How to install curtains for tatami mats next to floor-to-ceiling windows? How to install curtains for tatami mats next to floor-to-ceiling windows?

We all know that many people design floor-to-ceiling windows in their homes, which can provide good lighting effects and make the room brighter, and are very popular among people. Some people will design a tatami next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, so how to install the curtains of the tatami next to the floor-to-ceiling windows? Let's take a closer look!

How to install curtains for tatami next to floor-to-ceiling windows

There is a tatami next to the floor-to-ceiling window. There are several ways to install the curtains, mainly based on our needs for curtains:

One way is to install normal track curtains, or Roman rod curtains, and close them by pulling them left and right.

One method is to leave a space of about 20 cm between the tatami and the window for the sliding of the curtains. The advantage of this method is that the curtains can fall to the ground and have better shielding properties. The disadvantage is that the gap between the tatami and the window is dusty and difficult to clean.

Another method is to make curtains on the tatami instead of making completely floor-length curtains. The advantage of this method is that it is simple and convenient. The disadvantage is that there will be a small gap between the curtains and the tatami, which allows for light and air to pass through, but provides less shielding.

One way is to use folding curtains. They are opened and closed by lifting them up and down. This type of curtain is suitable for small French windows. The advantages are that it is neater and less messy, and the curtains take up less space. The disadvantage is that they do not have the good shielding of track curtains. And the lifting method will block the upper part of the window.

If used on large floor-to-ceiling windows, the folding curtains need to be divided into blocks so that the gaps between the curtains are more obvious.

The installation method of curtains depends on the specific situation of your home. A better way is to use track curtains and make a hidden curtain box above the window. The movable width of the curtain is larger than the window, so that the shielding is better. If it is a tatami in the living room, the shielding requirement is not high, and you can choose curtains on the tatami. If it is a tatami in the bedroom, it is best to make the curtains completely floor-length. If it is a curtain in the study, you can use folding curtains.

How to install curtains for tatami near floor-to-ceiling windows

Because tatami windows have a platform, they are generally shorter. There are three ways to make curtains:

1. The finished curtains are installed in the window frame

Finished curtains refer to wooden blinds, roller blinds, soft gauze curtains, Shangri-La curtains, etc. These curtains are very simple and concise. The curtains used next to the tatami bed can save indoor space and make the home more usable.

This type of curtain does not look cumbersome when used in a tatami room and is easy to clean. The disadvantage is that it looks too simple and not warm.

2. Fabric Roman blinds are used in tatami window frames

The installation method of fabric Roman blinds is similar to that of ready-made blinds, but the decorative effect is better than the first method, there are more fabric pattern choices, and it appears warmer than ready-made blinds.

3. Normal curtain fabric practices

Generally speaking, the tatami windows will not affect the installation of curtains. You can install straight rails and curtains, or Roman rods, depending on the structure of the hard installation.

Tatami rooms are generally small, so it is recommended to use only a single layer of curtain cloth. If you add curtains, too much curtains will flutter, making the space look much smaller and easily cluttered.

What material is good for curtains?

80% of the medium-quality fabrics on the market are polyester fibers or polyester blends.

But we all know that different materials have different air permeability and light transmittance, and rooms in different areas have different requirements for light and ventilation, so the choice of material is a primary and important issue. But if you insist on installing the same one, then just ignore what I said.

Polyester fiber: Also known as "polyester", it is crisp, durable, wrinkle-resistant, drapey, and lint-free, and is made for curtains. 50-70 yuan/meter, 300 yuan for the whole thing.

Linen: Natural and Zen, comfortable and warm, but light-transmitting. 70-100 yuan/meter, custom-made is more expensive, it is better to buy ready-made.

Cotton cloth: moisture-absorbent and breathable, feels good to the touch, suitable for places that are frequently touched. 400 yuan is enough to cover a window.

Silk: It is expensive and delicate, and needs to be paired with a light-blocking lining. It is not recommended. It is better not to know.

Suede: warm and retro, but easily gets dusty and shrinks, and is also expensive, starting at at least 120 yuan, which can be considered affordable luxury.

To summarize:

If you need heat and sound insulation, polyester and cotton are better. Cotton and linen can adjust the light and make the room warm. Silk and velvet are expensive and difficult to take care of, so don't use them on a large scale. If you need to block light, you can choose blackout curtains.

The matching of curtain color and the overall home decoration style

When we choose curtains after the decoration is completed, we must pay attention to the matching of curtains with the overall home decoration style. We must reasonably match the color tones so that our home will look more warm and comfortable.

White curtains are very versatile in the entire home decoration and can be easily matched with any home decoration style!
