There are a few things to keep in mind when hanging curtains professionally. The first is to make sure the curtains are the right size for the window. The second is to Hang the curtain rod at the proper height. And the third is to choose the right hanging style.
How do professionals hang curtains?
If you are using a double curtain rod, insert the rod closest to the wall first. Then slide on either shears or curtains. Make sure that the hooks on the back of the shears or curtains are facing the wall.
A good rule of thumb for hanging curtains is to mount the rod 2/3 of the distance between the top of the window and the ceiling. This creates the illusion of height. In rooms with standard 8′ ceilings, that can mean mounting the rod at the ceiling, which is perfectly fine!
Where should curtain rods be placed
If you want your window to appear taller, fix your curtain rod closer to the ceiling than the top of your window. One rule of thumb is that the curtain rod should sit 4-6 inches above the window frame.
When choosing a curtain rod for your window, the standard distance from the window casing to the end of the curtain rod (excluding finials) should be 4 to 10 inches. As a general rule, drapes will be open during the day, so make sure the curtain rod extends at least four inches on each side of the window’s inside frame. This will ensure that your drapes are not obstructed when they are open.
What not to do when hanging curtains?
There are a few things you definitely want to avoid when hanging curtains:
-Hanging your curtain too low. This is one of the most common mistakes I see pretty much everywhere. People hang their curtain too low, which makes the window look smaller and the room look shorter.
-Hanging curtains that are too short. This is another common mistake. Curtains that are too short make the room look unfinished and can be quite visually unappealing.
-Hanging curtains that are too thin. This can make the room look cheap and not very well put together.
-Using the wrong drapery style or type of pleats. This can make the curtains look dated or out of place.
There are a few things to keep in mind when hanging curtains to ensure they look their best. First, hang them to the floor for a sophisticated look. Second, invest in good hardware so they hang properly. Third, don’t forget to measure the window so the curtains are the correct size. Finally, have fun with layering different fabrics to create a unique look.
When hanging curtains should they touch the floor?
There are a few things to consider when deciding if your curtains should touch the floor. First, think about the overall style you want to create in your space. If you’re going for a formal look, drapes that touch the floor are a must. If you’re going for a more relaxed look, you could choose drapes that fall just below the window sill or even shorter. Another thing to consider is how much light you want to let in. If you want to let in a lot of light, drapes that touch the floor could get in the way. If you want to keep things dark, drapes that touch the floor will help keep the light out. Finally, think about how easy you want your drapes to be to open and close. If you want to be able to open and close your drapes easily, you’ll want to choose a style that doesn’t touch the floor.
So, there’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to whether or not your curtains should touch the floor. It’s all about what works best for your space and your personal style.
When hanging curtains, be sure to place each bracket at the height you previously determined, about four to six inches from the side of the window frame. This will allow you to open the curtains completely. Be sure to check that your pencil marks are level, as a crooked window treatment will be quite noticeable!
How much wider should curtains be than the rod
Curtains can make or break the look of a room, so it’s important to choose the right size. To ensure that curtain panels look ample when closed, they should have a combined width that is 2 to 25 times the width of the window/rod. That means if you are ordering Grommet style or Rod-pocket style, the total drapery width should be at least 2 times the window/rod width.
There are a few things to keep in mind when hanging curtains:
-We recommend hanging most curtains at least 4-6 inches above the window frame. A general rule is two-thirds of the space above the window.
-When hanging curtains, be sure to use proper hardware. Curtain rods should be installed using brackets that are properly anchored into the wall.
-If you’re hanging curtains for decorative purposes, make sure they are properly lined and weighted so they hang correctly.
-Consider the style of your room when choosing the type of curtain to hanging. Sheer curtains can make a room feel more open and airy, while heavier curtains can provide more privacy and light control.
Where should a curtain rod make a room look bigger?
If you want your window to look bigger, and your curtains to look more high-end, you should hang your curtain rod higher than the window. This will require curtains that are longer than your typical curtain.
If you are unsure of where to place your curtain rod, a good rule of thumb is to allow about 3 inches on each side of the window. In most spaces, a rod with decorative finials hung on the wall outside of the window frame will look best and provide the most coverage.
Should curtains touch the windowsill
This is a great approach for café curtains (short panels that cover only the lower portion of a window and hit the sill), which work well in spots like the kitchen and bathroom, where long drapes aren’t practical. The fabric should just touch the floor or hover 1/2 inch above it.
A good rule of thumb for curtains is to have the rod extend three to four inches from each side of the window frame. Use a pencil to make small marks on the wall at the appropriate width, using a level to ensure the marks are straight.
Can curtains hang above baseboards?
Yes, you can hang curtains over baseboard heaters as long as they are above the heaters. These are the new curtains I just purchased and I made sure that the length of the panel hovered above the heaters. They hover above the baseboard heater a couple of inches.
A rod pocket is a sewn-in pocket at the top of a drapery panel that slips over a rod, concealing it. This is the most classic and common method of hanging drapery, and it results in a simple, casual look.
