Facing all kinds of curtains on the market, which one should I choose? Under normal circumstances, curtains made of thin fabrics such as tulle, nylon yarn, tulle and mesh cloth can not only penetrate a certain degree of natural light, but also make people feel private and safe indoors during the day.
When buying thick curtains, you can choose curtains made of corduroy, woolen cloth, golden velvet, wool and linen fabrics.
When choosing the color pattern of curtains, it should be coordinated with the living room and weighed according to the environment and season in the area. Cool color fabrics should be selected in summer, warm color fabrics in winter and neutral color fabrics in spring and autumn. From the perspective of the overall coordination of the living room, we should consider whether it is in harmony with the colors of walls, furniture and floors. If the furniture is dark, choose light curtains, and don't let people feel depressed because the color is too dark.
In addition, curtain fabrics with different textures will produce different decorative effects. When choosing the texture of curtains, we should first consider the function of the room. Bathroom and kitchen should choose practical and washable fabrics, and the style should be simple and smooth; The living room and dining room can be fully free from the influence of external light and noise, and fabrics with strong thickness should be selected; The curtains in the study should be bright fabrics with good light transmittance, which are elegant in color and help to relax and think.
■ Buy common sense
Generally, curtains can be divided into wide and narrow widths. The width is 2.8 meters high, which is the height of the French window, so when you buy a wide curtain, you only need to buy the width. Narrow curtain 1.5m, suitable for windows on tables. The width of the cloth you bought is more than 65438+ 0.5 times the actual width of the window. Experts suggest buying more than twice the width, so that there will be beautiful folds when you put it down.
If your home is a small window, try to choose narrow curtains to avoid waste. For example, if your home is the window of an old house, the width is 1. 1 m and the height is 2. 1 m, try to choose narrow cloth. As long as there is no vertical bar on the fabric, it can generally be done horizontally, so you only need to buy the height, because generally narrow fabric is cheaper than wide fabric. You can also hang curtains with hanging rods and curtain rods respectively. The cost of railway tracks is generally low. All curtain manufacturers should provide free installation services (railings or window bars). If you can't measure yourself, you can pay a certain deposit and ask for home measurement. Most businesses also provide this service for free. If you buy a small quantity, you can pay an installation fee ranging from 10 to 30 yuan according to the distance from your home to the curtain shop.
