How to Achieve a Luxurious and Cohesive Look with Layered Curtain Installations in Your Home or Commercial Space

 If you've ever bought a curtain that was either way too short or too long, you know how frustrating it can be. Fortunately, with a few easy steps, you can hang curtains that will be sure to please. The first step is accurate measurement.

 Steel tape measure vertically

To do this, place a steel tape measure vertically against the center of your window and lower it down to where you would like the bottom of your curtains to hang. From there, measure out on both sides of the window a distance equal to half of your Curtains Fitting Installationlength. Mark this point with a pencil.

The next decision is how high to mount your curtains. Some designers suggest ten inches above the trim, but it really depends on your tastes and the style of your room. Some prefer curtains that graze the floor or sill for a classic, tailored look, while others like them to hang slightly above the sill for an airier feel. You can even hang them higher, up to the ceiling, if you want to give your space a taller appearance.

 Windows appear wider

Once you have your measurements, it's time to map out where the brackets should go. If you're using a standard rod, start by marking the end points where your brackets will be placed with a pencil. Then, extend the line out about 2-4 inches past the edge of your window or window molding on each side. If you're looking to make your windows appear wider, extend the line out a bit more than this, but be careful not to go so far that the curtains will be too long.

Curtain hanging

For more specialized curtain rods, like those used for bay or picture windows, you'll have to do a little more work. To determine the best placement for these rods, it's helpful to have a friend help you out. This will allow you to see the curtain hanging and ensure that it looks perfect before you drill in any brackets. For best results, you should also use a stud finder to ensure that your brackets are securely attached to the wall. If you don't have a stud finder or your apartment rules don't permit drilling into the walls, you can still hang curtains with the help of mounting strips, which are available in most hardware stores.

Conclusion

Finally, if you're using a track system, lay out your brackets and space them about 600 mm apart (the standard distance between wall studs). Make sure that the very top of each Curtains Fitting Installation bracket lines up with the very top of the drop measurement given in your order. Screw them in place, but don't tighten them completely yet. Doing so will allow you to adjust the position of each track clip later on, if necessary, once your curtains are installed. For the final touch, place a finial on each end of your curtain rod and enjoy your new curtains! If you have any questions about your Curtains Fitting Installation, don't hesitate to contact us.
