Stop hanging curtains casually! There is a kind of decoration that is overturned, that is, the curtains are ugly and leak light.

They all say decoration It is inevitable that there will be regrets, and it is difficult to be perfect. Everyone can understand this.

Actually, the invisible \”rollovers\” are not that important,The worst thing is the rollover scenes that can be seen at a glance when you get home, don’t be too upset!

Yes, that’s what I want to say todayCurtain.

No matter how many hard parts are installed in the early stageNo matter how hard you work, if you don’t choose the curtains well or install them wrongly in the later stage, all your previous efforts will be wasted in a matter of minutes.

So, how to choose and install curtains correctly?

Let’s take a look below.

Rollover Case 1: The curtains are short

▲\”Cropped pants\” effect curtains

Netizen @小水瓜的家:

It’s really life-saving. After the hard installation, I wanted to install it myself. I wanted to save some money, so I bought curtains online. The result was embarrassing, the shape was not finalized, and I measured the wrong size, and then Gained cropped trouser curtains.

When buying curtains online, it is easy to get the wrong size. If you have already had successful experience, you can buy them online.

▲It looks better 2 centimeters above the ground

If it is your first time, it is more reliable to let professionals from the physical store do the measurement, such as Curtains in the living room usually need to be about 2 centimeters off the ground.

Rollover Case 2: Light leakage all around

▲Light leakage all around

Netizen@confidence:This curtain is annoying every time I look at it. Light leaks from top to bottom, left and right, which is really annoying.

The problem of light leakage in curtains is really common. For example, the height of the curtain box is not enough, the track is wrong, the hook is wrong, the curtain size is wrong, etc., which will all lead to light leakage.

For side light leakage, we can pass Bent rail head way to keep the curtains close to the wall.

▲Bent track head

▲Bent closer to the wall

Take a typical U-shaped window as an example. It is really easy to leave a big gap on both sides. After bending the track head, you can make the edge of the curtain closer to the wall.If it is close, it will be difficult for light to come in.

▲Add magnetic buckle

If there is light leakage in the middle, you can use cross tracks or add magnetic buckles later.

If curtains have been installed at home,You can add this kind of magnetic buckle for later remediation, the problem of light leakage in the middle can be easily solved for 3 or 5 yuan.

▲Cross installation

If it has not been installed yet, it is recommended to install the track directly crosswise, which is easier to pull.

▲The finished cross track is easy to get stuck

Don\’t buy the kind of track with a direct cross design, it is very easy to get stuck and not smooth to pull up.

If there is light leakage from the top, mainly from the height of the curtain box, the choice of rails and the type of hooks.

▲Try not to choose Roman poles

First of all, try not to use Roman rods in the bedroom. If there is no curtain box reserved, you can try track top installation.

▲Hide the track

The roof-mounted track will also have the problem of light leakage. At this time, you can chooseBlackoutform.

▲Korean s hook

Confirm with the merchant when buying curtainsAdjustable hook, and agreed with the merchant to raise the curtains to cover the track and reserve a good height (about 2 cm higher).

▲Built-in curtain track

If the distance between the windows in your home and the top is too small, you can also do itembedded Orbit, make slots during hard installation,Pre-embed the track in advance. When grooving, remember to follow the track Judging from the size, it is enough to smooth it with oil later.

▲The curtain box is not deep enough

If you reserve the curtain box in advance,The depth of the curtain boxmust be left enough, at least 15 cm to be complete Block the light from the top of the curtain

▲Bedroom curtains should be 1 cm off the ground or mop the floor

If yes If light leaks from the bottom, it is recommended to mop the floor directly or 1 cm away from the ground to block the light to the greatest extent.

Rollover case three: red light

▲Red light

Netizen @momo:

On the first morning when I moved into my new home, I woke up and I laughed out loud, the red light coming from this curtain is too permeable

Good shading, no It means it will not turn red, Especially light-colored curtains are very easy to turn red, Especially the milk tea color which is very popular now

Because light has 7 bands, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple , and red has the longest and strongest wavelength. If your curtains transmit red light, it means that it blocks all other colors of light.

Good shading will emit red light, poor shading will emit yellow light, and those without shading will emit white light.

▲Without interlining vs with interlining

▲A more environmentally friendly remedy: add lining cloth

Solution There are two types: Or,Add a layer of lining fabric on the back, adding lining fabric can also increase its drape and heat insulation effect.

Or, solve the problem from the root,Just change to a curtain with higher light-blocking properties (woven into black silk).

Rollover Case 4: Curtains are not finalized

▲The curtains are not finalized

Netizen @ Juia:

I thought at first that the curtains were all the same, so I chose the mesh chenille herringbone fabric, but I didn’t expect that the single-layer curtains would be light-transmissive. My family did not choose high-temperature setting or Korean pleats. It\’s really ugly

The selection factor for curtains is high temperature setting (the key to drape and no wrinkles) +2 Double Korean pleats + 2 cm off the ground + blackout cloth (no redness)

Soft decoration really can’t be careless. It doesn’t mean that everything will be fine if you choose the right color. , don’t let your home just look good with filters

▲2x Korean pleats

This homeowner couldn’t stand it anymore and replaced the ugly curtains. This time he chose 2x Korean ones. Pleats, uniform colors, hooks + Roman poles, and a blackout cloth on the back.

# A super simple guide to choosing curtains

I have to admit that choosing curtains is a technical job.

Details such as style, size, material, hanging rods, tracks, etc. must be controlled well. If you are not careful, if one link is wrong, it will easily overturn.

# How to choose materials

First of all, it is highly recommended now The popularChenilleMaterial. It feels soft and has excellent drape. It is washable, has a high-end effect, has high opacity and is scratch-resistant.

Secondly, there are other things worth recommendingCotton and linenMaterial. The cotton and linen fabric has a concave and convex texture, which is both moisture-absorbent, breathable and skin-friendly. In addition, cotton and linen materials also have the advantages of preventing ultraviolet rays, inhibiting bacteria and anti-static, making it very suitable for the living room.

Finally, it is not recommended to choose high-precision materials and flannel materials. High-precision materials have poor air permeability, while velvet materials easily attract dust and generate static electricity.

# How to choose colors

① Universal matching principle

Let me tell you directly a universal matching principle: Prefer solid color or Dark pattern style, the color should match the color of the space background wall.

The color of the curtains can be one degree darker than the background wall, so that it looks layered without being too abrupt.

▲Cotton and linen retro green

② Directly copy the \”official match\”

Many decoration styles of curtains have \”official\” colors. Look online for inspiration, and just copy what you like.

For example, if the minimalist style is popular nowadays, then it can be directly matched with cream, gray, and white.

# How to choose the style

① Curtain

Traditional single-layer curtains are functionally sufficient in terms of light blocking and privacy.

▲cloth curtain + gauze curtain

The style of cloth curtain + gauze curtain is more popular now, and the combination of double-layer curtains will definitely have more atmosphere and layering.

② Gauze curtain

Gauze curtain recommendationPhantom yarn, it is truly light-transmitting and opaque, and it is not easy to snag. In addition, do not choose pure white for gauze curtains. Original white or off-white is softer.

Don\’t blindly pursue the weight of the gauze curtain. If it is too heavy, it will look like a piece of white cloth and lack the sense of elegance.

# How to choose slide rail hardware

Select withSilent barThe aluminum alloy slide rails can be used, and the internal pulleys can be made of resin, which is more cost-effective.

Don\’t choose ordinary double-pull slide rails. After closing the curtains, there will always be a gap in the middle that leaks light. Choosing misaligned rails is more practical and can be pulled tightly.
