窗簾是由布、麻、紗、鋁片、木片、金屬材料等制作的，具有遮(zhe)陽隔熱和調節室內(nei)光線(xian)的(de)功(gong)能(neng)。布簾按材質分有棉(mian)紗布、滌(di)綸布、滌(di)棉(mian)混(hun)紡、棉(mian)麻(ma)混(hun)紡、無(wu)紡布等，不同的(de)材質、紋(wen)理、顏色、圖(tu)案等綜合(he)起(qi)來就形成了不(bu)同風(feng)格(ge)的(de)布簾(lian)(lian)，配合不(bu)同風(feng)格(ge)的(de)室內設計窗(chuang)簾(lian)(lian)。窗(chuang)簾(lian)(lian)的(de)控(kong)制方(fang)式分為(wei)手(shou)(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)和(he)電動(dong)(dong)(dong)。手(shou)(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)窗(chuang)簾(lian)(lian)包括：手(shou)(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)開合簾(lian)(lian)、手(shou)(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)拉珠卷簾(lian)(lian)、手(shou)(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)絲柔垂(chui)簾(lian)(lian)、手(shou)(shou)動(dong)(dong)(dong)木百(bai)葉、手(shou)動(dong)(dong)羅(luo)馬簾(lian)(lian)(lian)、手(shou)動(dong)(dong)風(feng)琴(qin)(qin)簾(lian)(lian)(lian)等(deng)等(deng)。電(dian)(dian)動(dong)(dong)窗簾(lian)(lian)(lian)包括(kuo)：電(dian)(dian)動(dong)(dong)開合簾(lian)(lian)(lian)、電(dian)(dian)動(dong)(dong)卷簾(lian)(lian)(lian)、電(dian)(dian)動(dong)(dong)絲柔(rou)百(bai)葉、電(dian)(dian)動(dong)(dong)天棚簾(lian)(lian)(lian)、電(dian)(dian)動(dong)(dong)木百(bai)葉、電(dian)(dian)動(dong)(dong)羅(luo)馬簾(lian)(lian)(lian)、電(dian)(dian)動(dong)(dong)風(feng)琴(qin)(qin)簾(lian)(lian)(lian)等(deng)等(deng)。隨著窗簾(lian)的發展，它已成為居室不(bu)可缺少的、功能性和(he)裝飾性完美(mei)結合(he)的室內(nei)裝飾品。

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，還要(yao)兼顧功能(neng)。例(li)如在材質(zhi)選擇上(shang)，不同(tong)的房(fang)間因為環境不同(tong)，就需要(yao)充(chong)分考慮窗簾(lian)的功能(neng)性，廚房(fang)、衛生間等(deng)由于潮濕、油(you)煙，用百(bai)葉(xie)窗較合適；另外休閑室(shi)、茶室(shi)也較適(shi)合選用木制或竹制窗簾(lian)(lian)，陽臺(tai)要(yao)選用耐(nai)曬、不易(yi)褪色材(cai)質的窗簾(lian)(lian);書(shu)房(fang)可(ke)以選擇(ze)透光性好(hao)的布料，這樣有助于放松身心和(he)思考問(wen)題。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。臥室窗簾可以選擇深(shen)色布料，遮光性好，而且能起到促進睡(shui)眠(mian)(mian)的(de)作用，尤其是黑(hei)紅搭配的(de)窗(chuang)簾對于失眠(mian)(mian)者是不錯的(de)選擇。兒童房的窗簾設計結合孩子的天性，窗簾一般選擇(ze)了可愛(ai)的(de)(de)(de)(de)卡通(tong)圖案、鮮明(ming)的(de)(de)(de)(de)色彩、還有個性的(de)(de)(de)(de)造型來討小主人的(de)(de)(de)(de)歡(huan)心。特別值得提(ti)醒的(de)(de)(de)(de)是，由(you)于孩(hai)子(zi)天生好動，有時會拿窗(chuang)簾(lian)捉迷藏，甚(shen)至用牙咬窗(chuang)簾(lian)，所(suo)以為(wei)孩子選購窗簾時(shi)，要(yao)充(chong)分考(kao)慮健康環保(bao)問題。
