Curtains occupy a prominent position in a room, so in a sense, they determine the room's expression and also reflect the owner's taste and interests. In fact, besides their decorative function, the material, functionality, and comfort level of curtains are closely related to our health.
Curtains can be categorized by material into cotton, linen, gauze, satin, flocked, bamboo, synthetic fibers, and so on. Among them, cotton and linen are commonly used materials for curtains, easy to wash and replace, suitable for bedrooms; gauze curtains are highly decorative, enhancing the room's depth and allowing good light transmission, suitable for living rooms and balconies; satin and flocked curtains have delicate textures, luxurious and bright, with good light-blocking and soundproofing effects, but are relatively expensive; bamboo blinds have clear textures, good lighting effects, and are wear-resistant, moisture-proof, mildew-proof, and colorfast, suitable for living rooms and balconies; synthetic fiber curtains are relatively stiff, easy to wash and durable, with good sunshade properties; Venetian blinds are popular, and when choosing, you can first touch the slats to see if they are smooth and free of burrs, then hang the curtain flat and try pulling it to see if it opens smoothly, and finally rotate the adjustment rod to check if the slats flip freely. Additionally, some wooden curtains use adhesives that can cause indoor pollution, so households with children, elderly, or pregnant women should choose carefully.
When people buy curtains, they usually consider their decorative aspect, but actually, more attention should be paid to the following aspects:
1. Noise reduction. Research shows that when continuous indoor noise pollution reaches 30 decibels, it interferes with normal sleep. Therefore, choosing a curtain with sound-absorbing effects is crucial, with flocked, cotton, and linen materials being preferable. Generally, the thicker the curtain, the better the sound absorption; high-quality curtains can reduce external noise by 10%–20%.
2. Light blocking. If you want to take a comfortable nap during the day, it is best to choose a curtain with light-blocking effects for the bedroom, preferably made of cotton or flocked fabric. For study rooms and dining rooms, strong light is usually not needed, so Venetian blinds can be chosen to adjust the light.
3. Warmth. In winter, curtains need to consider warmth. Flocked curtains are thick and have good insulation. According to Japanese interior designers' research, among all colors, dark red is the warmest and suitable for winter use.
4. Mood adjustment. If the curtain color is too dark, over time it can make people feel depressed; overly bright colors are also not good. Some newlyweds like to choose bright-colored curtains, but over time, this can cause visual fatigue and irritability. Actually, it is better to keep it simple and choose natural, fresh colors like light green or pale blue, which can make people feel happy. People who have trouble sleeping can try curtains combining red and black, which help to fall asleep quickly.
