Choice of curtain style
There are two kinds of household fabric curtains: traditional flat curtains and lifting curtains.
The traditional flat curtain is simple and random in size, which is suitable for most windows. According to the width of the window, it can be designed as single-sided flat pull type and double-sided flat pull type, and generally 1.5m is used as the demarcation benchmark. The curtain-lifting type can be lifted to one side or both sides to form a soft arc, creating a good decorative effect, and can also be matched with various strap accessories. The style with curtain head is more complicated to make, but the decorative effect is better, which makes the room more tidy and beautiful.
The window is small, so it is best to choose lifting curtains or roman blinds. Generally, the cloth on the market is 1.4m wide, so it is more convenient to install roman blinds in windows with the width below 1.4m, and there is no seam in the middle. When you buy cloth, you only need to buy the length. There is furniture in front of the window.
Roman blinds can also be installed, because it does not occupy space and will not affect the placement of items in the room. Roman blinds are also suitable for hexagonal rooms. In such a house, the windows will be divided into several parts, and roman blinds can ensure a good connection between each curtain. In a suite, windows are different in size and shape, so choosing different styles can sometimes make up for some window defects. Generally speaking, for large-area glass viewing windows, you can use window rails with drawstring machinery, and the effect of floor-to-ceiling curtains is good. It can also be spliced together with several groups of roman blinds, and the decorative effect is stronger. For bay windows, large windows should be composed of several independent curtains, each curtain can be tied separately, and continuous soft curtain tracks are selected to connect the curtains into a whole.
Selection of curtain fabric
At present, the fabric curtains on the market mainly include cotton, linen, yarn, satin and so on. Among them, cotton and linen are common materials for curtains, which are easy to wash and replace and suitable for bedrooms. The gauze curtain is decorative, which can enhance the depth of the room and has good light transmittance, and is suitable for use in the living room and balcony. Silk curtains are exquisite in texture, luxurious and gorgeous, with good shading and sound insulation effect, but the price is relatively high.
When choosing the fabric of curtains, we should first consider the function of the room.
The 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 thicker fabrics 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. At the same time, the light intensity of the room also has certain requirements for curtains. When choosing a cloth, you must consider the orientation of the window. South-facing windows have good lighting, and gauze, cotton cloth or silk cloth are more suitable. Rooms facing north are often cold and gloomy. Choose warm and heavy curtains, such as cotton or hemp, to increase the temperature. If there are windows facing east or west at home, shading is the most important purpose of curtains. Shading curtains should not only block strong light, but also keep indoor brightness, and make full use of natural light to illuminate the room. Next to the busy window,
At night, the lights of street lamps and billboards are also very strong. In order to have a stable sleep, thicker curtains are needed. Due to the different intensity of illumination time, the color of curtains will fade differently. Therefore, in the space with long lighting time and strong lighting time, the curtain cloth should be thicker and darker, which has special shading effect to prolong the service time. Seasonal factors should also be considered when choosing window decoration fabrics. Soft yarn or silk should be used for curtains in summer, which is breathable and cool. Meet the needs of "the eye of the window" in winter.

For example, there will inevitably be screws on the curtain rod, but they should not be too prominent, thus affecting the overall beauty of the curtain.
