Four steps to avoid the misunderstanding of curtain purchase and easily choose good curtains

The renovation is finally over, and the rest is the soft part. Soft dressing is like putting makeup on Su Yan's sister paper, which can make her look more beautiful. Many owners are worried. Buying curtains in soft clothes is a big problem. There are many kinds of curtains in the market, with different quality, styles and accessories. How can I choose the curtain that suits my home best? Don't worry, Bian Xiao will help you.

Point? 1.？ Fold as much as possible.

Judging from Bian Xiao's visit to the market, the sales staff of curtain products usually recommend twice the width to consumers. A salesperson of a curtain shop introduced to Bian Xiao that consumers are now advised to buy curtain cloth with twice the width, mainly because the curtain with twice the fold has obvious three-dimensional folds after opening, which is more beautiful. Some consumers blindly pursue more discounts, which is actually unnecessary. Some curtains are light and soft, and the amount of wrinkles can be increased appropriately, using 2.5 times or 3 times; Ordinary woolen fabric, 20% discount is enough.

Of course, the 20% discount curtain cloth is also doubled in price. From an economic point of view, consumers can also buy according to the actual size of the window or the width of the track. This flat curtain without wrinkles can show advantages in curtain making methods, such as roller blinds and roman blinds. Moreover, the fabric will save a lot more than double folding, or directly use colored fabrics as curtains, which also requires the fabric pattern to have a sense of design and decoration.

The width of curtain cloth is generally 2.8 meters and 1.5 meters, and the fabric with a width of 2.8 meters is generally selected, so that the finished curtain will not have flat seams. The calculation of curtain cloth is divided into width and height. The width is calculated as the window width of 1.4m, and can be increased by about 20-30cm. In terms of height, if a track is installed, directly measure the height from the roof to the ground. If curtain rods are installed, measure from the installation height of curtain rods.

Point? 2.？ The number of floors depends on the spatial function.

Bian Xiao saw in the curtain shop that many sample curtains are double-layered, and there is a gauze curtain inside the ordinary curtain cloth. Sales staff said that the role of gauze curtain is to be beautiful and to protect privacy. After many curtains were opened, the whole window was exposed. At this time, using a thin gauze curtain can protect privacy without losing light.

Not all curtains need two layers. It is best to use double curtains in pure private spaces such as bedrooms; The study and living room can use a layer of curtains, thin curtain cloth or thicker gauze, which can not only isolate the sun, but also keep translucent with the outside world.

When choosing gauze curtain, the color should be close to the curtain, and the same color system should be chosen, and the contrast should not be too big. If the design and color of the curtain are very complicated, then try to embody some elements in the curtain on the gauze curtain; If the curtain itself is simple and elegant, the tulle curtain can directly choose plain colors such as white or a small amount of transparent jacquard.

Point? 3.？ Non-essential parts increase the overall price.

Various curtain designs with complex shapes include various curtain accessories and accessories. The necessary accessories for curtains include cross bars or curtain rods, hooks or curtain rings, and cloth belts.

Curtain accessories include window cherry, curtain ring or hanging ring, lead wire, sling, ball tie, lace and so on. These accessories and accessories are decorative things. Too many accessories not only increase the overall price of curtains, but also are difficult to take care of and troublesome to clean.

The general merchant's asking price for the cloth belt in the accessories is 15 yuan/meter, and the curtains are several meters long; The function of lead wire is to make the curtains feel better. Whether the lead wire has little effect on the curtain, add one at the bottom of the curtain if necessary. Some merchants will add lead wire on the left and right sides, which will increase the cost of consumers invisibly.

If lace is added to the hem of the curtain, there will be more kinds of accessories, such as flounces, lace, beaded lace, rows of whiskers and so on. In addition, curtain heads have different shapes and are sold at a fixed price per square meter according to the complexity. The cheaper water wave curtain costs two or three hundred yuan, and the double curtain head costs more than 500 yuan.

Generally, the necessary accessories for curtains are not very profitable for merchants. Curtain shops will claim to process curtains for consumers free of charge. In fact, many production costs will be invisibly added to some unnecessary accessories. For a window with a width of 1.4m, if you buy curtain cloth with a width of 150 yuan/m, the total price of necessary accessories is more than 800 yuan. But if you add curtain head, lead wire, lace, hanging belt, ball and other accessories and accessories, the total price is nearly 2000 yuan.

Point? 4.？ Natural materials are more environmentally friendly.

The environmental protection performance of curtains has also attracted consumers' attention. Bian Xiao learned from the curtain market that many pure cotton and linen or curtain fabrics containing cotton and linen are more popular.

Natural curtain cloth is more environmentally friendly, but it can't be avoided that some small factories print and dye pure cotton embryo cloth with environmentally unfriendly slurry. Therefore, when buying curtains, we should pay attention to choosing products from large manufacturers as much as possible. Generally, the products of big factories are series, and there can be several samples of different patterns, and the samples will be changed every year. If there are only a few manufacturers of products, they may all be small manufacturers, and the quality may not be guaranteed.

Secondly, we should feel the hand and look at the color. Many good quality fabrics feel soft and smooth, so you can pick them up to see if the texture of the fabrics is neat and delicate. The products of big manufacturers should be soft in color, layered and shiny.

In addition, consumers can check the label of the fabric, and judging by the material content, the fabric with a large proportion of natural materials will be relatively more environmentally friendly than the material of pure chemical fiber.

● Choose a softer color.

Curtains play a decorative role in indoor soft clothes. When choosing curtain color, we should pay attention to the influence of curtain color on mood. Studies have found that colors with too strong a color, such as red, will stimulate people's nerves and easily get emotional after long-term use; Too dark color will give people a feeling of depression, dullness and loss. Therefore, it is best to match or choose a softer color according to the color of furniture.

● Add interlining to avoid fading.

Some natural materials, such as cotton and linen, are used to make curtains, which will inevitably fade after a long period of sun exposure. Adding a layer of interlining on the back of these fabrics can effectively prevent fading, increase the thickness of the fabrics and make the visual effect of the curtains more layered.

● Don't wear suspenders if you have children at home.

Decorations such as belts and ropes on curtains are potential "hidden dangers". Children at home should try to avoid buying curtains with ropes. If you must buy it, you'd better do a good job of safety protection and put the curtain rope out of the reach of children.

The above is the curtain purchase method carefully arranged by Bian Xiao for you. Owners follow these methods when decorating, so they will not be trapped in the problem of curtain purchase. Learn more about curtains and pay attention to Tuba Rabbit Decoration Channel.
