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, so choose warm and heavy curtains to increase the temperature. If there are windows facing east or west at home, shading is the most important purpose of curtains. Shading curtains can not only block strong light, but also keep indoor brightness, and make full use of natural light to illuminate the room. The light of windows, street lamps and billboards near busy blocks is also very strong at night. In order to have a stable sleep, thicker curtains are needed to cover it.

2. Flat curtains are the most versatile.

Flat curtains are the most common style. Simple, no decoration, random size, hanging and pulling type, suitable for most windows. According to the width of the window, the curtain can be designed as one-sided flat pull type and double-sided flat pull type, generally taking1.5m as the boundary reference. The curtain-lifting curtain 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 at will. The style with curtain head is more complicated to make, but the decorative effect is better. It can block the rough curtain rail and the space between the curtain top and the roof, making the room more tidy and beautiful.

3. Choosing the right curtain head can save the effort of opening and closing.

There are many ways to connect curtains and curtain rods: directly punch holes in the cloth to facilitate pulling back and forth; The front of the outer cloth bag looks beautiful, but it is difficult to pull it back and forth because of the large friction between the cloth and the rod, especially when the size of the cloth bag is similar to the diameter of the rod. The form of sling is very simple, suitable for lighter fabrics; The way to tie it is not easy to pull, which is suitable for windows that don't move often and only play a decorative role. It is recommended to buy curtain rings, which are easy to open and easy to disassemble and replace.

4. Curtains are also low-carbon.

In the north, heating is usually installed under the window, unless you choose the length of the hem to the windowsill. If it is a floor curtain, you must choose a fabric with good heat resistance, which will not prevent the heat of the heating from radiating indoors. Rooms facing east or west will be stimulated by intense sunlight for several hours every day, so it is necessary to use specially treated cloth or neutral cloth, otherwise it will fade or change color, and it is best to have certain heat insulation performance.

5. Color of curtains

Choosing warm curtains in the living room can give people a sense of hospitality. The curtains in the study should be neutral and cold. The bedroom should choose curtains with smooth and static colors, so that the room looks elegant but not cold. In restaurants, yellow and orange can stimulate appetite, while white has a clean feeling. When the color contrast between the floor and furniture is strong, you can choose the floor color as the center; When the contrast between the background color and the furniture color is weak, you can choose the furniture color as the center; If neither the floor color nor the furniture color can be used as a reference, you can also choose the color system of the curtain according to the lighting color. Warm orange can be matched with cool colors such as beige and fruit green, while neutral milky white can be matched with warm colors such as beige, light coffee and reddish.

6. Accurately measure the cloth quantity and know fairly well.

Accurate measurement can not only predict the purchase amount of cloth, but also make the curtains more beautiful in details. It is suggested to use a ruler made of metal to measure. Whether rail installation or curtain rod installation is selected, the hem of curtain should be above the window sill 15cm. The window itself should be on both sides of the curtain 15-20cm, so as to look good. When measuring the width, do not measure the window itself, but the curtain rod or track. If it is a curtain opened on both sides, remember to reserve an overlapping part in the middle, about 2.5 cm. The length of the curtain needs to be determined according to the position of the hem. If it is on the windowsill, the distance is 1.25 cm, and it is 15 cm under the windowsill. The floor-standing hem is 1.5 cm on the ground.

7. Use curtains to ensure privacy

Some buildings will have an L-shaped layout, or the space between buildings is relatively small. If you don't want to be exposed to your neighbors' eyes, you should hang curtains all year round. Such curtains should not only transmit light well, but also block the outside view. Living on the first floor or in a villa has the same problem. At least two curtains should be installed.
