Curtain decoration is a kind of soft decoration in the home, its main function is to shield the sun and heat insulation, adjust indoor and outdoor lighting and privacy protection and other functions, of course, it is also decorative in itself.

Common styles of household curtains

1 Venetian blinds

Blinds are being used more and more in home furniture lately, and my personal feeling is that they are the most used in addition to cloth curtains. In addition to normal raising and lowering, blinds can also be used to adjust the angle of the curtains to control the amount of light injected. There are also many different materials to choose from, the common ones are PVC, wood, aluminum alloy, etc. When the sun comes in, the blind can create a special light and shadow effect in the room, which is a warm and artistic feeling.

2 roller blinds

Roller blinds are mostly polyester fibers, which are much better than cloth blinds in terms of waterproofing, so they are often used in kitchen and bathroom curtains in home decoration. Roller blinds are also less expensive than cloth blinds in most cases. Roller blinds are also selected in full light and semi-shade form. In addition to ordinary polyester material, there is also a straw curtain suitable for use in Chinese and Japanese styles.

3 Organ Curtains

Organ curtains are also called honeycomb curtains. From a distance, it looks a bit like a roller blind, but the structure of the roller blind is completely different from the recent ones. The curtain consists of a hollow retractable "honeycomb" structure. Generally, you can either pull it down or pull it up.

4 Roman shades

Roman curtains also come in many forms, such as folding, fan, wave, etc., most of which are made of fabrics, which are very different from ordinary curtains. However, because there are few people making Roman curtains, some curtain shops may not be able to process them.

5 Electric curtains

The price of smart electric curtains is calculated by the cost of the motor and installation labor. The price of Chuangzhihong Xiaobian online is about 400/1 meter (excluding curtains) fluctuates up and down. The windows must have electric motors, so more windows must be more expensive. That's the price of the track, if you want one layer of yarn and one layer of fabric to be electric, that's double the price, but I don't think it's necessary, the yarn can be used in a normal manual. Actually, there is no high-tech, that is to say, there are extra motors, and the tracks are slightly different from ordinary curtains. If you want to install electric curtains, remember to do water and electricity when leaving a socket above the window. How to reserve or sell electric curtains for specific locations .

Lifting type: honeycomb blinds, bamboo blinds, Roman blinds

There are many types of lift curtains, with a simple oriental texture, suitable for log wind collocation, and will visually elevate the space. 

Some people compare curtains to people's faces, saying that different curtains can create different "faces", and naturally have different lives. Indeed, as an important part of home decoration, curtains can lightly change the color and style of the room, give the home a new feeling, and even become a work of art to beautify the room and adjust the mood.

A simple pair of curtains, but many functions. Recognize curtains from function:

How to efficiently cut fabric curtains?

When processing curtain fabrics, there are two common cutting methods:
