When decorating a new house, details determine success or failure.

Curtains, as an indispensable part of home decoration, their selection and purchase is also a science.

When choosing curtains, we should not only consider aesthetics, but also practicality, durability and environmental protection.

Today, Qijia Anan will teach you 8 aspects of choosing curtains based on my experience of decorating three houses to help you stay away from these misunderstandings.

1. Curtain fabric

As the living room is an area where family members frequently gather, natural lighting and privacy protection need to be taken into consideration.

Therefore, it is recommended to choose cotton and linen curtains for the living room. This kind of fabric has good air permeability, wear resistance and durability, and has a certain light-blocking property.

As a place for rest, the bedroom needs better shading effect to ensure good sleep quality. Therefore, you can choose velvet curtains for the bedroom. This kind of fabric is thick and has a very good shading effect.

2. Material of gauze curtain

The main function of gauze curtains is to increase the hazy beauty of the room while protecting privacy.

Therefore, it is recommended to choose Tencel velvet curtains or herringbone curtains for the screen windows of the whole house. These two types of curtains are not only beautiful, but also easy to clean and maintain.

3. Curtain Track

Curtain tracks are an important part of curtains, and their quality directly affects the service life of curtains.

It is recommended to choose aluminum alloy slide rails, which are strong and durable, slide smoothly and are not easy to deform.

It is not recommended to choose Roman rods because they have limited load-bearing capacity, are easy to bend and deform, and are prone to light leakage.

4. Curtain hooks

Curtain hooks are the bridge connecting curtains and tracks, and their selection is equally important.

It is recommended to choose the Korean S hook, which has a simple and elegant design, strong load-bearing capacity, and is not easy to fall off.

The traditional four-claw hook is not recommended because it is easy to fall off and is not conducive to long-term use.

5. Curtain Color

The choice of curtain color should be determined according to home style and personal preference.

However, from a practical point of view, it is recommended to choose solid color curtains, which are simple and elegant, easy to match with various home styles, and not easy to go out of style.

If you are not absolutely sure, it is not recommended to try color-matching curtains easily, because it is difficult to match. Once the wrong colors are matched, it is easy to fail, giving people a messy feeling and appearing tacky.

6. Curtain folds

Curtain pleats can make the curtains more beautiful and elegant, while enhancing their light-blocking effect.

It is recommended to choose curtains with 1.8-2.5 times pleats. This pleat ratio can make the curtains droop more naturally and enhance their three-dimensional effect.

Curtains with 1.5 times pleats are not recommended because their pleats are smaller in proportion, which will affect the shading effect and aesthetics.

7. Curtain Craft

The quality of curtain craftsmanship directly affects its service life and appearance.

If you have a large budget, it is recommended to choose high-temperature shaped and drooping curtains. This type of curtain is simple and elegant in craftsmanship, not easy to wrinkle, and can present a neat effect. It is more crisp and three-dimensional, creating a sense of luxury.

Curtains that droop naturally often appear messy and lack a sense of neatness. Although they give people a casual and natural feeling, such curtains give people a cheap feeling and lower the overall style of the home.

8. Pricing Method

Finally, about the pricing method of curtains.

In ordinary residential buildings, the fixed-height cloth pricing method is relatively economical and affordable.

Because the floor heights of ordinary residences are relatively uniform, the use of fixed-height cloth can ensure that the size of the curtains matches actual needs and avoid waste.

However, for some special places, such as living rooms or exhibition halls with higher heights, fixed-width fabrics have more advantages.

The price of fixed-width cloth is calculated according to the length. For places with higher heights, the length of the curtains will increase accordingly, and the price of fixed-width cloth will be more economical.

To sum up, all aspects of curtain selection are covered, from material to color, from craftsmanship to price, each of which has its specific considerations and recommended choices.

I hope these suggestions can provide useful reference for friends who are decorating their new homes, so that you can choose curtains that are both beautiful and practical and avoid misunderstandings.
