Curtains not only block light and beautify the interior space, but also reflect the owner's taste and interest in life. A simple and elegant curtain can be the icing on the cake for the room. In addition to the decorative function, the material, function and comfort of curtains are also closely related to our health and life.

Curtains are an essential fabric item in home furnishings. Whether in our living room or bedroom, beautiful and suitable curtains can always bring us a good mood for the day. Many people always think that they can just pick whatever curtains they like, but don't underestimate this piece of cloth. If you don't choose it well, it will ruin the overall comfort of the bedroom! Today, I will talk about the selection of bedroom curtains.

1. Color selection

The color of curtains will affect our sleep quality. Choosing neutral and stable colors can relieve people's tension and make the room more elegant.

The bedroom is a place for rest. Try not to use too pure colors or too strong contrast. Keep it light so that you can sleep well. The bedroom sometimes needs sunlight, but sometimes it doesn't. So it's best to choose curtains with good light-blocking properties to adjust the sunlight at any time. Also pay attention to curtains with good ventilation properties to keep the indoor air fresh.

Young people can choose light green and light blue, which are fresh, natural and cheerful. For couples, when choosing bedroom curtain colors, it is best to choose a color that both parties like. In addition, it is also very important to choose a warmer color. Of course, different curtain colors should be chosen according to the changes of the four seasons. The best curtain color is the one that can be used in all four seasons. White, green, blue, orange and other curtain colors are all good.

For the bedroom of the elderly, it is appropriate to choose solemn and elegant colors, which are more in line with the psychological quality of the elderly. Generally speaking, double-layer curtains are more suitable for the elderly. One layer of light gauze curtains can be drawn during the day to properly adjust the indoor brightness and protect the elderly's eyes from strong light stimulation. The other layer is made of thick cotton curtains, which have good air permeability and can ensure a certain degree of warmth, especially at night, to prevent the elderly from catching cold. At the same time, heavy curtains can create a quiet environment and are conducive to sleep.

The curtains in children's bedrooms generally have innocent and romantic imagination. In order to meet the growth needs of children, when choosing the color of the curtains in children's rooms, brightly colored curtains are generally selected, preferably curtains with cute cartoon patterns, which children like and are helpful to their growth.

Matching curtain colors with other soft furnishings

When choosing curtain fabrics, you should consider the color and pattern, as well as the feel, durability and drape of the fabric. The overall style should match the furniture. The color of the curtains should match the color of the walls, floors and furnishings in the room to create a unified and harmonious environment.

The color and style of the curtains should match the furniture in the bedroom as much as possible. Curtains, bedding, chairs, and pillows together form the fabric system of the bedroom space.

For spacious and larger rooms, you can choose curtains with darker colors, which will help alleviate the feeling of loneliness and emptiness.

For rooms that are relatively small and have compact furniture arrangements, light-colored curtains can be used, which will help expand the sense of space visually.

If you live in a noisy place such as a school or street, and there are no noise-canceling facilities on the doors and windows, it is crucial to choose curtains with sound-absorbing effects. Curtains made of flocking, cotton, and linen are relatively good in sound-absorbing effects.

For sunny rooms, you can choose some blinds or roller blinds with good heat-insulating and light-isolating properties. They are not only light and beautiful, but also can keep the heat out of the window.

2. Curtain style

When it comes to curtain style, the most important thing is of course to choose one that suits the overall style of your home.

If you like Japanese

Japanese style tends to be quiet and elegant, and the color of the curtains is generally neutral, that is, colors without hue (white, black, brown, etc.). If the color of your floor is dark, then don't choose dark curtains. Choosing light-colored curtains can amplify the visual effect of the room and neutralize the gloom of the dark floor. If the color of your floor is light, when choosing light-colored curtains, pay attention to the color of the furniture. It can't be too light, which will make the whole space too "floating". The feeling of "floating" is a feeling of not being stable, feeling, and level.

One is a bamboo or wooden retractable blind, which is environmentally friendly, beautiful and consistent in style.

You can also choose the following cotton and linen sliding curtains. Ordinary cotton and linen curtains are generally very thin and have poor light blocking properties. We can make two layers, one dark and one light, to create a more layered feel.

If you like something more modern.

Solid color series: Generally, the style with a strong sense of modernity also advocates simplicity, but is slightly bolder in the use of colors and materials.

If you want a sense of quality, you can choose this velvet material, but your house cannot be too small when using curtains made of this material, because the gloss and thickness of the velvet material will enhance the sense of weight in the room.

If you want the interior to look fresh and neat, you can choose this solid-colored polyester curtain with a moderate drape, or stick to the choice of double-layer curtains, one for blackout and one for light transmission. If you want the interior to look fresh and neat, you can choose this solid-colored polyester curtain with a moderate drape, or stick to the choice of double-layer curtains, one for blackout and one for light transmission.

If it is a single piece, you can choose a slightly thicker fabric, which has better light-shielding properties.

Contrast color series

Use two colors with contrasting hues for color matching. It is recommended that the proportion of brighter colors be smaller, because colors that are too bright will cause visual fatigue if placed in the home for a long time.

Same color

Choose different brightness in the same hue (brightness is the degree of brightness of two colors when you squint your eyes) and match them with printed curtains. In a modern home decoration style, Yijianjun does not recommend using too specific patterns. Stripes are the best, after all, they are simple, beautiful and generous.

Too complicated patterns have an aesthetic shelf life. After a while, you may wonder: Why did I hang up such a curtain in the first place?

Plaid curtain fabrics are also fresh and literary, but be careful not to choose blue plaid fabrics, otherwise you will feel a strong science and engineering atmosphere.

If you like the palace style

Prints, contrasting colors, various decorations, curtains and so on are all available!

If you don’t want something as complicated as a print, solid colors can also create a court-style effect, as long as the necessary elements are still there (decorations, curtains, etc.).

But please note that although there are many palace-style prints, you should never put colorful printed curtains in your home, as it will look cheap.

If you like minimalist style

There are only three colors (black, white and gray).

Whether it is thin or thick, black, white or your favorite green (hypothesis), minimalist curtains need solid colors! A piece of cloth is the best!

3. Fabric selection

Curtain fabrics are generally natural cotton, artificial cotton, polyester, acrylic, etc. When choosing curtain fabrics, it is recommended to use pure cotton or linen fabrics, and try to use less chemical fiber fabrics, which have poor air permeability. There are many types of fabrics, and people tend to focus on choosing patterns when choosing fabrics.

Cotton and linen are more suitable materials for curtains, as they are easy to clean and replace. Although gauze curtains are fresh and flowing, they are easily stained with dust and are not very convenient to clean.

The texture of curtain fabrics should also be considered seasonally and should be changed frequently. In summer, curtains should be made of soft fabrics to keep them cool and breathable; in winter, thick woolen fabrics should be used to keep them warm; floral curtains are suitable for all seasons, but are especially lively and bright in spring.

Finally, the curtains should be cleaned at least once every six months.
