How to choose curtains in the bedroom of the elderly

When choosing curtains in a room, we should not only look good, like it or not, but more importantly, consider its function. Jiang Dezhen, a professor at Peking University Research Center on Aging, believes that when people get old, their psychology and physiology will change. The choice of curtains should also be based on adapting to these changes of the elderly, so as to be beneficial to their physical and mental health. The arrangement of curtains in elderly rooms should be considered from three aspects. Jiang Dezhen said that one is the fabric of the curtain, the other is the color and pattern of the curtain, and the third is the style of the curtain. Generally speaking, double curtains are more suitable for the elderly. During the day, you can draw a thin gauze curtain and adjust the indoor brightness appropriately to protect the eyes of the elderly from strong light. The other layer is a thick cotton curtain, which is breathable and can ensure a certain degree of warmth, especially at night, which can prevent the elderly from catching cold. At the same time, heavy curtains can create a quiet environment, which is conducive to sleep. Because old people's eyes are not as sharp as young people's and they are afraid of stimulation, the color of curtains should not be too dark or too bright. For example, black is too dark, which makes the room look dark and affects the mood of the elderly; The white and red ones are too bright and easy to shake to the eyes. Dark blue curtains are generally better. The design of curtains is mainly simple and clear. Jiang Dezhen said that the pattern should be striped, simple and generous, and the depth should be matched. Don't choose those fancy curtains that are too big or with complicated patterns, which will easily lead to dizziness for the elderly.
