For families who moved to their new homes in the New Year, most of the renovation projects have been completed, and they have to start to decorate their new homes. It is the easiest way to make the holiday house look brand-new and adjust the curtain fabric. However, many people find that it is not easy to make the best choice among many curtain fabrics. In fact, the style, hanging mode, avant-garde colors and popular accessories of curtains will change different decorative effects. Therefore, as long as you add your own ideas, you don't have to worry about similarity.
1. Window decoration needs to be tailored to the window.
? There are many changes in the apartment type of a single commercial house, and the shape of the window is also varied at first, so understanding the characteristics of the window type is the first step in choosing curtains.
Casement windows, short and wide, are typical windows in modern houses. If there is no deep windowsill or radiator, it will be better to choose a curtain.
Viewing window, equipped with large pieces of glass, with large area and much cloth, needs to use heavy curtain rail with mechanical devices such as pulling rope;
Bay window, a tall bay window can be a floor curtain composed of several independent curtains. Between the windows, each curtain is tied separately, and each curtain is connected into a whole with a continuous curtain box. If the bay window is small or arc-shaped, it can be decorated as a whole, using double curtains, and each layer can be completely pulled to both sides of the window;
Generally speaking, it is best to treat double windows as a whole when decorating.
2. Choose fabric and ask "shrinkage rate"
? The price of curtain cloth is influenced by the texture of fabric. Cotton, hemp, silk and wool are more expensive, but they are also the most popular among consumers. At present, price is not the main factor that affects consumers, but the novelty of color design has become the primary factor to attract consumers. For example, some new designs of group flowers and broken flowers are the most popular. However, these fabrics have a certain shrinkage rate. When buying, you should "let go" and shrink the size. At present, there is no national standard for shrinkage, and the standard implemented in Europe is 3% to 5%. You'd better ask when you buy it.
Curtains made of man-made fibers and synthetic fibers are superior to cotton and linen fabrics in shrinkage resistance, fading resistance and wrinkle resistance, and are suitable for rooms with strong sunshine. However, many modern fabrics are blended with natural fibers and artificial fibers or synthetic fibers, so both have advantages.
3. When choosing the texture of curtains, we should also consider the function of the room. For example, bathrooms and kitchens should choose practical and washable fabrics. The fabric should be able to withstand the pollution of steam and grease and have a simple and smooth style. Living room and dining room can choose luxurious and beautiful fabrics. Bedroom curtains should be thick, warm and safe. The curtains in the study should be transparent and bright, and adopt elegant colors. In addition, the choice of cloth also depends on the room's demand for light. In the case of sufficient light, you can choose gauze, cotton cloth or silk cloth. If the indoor light is too strong, you should choose a thick wool blend or brocade as a curtain to resist the strong light; The requirements for indoor light are not very strict. Generally, plain printed cotton cloth or linen is the best.
Kitchen, bathroom, etc. Because of humidity and oil smoke, it is more suitable to use shutters. In addition, leisure rooms and tea rooms are more suitable to use wooden or bamboo blinds, and balconies should use sun-resistant and colorfast curtains.
4. Don't steal the limelight of accessories.
? Curtain accessories are as important to curtains as jewelry and clothing are to women, not the more the better. A small curtain fitting with suitable lining can sometimes become a great contributor to the change of curtain style, while a good curtain sometimes loses its aesthetic feeling because of inappropriate cumbersome fittings. Therefore, carefully selecting curtain accessories is also a work that cannot be ignored in the process of family decoration.
Cloth is the most common decoration of curtains, and there are other hardware, leather, plastic, glass fiber or ceramic products. According to different personal preferences, different materials and components can produce different curtain styles.
The curtain rod is used to hang the whole curtain cloth, and at the same time it plays the role of driving the curtain cloth to close left and right. Curtain rails can be divided into art rails and sound elimination rails according to the function of accessories. Art track refers to making curtain rail into the shape of art, and installing various decorations on curtain or curtain rail, such as ordinary folk souvenirs, souvenirs picked up by tourists, shells, animal models, sculptures, candlesticks, carpets, statues, mirrors, etc.
