Curtains and drapes have the power to transform a room, adding style, warmth, and privacy to your living spaces. But, getting them just right involves more than just picking out your favorite fabric. Properly hanging curtains and drapes can make a significant difference in how they look and function. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to hang them like a pro.
- Rod Height For the illusion of taller ceilings and a larger window, position the curtain rod 1-3 inches below the ceiling, adding elegance and space to your room.
- Rod Width Curtains should be hung with the rod positioned 12-18 inches beyond the width of the window, ensuring that the window remains uncovered when the curtains are pulled back.
- Fullness For a fuller appearance, consider using four panels instead of two. Drapes, being heavier and more formal, may achieve a fuller look with fewer panels than curtains.
- Length Avoid using curtains that are too short. Opt for a length that is either 1/2 inch above the floor, gently touches the floor, or creates a subtle puddling effect.
- *To conceal the brackets and prevent the curtains from extending too far, position one curtain ring on the opposite side of the bracket. This is a practical technique to maintain a neat appearance while controlling the curtain’s movement.
