In the interior decoration, the curtains play the role of protecting privacy, using light, decorating the wall, and sound absorption and noise. Depending on the weight of the function, there are many different combinations of curtain selection.

First, from the function to know the curtains

1. Protect privacy. For a family, no one likes their own actions in the eyes of others. From this point of view, different indoor areas have different standards for privacy concerns. The public activities area of ​​family members such as the living room has lower requirements for privacy. Most of the family living rooms open the curtains, and in most cases are decorated. For the bedroom, the restroom, etc., people not only can't see it, but they can't even see the shadow. This has caused different problems in the selection of curtains in different areas. In the living room we may choose a fabric that is translucent, while the bedroom uses a thicker fabric.

2. Use light. In fact, the principle of protecting privacy is still handled in terms of blocking light. The use of light as used herein refers to the problem of effectively utilizing light in the case of protecting privacy. For example, the living room on the first floor does not like people walking around and seeing every move in the room. But long-term thick curtains affect natural lighting. So a light curtain like a gauze came into being.

3. Decorative wall surface. Curtains are the biggest decoration on the wall for many ordinary families. It is still for some of the "four white landings" of some simple homes, except for a few frames, there may be curtains left on the wall. Therefore, the choice of curtains is beautiful or not, and may often play a decisive role. Similarly, for hard-wearing homes, the right curtains will make the home more beautiful and more personal.

4, sound absorption and noise reduction. We know that in the part of the sound, the treble is transmitted in a straight line, and the reflectivity of the window glass to the treble is also very high. Therefore, having a curtain of appropriate thickness will improve the reverberation effect of the indoor sound. Similarly, thick curtains are also good at absorbing some of the noise from the outside and improving the sound environment in the room.

Therefore, the choice of curtains, design style is the first requirement. In other words, all the factors of the curtains must first be matched with the style of the interior. At this point, you need to consult your interior designer more to match the design of the curtains to the interior design.

2, the function needs. From the functional requirements described, you need to choose the thickness of the curtains based on the design style. In general, there are two ways:

Third, choose the color from the design

Even with the same kind of fabric, the colors are very varied. Choosing the chosen suit has a great influence on the form of the design.

1. The main color of the curtain should be compatible with the main color of the room. Complementary or near-color is allowed, but the extreme contrast between cold and warm is a big taboo.

2, modern design can choose plain curtains; elegant design can choose light curtains; rural style can choose small curtains; and luxurious design can choose plain or large flower curtains.
