With the warming of the season, people's outdoor activities increase, and the noise outside the window needs curtains to cover it.
If you want to get better sound absorption effect, generally speaking, the thicker the curtain, the stronger its sound absorption, such as flocking, cotton, hemp and other curtains.

Because of the diversity of huxing and windows, what is the choice of curtains? Adapt to local conditions? .
Transverse window: For this short and wide typical window, if there is no deep balcony and radiator, then the floor curtain is a better choice.
Indecent viewing window: This kind of window is equipped with a large piece of glass, with a large area and a lot of curtain cloth, which requires the use of heavy curtain rails with mechanical devices such as pulling ropes.
Bay window: For the tall bay window, you can accept the floor-to-ceiling curtain composed of several independent curtains, 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 curved, it can be decorated as a whole. Accept double curtains, each layer can be completely pulled to both sides of the window.
Detail 4: The curtain marks are very special.
The stripes and patterns of curtains should be coordinated with the window size of the room, the age experience of the occupants, and the interior decoration and furniture style.
If the window is short, try not to choose horizontal stripes or small floral patterns to accept vertical stripes. On small windows, we should stop choosing curtains with large patterns, otherwise the windows will become narrower. The stripes of curtains should be straight and not inclined, otherwise it will cause the illusion that the windows are inclined.
Detail 5: Selection of curtain color
In the living room, choose warm curtains to set off a warm atmosphere. You can choose fresh green curtains in the study to create a natural, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. In the bedroom, you can choose balanced colors to bring a soft, comfortable and leisurely visual experience.

Lead wire: a metal wire made of a small lead segment with a diameter of 0.5 cm, which is used for the hem of curtain cloth to increase the drape of curtain. Its dosage is generally equal to the total number of meters at the lower edge of the bought cloth and yarn. Of course, if the drape of the fabric is already good, the lead wire can be omitted.
