When inspecting the curtains of an apartment, one can gauge the owner’s aesthetic preferences, essentially reflecting their personality. Additionally, well-chosen curtains offer convenience in family life and help mitigate the intensity of sunlight during summer.

When selecting curtains for the summer, there are several factors to consider. First of all, it is important to choose a fabric that is lightweight and breathable. This will help to keep the room cool and comfortable during the hotter months. Additionally, selecting curtains in a light color can help to reflect sunlight and heat, rather than absorbing it.

Another consideration is the length of the curtains. In the summer, it may be beneficial to choose curtains that are shorter in length or even opt for sheer curtains. This allows for more natural light to enter the room and creates a breezy, airy feel.

Finally, consider the type of curtain rod or track that will be used. A lightweight rod or track will complement the lightweight fabric and provide a more seamless look. Additionally, it is important to consider the ease of opening and closing the curtains, as well as the ability to control the amount of light that enters the room.

By considering these factors, you can choose curtains that are not only functional for the summer months but also enhance the overall aesthetics of your space.

It is recommended to purchase fabric curtains with two layers.

To begin, it is essential to select the appropriate material for your curtains. Options available include wood, bamboo, lightweight metal, synthetic plastic, paper, and various fabric types. Given the tropical climate prevalent in our country, fabric curtains are the optimal choice for the summertime.

Soft and smooth fabrics are suitable for the summer. Elegant patterns or plain colors on smooth silk, brocade, voile… look very luxurious. If you prefer a more “friendly” style, you can choose fabrics with a slightly rough surface like canvas, tarpaulin, canvas, or natural fabrics…

The thickness of the fabric also needs to be considered. Family life requires privacy, so curtains must meet both requirements: shade and decoration. You can refer to double-layer curtains, with the outer layer for decoration and blocking the sun, and the inner layer can be thin voile to create a gentle and relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy the outside view in the evening.
Using light colors can create the illusion of a more spacious room
The second important factor is the color of the curtains. Dark colors will make the room appear narrower, while light colors will make it appear more spacious. However, light colors do not necessarily mean warm colors. The summer weather is already hot, so choosing warm colors will make you feel even hotter. We should choose harmonious and subtle colors to create a comfortable feeling.

When selecting curtains for your home, it is important to consider the specific room in which they will be used. For instance, if you are choosing curtains for your living room, opting for darker tones than the wall color can help create a luxurious ambiance. On the other hand, for your bedroom, lighter or brighter colors can be chosen to promote a comfortable atmosphere. Taking into account the intended use of the curtains can greatly enhance the overall aesthetic and mood of your space.

Longer and wider than the size of the door frame

Before buying (or ordering) curtains, you need to carefully measure the dimensions to avoid regrettable mistakes, which not only waste time but also ruin the original fabric.

It is recommended to consult a professional for measuring curtains accurately. When measuring for curtains, it is common to add approximately 10cm to the height and 20-30cm to the width compared to the main door frame. For windows, the upper height should be measured to be around 10cm longer and the lower height should be about 30-40cm longer. This ensures that when the curtain is opened, it will not be too short. Additionally, the width of window curtains should include an extra 20-30cm. It is also advisable to consider the specific conditions and make adjustments accordingly for a balanced and harmonious look in terms of both height and width.

Do not buy online
 
Currently, stores that provide interior equipment all have websites to introduce their models. You should carefully consider before buying and avoid buying online when you don’t really feel it is reputable. It is best to go directly to the dealer to choose carefully. You have to see and touch the products with your own eyes to feel confident about their quality.
