When choosing colors, it is necessary to combine the colors of furniture to determine a main color tone, so that the overall color and aesthetic of the living room are coordinated and consistent. Proper fabric decoration can add color to a home, while haphazardly stacking can have the opposite effect.

For hanging fabrics such as curtains, curtains, and wall hangings, their size, vertical and horizontal dimensions, colors, patterns, styles, etc. should match the space and facade scale of the living room, and achieve a sense of balance visually. For larger windows, curtains with wide openings and a length close to the ground or floor should be used for decoration; In a small space, it is necessary to pair it with fabric with small patterns. Only in a large space can one choose a fabric with large patterns to avoid imbalance.
5. The price of curtain fabric is influenced by the texture of the fabric. Cotton, linen, silk, and wool have higher prices, but they are also popular among consumers. However, these fabrics have a certain shrinkage rate and should be purchased with a loose grip. The size of the shrinkage should be indicated. Currently, there is no national standard for shrinkage rate, while the European standard is between 3% and 5%. Consumers should ask for clarification when purchasing.
6. The fabric on the bed must be made of pure cotton. Pure cotton fabric absorbs sweat and is soft, which is beneficial for sweat gland "breathing" and human health.

Patterns with colors and brightness lower than the floor should be used to achieve harmony in the contrast.
8. In the overall layout of the living room, the fabric decoration should also complement and coordinate with other decorations. The expression of its color, style, and meaning should be consistent with the interior decoration style. Fabric decorations with rich colors and intricate patterns have strong expressive power, but are difficult to match and suitable for spaces with luxurious styles: light-colored fabric decorations with bright colors or simple patterns can complement spaces with a strong sense of modernity. In an interior with a Chinese classical style, it is easy to use fabrics with traditional Chinese patterns to complement.
