The road is slippery in the dark, the society is complicated, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, where can they not be knifed. – Lu Xun
Hello everyone, I am Lao Yu (Wealth Eyes View the World), today is the fifth bullet of Lao Yu to help you step on the pit, for those friends who are ready to start decorating the house to provide some reference, to avoid unnecessary trouble and stepping on the pit. There is a pit I will step on, experience you to pick!
Last week, I shared with you how to avoid the pitfalls in several aspects of decoration budget, decoration materials, decoration company selection, and soft decoration. At this point, the entire process of decoration has basically been completed, and there is a very key step in order to make your house a home – curtains. Because the curtains need to be customized, this one should also be selected in advance. This content is taken out separately for an issue, because this thing has too many pits and too big, and it must be explained in detail!

Curtains are often the last step after all furniture and appliances have entered the field and the house is cleaned. Curtains may not seem so important, but they are actually a very important link. A house goes from house to home, and curtains are the final touch. When you finish all the renovation work except the curtains, your house is not yet a complete home, but when you hang the curtains and wait for the moment you open them, the feeling of home is immediately complete. But when choosing curtains, you probably don’t know that the pit of curtains is actually very large.
1. Curtain fabric and yarn
The main functions of curtains are shading, noise reduction, dust prevention, decoration, etc. Generally, I will choose to customize in the curtain store, choose my favorite fabric, my favorite décor, style, etc. What you need to know when choosing curtains is that curtains are not just about choosing curtain cloth, nor is it just curtain cloth. A complete set of curtains includes: curtain main cloth, curtain yarn, track or Roman rod, curtain cable tie, hook, ring, Roman club head, Roman rod bracket, curtain curtain, etc. When you don’t know that a curtain contains so many things, you must choose curtains only based on the color of the fabric and yarn, decors, etc. After reading today’s content, you will find that sometimes a curtain is the cheapest fabric.
Pit avoidance guide:
Take the living room floor-to-ceiling curtains as an example, the size is 5 meters long and 2.7 meters high. Cloth and yarn are charged according to rice, cloth and yarn are not expensive, cloth one meter tens to one or two hundred can already meet the vast majority of people. The window is 5 meters long, generally according to 1.5 times -2 times to do, because the curtains are pleated, can not be hung flat, so according to the requirements of the pleats, generally 1.5-2 times pleats, so that the length is 7.5-10 meters. The price of yarn is similar to cloth, and it is also dozens to one or two hundred pieces per meter, so the price of cloth and yarn made in two layers ranges from a few hundred pieces to a few thousand yuan (depending on the unit price of the selected cloth and yarn). Of course, you can measure the size, look at the fabric in the physical store, and then order it online, the price will be about a third cheaper. The fabric is selected according to the decoration style of your home, and the materials used are generally high-precision, chenille, cotton and linen and other materials. Just choose according to your needs.
2. The track is still a Roman pole
After choosing cloth and yarn, you have to choose a track or a Roman rod, if you are top-mounted, have a suspended ceiling or curtain box, it is recommended to use a track, if it is side-mounted, use a Roman rod. The tracks are divided into single-track double-track, PVC and aluminum alloy. Generally, the store will highly recommend the Roman rod to you. Think about it! According to the situation of my own home, I personally recommend the track. On the one hand, track curtains are smoother and quieter to pull, on the other hand, if you want to install smart curtains, you can only be tracked. Moreover, the installation of the track on the top is better hidden, more integrated with the decoration, and occupies a smaller area.
Don’t listen too much to the store’s recommendation, according to the situation of your own home decoration, you can install the track as much as possible not to install Roman rods. On the one hand, Roman rods occupy a lot of space, very abrupt, easy to affect the decoration of the whole, in addition, after installing Roman rods, the store will default to you to make a ring through the Roman rod hanging method. And this ring turned out to be one of the main sources of profit for curtains. The price of Roman rods is also a lot different, a few dollars to dozens of dollars a meter, do not buy too cheap, too expensive is not necessary, choose the right color style, the price of a dozen pieces of one meter is enough. The track is the same, choose aluminum alloy, single track more than a dozen pieces a meter, double track 25 yuan a meter, this can be.

3. Accessories
Whether it is the accessories of the Roman rod or the accessories on the curtain cloth, it is the main source of profit for the curtain as a whole, and you can imagine how profitable these little things are.
Mounting accessory bracket for Roman rods. The bracket is divided into two kinds of single and double, hanging one layer on single, hanging two layers on double, this is nothing to say, a bracket is only a few dollars, Roman rod bracket single and double is also three to five dollars a piece, if it is sold to you in the store, a single of about 15, double of 20-25 or so, and the purchase price of this one is 2-3 yuan, what is the profit? The same is true for other accessories, how profitable is to think for yourself!

Roman clubhead. This thing is put on, do not disassemble and wash the curtains will not move it, nor load-bearing anything, there is no need to buy very expensive, just choose the color style you like, the price is three or five dollars a can be, unless you need that kind of crystal, metal, personality creativity, slightly more expensive, but generally ten or twenty pieces are also bought.
Roman clubhead
Curtain perforated cloth tape. This is used on the curtain head when making curtains. The store generally sells you for about 20 yuan a meter, how long the curtains are, in fact, the cost of one meter is less than a dollar, do you believe it?

These accessories are recommended that you can buy online, and they are indeed much cheaper than in physical stores. In the store, you just need to let him make curtains and yarn bodies for you, and buy the rest yourself, and the money saved is enough to buy bedroom curtains.
4. Curtain curtain
Few people used this before, but in the past two years, more and more curtain curtains have been used, and it is really good to install this curtain, but it may not be applicable. There are still many people who do not know what the curtain curtain is, let’s look at the picture first.
Curtain curtain
The curtain curtain is made with your curtain, because the curtain is a new thing, so the fee is more expensive, a curtain made down and a curtain price is comparable. There are many styles that you can choose from, and this can only be made by the shop that makes curtains, because it needs to be made with the same cloth.
The pit of the mantle is actually a question of whether you choose to use it or not. The curtain is a decorative role, there is no other use at all, if the height of your house is not so high (within 2.6), do not install the curtain, it will appear that the house is very short and small, if the house is high enough and big, the window is large enough, the effect of installing the curtain will indeed be better. So this thing is a personal choice! Of course, the price has to be cut hard.
5. Others
In addition to the living room, the choice of bedroom curtains is also the same as the choice of living room. In addition to these curtains, there are curtains in different functional areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and study rooms. According to my own experience, blinds are recommended for curtains in functional areas other than the living room and bedroom. Because the bathroom needs to be waterproof, aluminum alloy shutters can be used, and dining rooms and study rooms can choose blackout soft gauze blinds or roller blinds. Because the kitchen will have oil smoke, and the windows of the general kitchen will not be large, you can choose roller blinds with oil-proof materials. In fact, I recommend not installing curtains in the kitchen, unless your kitchen window is large. Reflective film can be attached to kitchen glass, just like car glass film.
The curtains in these functional areas require a blocking function on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also need a decorative function, it is recommended to order directly online, and you can measure the size according to the requirements of the store, provide a good style, and customize it directly. And online provide personalized customization, you can provide your own pattern customization. Such services are generally not done in physical stores, and there are fewer optional styles and patterns.
