窗簾是由布、麻、紗、鋁片、木片、金屬材料等制作的，具有遮陽隔熱和(he)調節室內光線(xian)的(de)功能。布簾按材質分有棉紗布、滌(di)綸布、滌(di)棉混紡(fang)、棉麻混紡(fang)、無紡(fang)布等，不同的(de)材質、紋理(li)、顏色(se)、圖(tu)案等綜合起來就(jiu)形成了不同風(feng)格(ge)的(de)布簾(lian)，配合不同風(feng)格(ge)的(de)室內設計窗簾(lian)。窗簾(lian)的(de)控制方式分為手(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)和電動(dong)(dong)(dong)。手(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)窗簾(lian)包(bao)括：手(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)開(kai)合簾(lian)、手(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)拉珠(zhu)卷簾(lian)、手(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)絲(si)柔垂簾(lian)、手(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)木百(bai)葉、手動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)羅(luo)馬簾(lian)(lian)(lian)、手動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)風琴簾(lian)(lian)(lian)等等。電(dian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)窗簾(lian)(lian)(lian)包(bao)括：電(dian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)開合簾(lian)(lian)(lian)、電(dian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)卷簾(lian)(lian)(lian)、電(dian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)絲柔百(bai)葉、電(dian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)天棚簾(lian)(lian)(lian)、電(dian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)木百(bai)葉、電(dian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)羅(luo)馬簾(lian)(lian)(lian)、電(dian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)風琴簾(lian)(lian)(lian)等等。隨著窗簾的發(fa)展，它已(yi)成為居室(shi)不可缺(que)少的、功能(neng)性和裝(zhuang)飾性完美結合的室(shi)內(nei)裝(zhuang)飾品。

窗簾對家居環境的布置的美觀作用是不言而喻的，在選購窗簾時，不僅注意美觀，還(huan)要兼顧功(gong)能。例如(ru)在材質選擇(ze)上，不同的房(fang)間因為環(huan)境不同，就需要充分考(kao)慮(lv)窗簾的功(gong)能性，廚房(fang)、衛生間等由于潮濕、油(you)煙，用百(bai)葉(xie)窗較合適(shi)；另(ling)外休閑室、茶室也(ye)較(jiao)適合選用木制或竹制窗簾，陽臺要選用耐曬、不易(yi)褪(tun)色(se)材質的窗簾;書(shu)房可以選擇(ze)透(tou)光(guang)性好的布(bu)料，這樣有助于放松身心和思考(kao)問(wen)題(ti)。客廳的窗簾因為區位優勢總是最引人注目，而且客廳的布置在客人眼中充分展示出主人的品位和追求，所以選購客廳窗簾要尤其注意。臥室窗簾可以選(xuan)(xuan)擇(ze)深色布料，遮光性(xing)好，而(er)且能起到促進睡眠(mian)(mian)的(de)作用，尤其是黑紅搭配的(de)窗簾對于(yu)失眠(mian)(mian)者是不錯的(de)選(xuan)(xuan)擇(ze)。兒童房的窗簾設計結合孩子的天性，窗簾一般選擇了可愛的卡通圖(tu)案(an)、鮮明的色彩、還(huan)有個性的造(zao)型來討小主人的歡心(xin)。特別值(zhi)得提醒的是，由于孩子天生好動，有時(shi)會拿窗簾(lian)捉迷藏，甚(shen)至用牙(ya)咬窗簾(lian)，所以(yi)為(wei)孩(hai)子選(xuan)購(gou)窗簾(lian)時，要充(chong)分考慮(lv)健康環保問題。
