How to choose curtains? What kind of curtains are better?

We all know that curtains are a common type of decoration. When decorating a home, curtains are usually installed. In the market, curtains come in a variety of colors and styles. Different curtains have different decorative effects and are very popular. So how do you choose the best curtains? Let's take a closer look!

How to choose curtains

The practicality of curtains

When choosing curtains, we focus on practicality, which does not mean completely ignoring the decoration of the curtains. It is just that when there is a conflict between the two, practicality and convenience will be given priority.

1. Living room curtains

The living room is not a place for resting, so the curtains do not need to block out too much light, and they just need to not affect watching TV when opened or closed.

If the living room is connected to the balcony, you only need to make one layer of curtains on the balcony. If there are bends on both sides of the balcony, you must make them separately to save effort when cleaning. I have met the most extravagant customers who made cloth curtains and gauze curtains on the balcony, and made two layers of curtains at the connection between the living room and the balcony. I have also met customers who made three layers inside and outside. In fact, you can only make two layers at most. If you make more, it will be troublesome to use and even more troublesome to clean.

If the living room has no balcony but only windows, the curtains only need to be wider than the windows, which will save money and effort in future cleaning. Some people say that it is not as good-looking as a full wall curtain, but in fact they do not know how to decorate. Curtains are mainly about matching, and size has no absolute relationship. If the matching is good, a small one is also a fine product. If the matching is not good, it is useless to cover two walls.

2. Bedroom Curtains

The curtains in adult bedrooms must block out light. Some customers only pay attention to the appearance of the curtains when purchasing, but ignore the light blocking. As a result, they change the curtains not long after they are installed. However, children's rooms should not be too light-blocking. A brighter room is better for children's physical and mental development.

If the bedroom has a balcony, you can do the same as the living room. If there is no balcony, the curtains can be larger than the windows. You don't need to use curtains that cover the entire wall. It is easy to use and clean, and it saves a lot of money.

The curtains in the bedroom must be thick, which can block wind, sound insulation, keep warmth and keep out the cold, which has many benefits.

The decorative nature of curtains

When buying curtains, paying attention to the decorative effect of the curtains will definitely increase the difficulty of cleaning in the future and the current capital demand. To put it bluntly, it is like paying for trouble, but there is no way to do it. People live for their reputation. It is not easy to buy a house, and it costs a lot of money to decorate it, so the curtains naturally cannot be compromised.

Curtains are not easy to match, but it is not difficult if you master the following points. However, you must understand the key points thoroughly.

1. Fabric

There are many kinds of fabrics, and different decoration styles are suitable for different fabrics, but this is not absolute. When purchasing, in addition to feeling it more yourself, you should also communicate more with the merchant.

If conditions permit, try to buy better fabrics. Good fabrics are not only pure in color, but also have high color fastness and are durable. Inferior fabrics will often lose their color after a few years of use.

2. Flower shape

When buying curtains, the pattern and pattern of the curtains must match the style of the decoration. This is actually easy to understand. As long as you pay a little attention, it should not be difficult to distinguish. Just don't act impulsively when you see a sample that looks too good.

3. Color

Color matching is the key to choosing curtains, especially now that most consumers are young people, and the decoration style is basically simple and elegant, so color matching becomes even more important.

The number of colors in a space should not exceed three. If there are more colors, it will inevitably give people a chaotic feeling. The selection of curtains is relatively late, so the colors should be extracted from the existing colors in the space as much as possible.

If the color of the space is already rich, it is best to choose a lighter neutral color for the curtains. Gray, beige, and brown are all good. The specific combination depends on the actual situation. If the space is relatively plain, the color of the curtains may as well be more conspicuous and eye-catching to enrich the color of the space.

In short, there is a principle to be kept in mind when matching curtains. The color must be subject to the needs of the overall effect. It should be on stage when it is needed to be the protagonist, and it should be willing to be behind the scenes when it is a supporting role. Never choose curtains just because they look good.

4. Style

The style of curtains is not too important. If you don't choose the right one beforehand, no matter how good the style is, it will be useless. However, it seems wrong to say that style is not important. Even if a person is naturally beautiful, if he doesn't know how to dress up, he will most likely be lost among the crowd.

So how do you set the curtain style for your home? It's very simple. If the decoration is simple, it should be simpler. If the decoration is luxurious, it should be more complicated. Chinese style has Chinese curtain heads, and American style has American curtain heads. In a word, the one that suits you is the best.

Curtain matching method

1. Choose materials according to living environment

When we choose the material of curtains, we must determine it according to the living environment. Consider the living climate and then make a choice.

2. Residential use

If you want to be more adaptable to the outside world and let in natural light, you can choose curtains. If you choose a bedroom with strong privacy, it is best to choose curtains with strong light-blocking power.

3. To coordinate with the overall room

Be sure to consider whether the color is coordinated with the furniture and large area of ​​the wall, and whether they match each other in terms of selection.
