How to choose blinds near me material?

Cotton and linen curtains: soft and comfortable, good air permeability and light transmittance, but lack of elasticity, not suitable for bedroom (log style can be considered); 

Velvet curtains: heavy and steady, with good drape, but easy to hang soil and shrink when washed (retro style can be considered); 

High-precision curtains: vertical and soft, high gloss and flatness, high price; (New Chinese style or luxury style can be considered); Ordinary families suggest choosing polyester, which is cheap, stylish, wrinkle-resistant, drape well and cost-effective.

How to choose window screening?

Don’t choose velvet gauze curtain, which is easy to snag and not resistant to dirt. You can choose chiffon material, which is transparent, light, hazy and full of atmosphere. But those who pay attention to privacy in the bedroom should not choose chiffon, they can choose phantom yarn, and the living room should choose diamond yarn or vertical louver brightly.

How to choose the color of blinds near me?

The choice of curtain color is very simple, either with the same color as the wall or with the same color as the furniture. It is OK to be one degree darker than their basic color, and it is best to have a solid color, which is more atmospheric. The contrast colors of color matching are generally obvious, which is not very easy to control. It is estimated that it looks good when folded, but once it is opened, the decorative effect is not as good as the solid color.

How many times is the curtain pleat better?

It is good to use 2 folds for large windows and 2.3 folds for small curtains or bay windows. Choosing 1.5 times is the most economical, but the effect is close to the plane and there is no three-dimensional sense. Choosing 1.8 times is the most economical and effective. But to tell the truth, the curtain is not much different between 1.8 times and 2 times. If you want the effect, it is recommended to make 2 times folds, which is more stereoscopic and looks more atmospheric. Of course, if you are a large apartment or villa with high windows, it is recommended to choose 2.5 times.

Which installation method to choose?

No matter whether there is a ceiling or not, you should make a curtain box and add a silent track. It is best to walk around the double-eyelid ceiling and connect the curtain box, which is shading and atmospheric. Roman pole is selected without curtain box, but it is easy to leak light around, so it is not recommended to install it in the bedroom. Note that it is best to install cross double rails or magnetic sliding beads on the track, otherwise the middle is not tightly pulled and it is easy to leak light. After installation, the curtain should be 2 cm away from the ground. The size of the curtain box is for your reference:

Ordinary curtain:

Monorail: 15-17cm; double track: 18-20cm.

Electric curtain:

Monorail: 22-24cm Double track: 25-28cm

How to choose the shading degree?

1 curtain on a window

The biggest function of curtains is shading. If you want to sleep well, you should choose curtains with shading rate above 90% in the bedroom. Even if you want to rest during the day, there will be no problem. The shading degree of the living room does not need to be too high, as long as it meets the functions of heat insulation and dust prevention, and the shading rate is about 40%.
