Curtains vs Doors

One of the most common question people ask is does the cave have rooms? Do you go underground? and how many windows does it have? Well yes a cave does have rooms in our case 9. There are various ways in which you can seperate rooms in any property, however a cave is unique and should be treated so if you are looking for a traditional effect. At this point I will say that it is most certainly down to personnal taste and ideas, with some caves looking more like London flats interior wise it all depends on what you want. Circulation of air is a good idea and in rooms like a kitchen an extractor fan is a good idea as will be a vent axia in the bathroom - with 2m thick walls though this is possible if sometimes a little difficult.

So keeping up with a tight budget and also tradition we opted for curtains, the material is available from textile shops and will cost around €8.00 a metre - (this material will need to stiched later) Inland Andalucia has its own curtain designs which are unique to the area so you are sure to be "hanging" some traditional Spain

Cr juniors bedroom just off the main living room

Kitchen - nothing here because nothing needs to be, again air circulation is beneficial

Bathroom: needs a door for obvious reasons. Pine door 2 panel inc hinges and handles etc, braced €130.00

Bedroom door off the bar/tv room, pull it back for air, close for privacy.

Doors are more and more common in caves nowadays, prehaps its the northern european influence of needing security and privacy and there is nothing wrong with this. I do prefer curtains though and doing things in the way in which we did....doors €1170, curtains €130. So curtains it was anyway!

Ideas

Stable doors: Stable doors are fantastic for interior cave design

Half doors: good idea too and afterall why not for an office or library room?

Hatches: for caves with a lower room or wine cellar

Arches: with a normal door but with glass blocks above to optimise light

Windows: an interior door with not glass but bars traditional to Andalucia

Todays cave temp: 17 degrees
