"Ugly curtains ruin everything", don't hang these 4 types of curtains at home, you will understand after seeing them

Before I start, let me ask you a question: Do you think “hard decoration” is important, or “soft decoration” is important?

In fact, there is no standard answer to this question, but what is certain is that judging from the decoration trends in recent years, "light decoration, heavy decoration" is becoming more and more popular . The "decoration" mentioned here can basically be understood as "hard decoration", while "decoration" specifically refers to "soft decoration matching".

In this issue, we will focus on sharing a very important item in soft furnishing: [curtains] .

As I said in the picture above, "the appearance of curtains is positively correlated with the aesthetics of home". To put it bluntly, the appearance of curtains is directly related to the beauty of the home environment. On the contrary, it is what the title means, that is:

Ugly curtains ruin everything.

Next, I combined the real experiences of many netizens and the feedback from many fans to summarize “4 types” of curtains that are not suitable for hanging at home . I hope you can provide some reference for your friends!

1. Black curtains

Many people may not understand why some people would choose "black curtains"? In fact, I was also confused at first, but later I thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that black curtains, because of their "black" color, have a very strong light-blocking rate . Even if the light-blocking rate cannot be 100%, it must be 99%.

This is the fundamental reason why some people install black curtains.

Although the light blocking rate of black curtains is much higher than that of other colors, the disadvantage is also obvious. That is, it is easy to make the whole room look too dull or even "depressing" .

In the short term, this feeling of depression and dullness may not be obvious. But as you live in it for a long time, this feeling will gradually deepen. In fact, many people choose houses in the hope of better "lighting", which also means that good lighting and transparency give people a good feeling. However, black curtains are not "warm colors" in color.

The shortcomings mentioned above are naturally the key reason why black curtains are not popular enough.

After all, most people still prefer a relatively brighter visual experience. Of course, if you particularly like this "dark style", then you are free to choose~

2. Curtains that look a little weird

To be honest, when I was looking up materials about curtains online, I was really shocked when I saw the "dream curtains" above...

Hundreds of thousands of netizens were as surprised as I was. Everyone's comments on the curtains were surprisingly consistent. "A bit scary~", commented netizen @小期.

In addition to the curtains above, there are some curtains that look a little weird, such as the following:

When choosing curtains, the overall "shape" is also directly related to the aesthetics . It must be admitted that everyone has different aesthetic tastes, so their purchasing tendencies are also different.

For example, for the curtains installed on the "bay window" above, there is actually no need to choose "curtains" and "curtain screens". In terms of visual effect, it is a bit "cumbersome".

In fact, when you see this, you will find that the root cause of the "weird" curtains is actually whether the curtain structure is appropriate. After installing the curtains, screens, straps, tassels, etc. provided by the merchant, the effect may not be satisfactory, or to put it bluntly, it is "ugly".

3. Color matching curtains

I don't know when it started, but "color-blocked curtains" have entered countless homes. To be honest, when I was decorating my house, I chose color-blocked curtains for the entire house.

However, I have lived in my new home for less than three years now, and to be honest, I have seen enough, and I feel that it is not pure enough...

Compared with color matching curtains, "pure color curtains" are obviously cleaner and neater , and the beauty they bring is naturally incomparable to the former. And as long as the pure color curtains are not black, they can be completely integrated with the entire interior style.

Unlike the two-tone curtains above, the colors are too abrupt.

When you change the color-blocked curtains to solid-color curtains, the overall feeling of the room will also be improved. Take a look at the comparison below and you will understand!

Here I also suggest that if you buy another house, don’t choose “color matching curtains” when choosing curtains! Just like wall decoration, pure color latex paint is always more attractive than fancy wall cloth and wallpaper.

4. Curtains that are too bright

It is even more unacceptable to install curtains with more exaggerated and “overly bright colors” than color-blocked curtains. The reason is very simple:

When the color of the curtains is too bright or there are too many colors, it will lead to the feeling of "overshadowing the main feature" . After all, no matter how luxurious the decoration is, its color can never match the brightness of the curtains. And to be honest, the brighter the color of the curtains, the higher the risk of excessive formaldehyde (curtains are the second largest source of formaldehyde in the room after cabinets).

Home Furnishing Classroom: How to avoid choosing curtains with excessive formaldehyde? Do "smell first, look second"

Taking this opportunity to talk about curtains with overly bright colors, I would like to briefly share how to avoid choosing curtains that easily exceed the formaldehyde standard (by the way, many people may think that formaldehyde testers are more accurate, but as consumers, no one will have this thing ready~ so still take a look at the following points).

① Smell

To put it bluntly, when choosing curtains, try to go to offline stores to buy them. It is best to smell the curtains. If you can smell a pungent odor, it is best not to consider it. Even if the formaldehyde content is not excessive, there are still many other chemical elements.

② Second look

First of all, you should look at the "color". If the color of the curtains is too dark or there are too many colors, then don't consider it. Often, light-colored curtains have lower formaldehyde content, after all, the former uses more pigments!

Secondly, we need to look at the "craftsmanship" of the curtains. If the curtains have been specially treated for shrinking, wrinkle resistance, flatness, etc., there is also a possibility that the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard. So when purchasing, try to choose natural (artificial) textile curtains.

That’s all for this issue’s sharing on [curtains].

However, in order to provide you with more detailed curtain knowledge, I have compiled a very detailed "Curtain Buying Guide" (including the advantages and disadvantages of various curtain materials, etc.), as shown below:
