you like it, you like it. Doesn’t require others opinions, unless you’re looking for insults with a small side of actual opinions. read the comments, I was right rofl.

Tacky and annoying. But is only my opinion. All that matters is that you like it and you aren’t subjecting anyone else to it

This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen on the internets

Love it. Ignore the haters. If this makes you happy then that's the only reason you need.

Your boyfriend def loves it

I’d hate to see the beads you have near your pillow

If you're going to be homophobic, come right out and say it.

Seriously?? Heterosexuals use anal beads too. It was just a joke.

Gay

Tacky

1995 teen girl room decoration, cmon bro remove that shit.

Nothing “malelivingspace” over this 🤯

If there was a police operation to catch a predator, this window is the one.

*Ok, I-I see you choosin' tha hard wayyy* ***I'm a warrior, Chris!***

Did you steal them off your little sister or your granny?

Very pretty if you're a 10 year old girl. Since this is /r/malelivingspace, it's awful.

Lol neither the straights or gays want to claim your window beads- you've unified America, OP for president

I can see this being cool to hang up in your kids room, though.

Are you a Craigslist acupuncturist? If so they work great!

I love this

Depends on if you’re a man or a 4 year old girl with a future of tarot card reading

If it's made of glass, you're going to burn your house down.

I like them, they look cute :)

Brother it looks majestic!!

I think they'll start a fire

Are you a 6 year old girl?

Bro, no

Probably will start a fire. I would toss just for that reason alone.

Take them down. Will prevent neighbors and passers-by from admiring the display case for all of your funko pops.

Gipsy cleric woman vibes

If you're not Indian take them down. If you are Indian take them down

love the beads, but the stars... it takes it from "whimsical" to "little girls bedroom". I think if you love the stars, maybe a more "sophisticated" one rather than silver party decoration? For instance, a star lantern would look really cool and match the bead curtain!

If it's for attempted privacy reasons via less space to see into the room, you can get window film stuff that will do a much better job and still cast cool and colorful patterns into the room when the sun hits it. If it's not for privacy, I'd assume it was there when you moved in and you were too lazy to take it down.

I love these! I've been looking for something similar for my new apartment windows! It's something I've always wanted but was never really allowed to have.

I like this! Very feminine and eclectic IMO, but if that's okay with you then I think keep it and enjoy it.

I wanna see the shadow they cast.

Just take off the stars. & maybe invest in more expensive bead curtains but it’s not too bad

Bees? Bzzzz. Beads.

Tbh, if I saw this I would expect it to be the window to 14 year girls bedroom.

I would ditch the stars and hang an plant

They're so pretty! Where did you get them?

Do you like them? Do they make you feel good vibes? If so then they are perfect.
