HOW TO CHOOSE A CURTAIN - THE BASICS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CURTAINS

2012-08-21T20:31:00.001-07:00

1. What we should consider before installing a curtain or blind?

The choice must be made according to the appearance or language you want to transmit through the different environments, whether to live or work.

Much depends on the functionality, ease of maintenance, coverage, privacy, light, transparency, harmony and warmth required. Among the models, they emphasize the sliding and folding curtains. As for blinds, vertical blinds of PVC are offered, horizontal blinds of wood or aluminum, rolling and folding made of bamboo. Bright golden curtain: damask fabric curtains by KOBE - kobefab.com

2. What is the most durable curtain and why?
The curtains in jacquard fabric are more durable and more resistant in the range of sunlight block, since they are resistant to ultraviolet rays. On the other hand, the most resistant blinds are the 90 mm and 50 mm PVC films, simple and easy to maintain (can be cleaned with any abrasive).

3. What are the measures (maximum and minimum) which may have a curtain or blind?

The maximum dimensions that we recommend for a curtain are 2.8 m to 3 m high. However, they can reach 5m. For aesthetic reasons, the minimum would be 1.20 m. For aluminum shutters of 25 mm maximum size is 1.60 m and minimum 80cm. The roll-up polyester fabrics "black out", "screen" and "flat" is 80 cm (minimum) and 1.80 m (maximum) wide with an average height of 1.50 m. Finally, the vertical PVC can be made of 50 cm (minimum) and 4 m (maximum) wide and an average height of 3.5 m. We must respect these measures towards the smooth operation and longer duration of the product.

4. How is the maintenance of each type of curtain?
If they are fabric curtains, maintenance is simple. You have to remove them from the gallery and remove the hooks. When the fabric is sunshade, they can be machine washed with detergent, but if it is tulle or brocade fabric is better to wash it by hand with mild detergent. In the case of blinds, you should only wipe them to remove dust.

5. What colors should I use?
Light colors give a greater feeling of spaciousness.

Also, light colors are more resistant to ultraviolet rays. Lately, people are also using warm colors or with different designs.

6. What to do when the products are damaged?
If the fabric frays, you should see a specialist in fabric manufacturing. As for the spots have to be removed with soapy water and carpet shampoo.

CURTAINS IDEAS FOR DOUBLE HEIGHT CEILINGS - TIPS

2012-01-26T16:01:00.000-08:00

Lately, I have seen some double height ceiling, they are about as twice high as a normal ceiling. This kinds of curtains are perfect for a living, dining room, bedrooms and other interesting areas in the house.

The sensation of a double-height house is very beautiful, but there are a couple of little problems. The first is where to get the big curtains and the second is that it will feel very cold in winter because warm air always goes up.

If this is your case, here the solution to both problems:
1) The curtains you must get are called "double height curtains" They come in all the types, roller blinds or shutters, classic, etc. You must ask for them in the same place where you buy, if they do maintenance and cleaning of these curtains and if you are installing a system where you can let yourself get these curtains for cleaning.

2) Even if you have a heating system equipment and well distributed. Heat always tends to go up and you will never get to feel at ease in the ground floor. All you have to achieve is that hot air at the top can be lowered, and the best solution for this case is a ceiling fan. Yes, a fan, but with reverse rotation. Thus, by rotating in the opposite direction, the fan generates an air current that sucks the bottom layer of air and makes the top down. It also prevents air to bother you, because it actually moves very slowly and what you get is a very cozy warmth. And if you want the house is warm when you arrive, add a timer to your heating system ..

TRANSLUCENT CURTAINS - TULLE AND SHEER CURTAINS DESIGN IDEAS

2012-01-26T12:05:00.000-08:00

What is a sheer curtain? It is a curtain made of fine fabric that allows light to pass through so subtly that lights does not blind you. Sheer curtains are made of translucent fabrics such as yarn, linen, tulle. To decorate with sheer curtains, some people put them with thicker curtains when required total privacy or absence of light. The sheer curtains are placed in windows with:

Rail. They engage in several bearings running on a track. The first one moves by pulling a cord dragging in its movement to the rest.
Round bar. The sheer curtain is attached to a few washers inserted in a rod in which they run. They move by hand or by a rigid rod that is sewn to the fabric.
Rod window. They join a rod that is attached directly to a window.
There are also other systems such as fixed curtains that cover all or part of the window.
The use of sheer curtains today is fashionable and the trend is to use curtains longer than necessary, so part of the curtain rests on the floor ensuring a good fall (as this puddled curtain) that depends on the meters of fabric used.

Among the types of curtains, there are fluffy, lightweight, soft, elegant and decorative. The good news is that these beautiful fabrics are so light and economical, it's really a pretty cheap alternative and a good aesthetic choice to decorate your windows and balconies.
Moderate the passing of light but allow to be clear all day and bring a very fresh and elegant touch to your home.
This curtains are simple and chic, but the white curtains are the most used, you will find a wide variety of models in the market, no doubt, will suit your style. Smooth, embroidery, with decorative elements, stripes, flowers, organza curtains, etc..

BEADED CURTAINS ACRYLIC CURTAINS STONE CURTAINS

2012-01-05T21:17:00.000-08:00

BEADED CURTAINS also called acrylic curtains or pebbles curtains are beautiful, original and economic handmade curtains that you can make, not only for your dormitory or any part of your home, but also for special events and to separate areas.
The appearance of the acrylic curtains is molded glass, like diamonds, seems like curtains made of precious stones.
You can make curtains with stones of different colors and put them in the door or remove any room in your home.

How to Make Beaded Curtains, it's simple.
1)Measure the space you are going to cover with the curtain.
2) Find the most beautiful acrylic stones on the market, there are forms of butterflies, flowers, etc. Buy the most cute and the appropriate amount to the space measured.
3) Stringing these beads with nylon thread or fishing line, wire or string some strong and resilient.
4) Use a wood or rod where you will nail or hook the strung wire with the stones of your choice.

For this fourth step you get it right, I recommend you do the following:
- First you mark the wood, the places where the strips will hang.
- Then, at the marked points, make the holes with a drill.
- Pass the thread through each hole and tie a knot at the top so it doesn't returns.
- Put the balls asymmetrically, beads, stones or sequins along each wire, and do
knots between them.

You will see these beaded curtains will be nice. But if you think this is not simple, you can choose and buy readymade beaded curtains.

PINK CURTAINS DESIGN AND IDEAS

The pink color is preferred by most women since children to adulthood, which is why many of you look for pink curtains designs. Here some pictures of pink curtains that I liked.

But, what does the color pink means? Pink is a color emotionally relaxed and influences your fellings by making them kind, soft and deep. The pink makes us feel tenderness, affection, love and protection. Also removes us from solitude and makes us more sensitive persons.

Pink color means innocence, love, surrender, helping others.

Pink is obtained from red (strength, passion) and white (harmony, peace). It has many shades. I like very soft pinks.
