How to have a pair of bedroom curtains that really block the light?

▼ Pre-install the curtain box covering the whole wall to ensure that the whole wall can cover the curtains without obstacles. For example, there are no air conditioning holes. (Image from the Internet)

If the curtain box cannot be reserved due to the structural limitation of the house. An external curtain box can be installed. (Image from the Internet)

If the above cannot be achieved, you can install curtains wrapped on three sides. Installing curtains can not only block the light leakage on the side and top of curtains, but also make the whole indoor space more exquisite and elegant, but the ability is not enough. (Image from the Internet)

▼ Choose the shading decorative fabric with rubber coating, and the shading rate can reach 100%. Because it belongs to chemical shading, the quality of coated shading fabrics in China is not stable enough at present, so it is recommended to choose imported products.

▼ Choose the textile shading fabric with black silk thread. The shading rate and the warp and weft density of the fabric are different, which can generally reach about 80%. There are many choices of black silk shading fabric, which can be directly used as curtains or shading lining.

▼ Choose any curtain cloth you like and add a shading lining. Shading lining can be divided into chemical shading lining with coating and physical shading lining with black silk. Most star-rated hotels usually use this collocation to achieve the dual effects of decoration and shading.

▼ Foreign families and hotels often choose a layer of blinds and then add a layer of decorative curtains. Venetian blinds can choose roman blinds, wooden curtain, organ curtain, roller shutter and so on, which can basically achieve 100% shading effect.

▼ In addition, when defining the shading rate of curtain cloth, remember that everyone has different sensitivity to light, and the intensity of light source caused by the orientation of the house is also different. The best way is to test yourself with a mobile phone flashlight.

▼ The curtain rod cannot avoid the side leakage of light. Even if you choose imported 100% coated shading fabric;

▼ If the reality is that curtain rods must be installed. Then the perforated style shows more shading than the hook style;

If you don't like the style of punching, the hook-type curtain will cover the pole, which not only has better shading effect, but also is more exquisite and beautiful;

Light-colored fabrics have much less shading than dark fabrics. Similarly, thick fabrics are always more shading than thin fabrics;

The larger the curtain coverage area is than the window itself, the better the shading rate is; (provided by Mifu customers)

▼ Let the curtains be dragged on the ground, and the shading and aesthetics will be improved. However, it is not necessarily acceptable for patients with cleanliness to sort out obsessive-compulsive disorder;

▼ All cotton and linen products will shrink, just because the process quality is different and the shrinkage rate is different. Cotton and linen curtains must not be washed if they have a fixed shading lining. Because the shrinkage rate of the two layers of fabric is different, the joint will be deformed, which will affect the appearance; Of course, the lining of the living surface can also be considered, so that it can be washed separately, which is economical and convenient;

▼ The higher the height of the reserved curtain box, the better the shading effect. It is generally recommended that the depth of curtain box is about 25 cm. However, the height of the curtain box will visually affect the height of the room, and the owner needs to weigh it carefully.
