Tips for hanging curtains

Knowing how to hang curtains allows you to easily install them and start enjoying the way they complement your home’s decor. Generally, these are the guidelines to follow when buying and hanging curtains: Measure your space. For full coverage, make sure your curtain is wider than your window. Choose the right curtain for your needs. Layered curtains add opacity and look luxurious. Sheer curtains cut harsh sunshine while still allowing daylight to come through. Lighter fabrics allow airflow in the summer while heavier fabrics provide insulation in the winter. Choose the right rod. Look for a curtain rod wider than your window so curtains can be fully pulled open. Mount the rod and brackets. Hanging the curtain closer to the ceiling can help make your room appear larger. Consider wall anchors if you are using a heavy curtain. Add the curtains to the rod. Use curtain rings, clips, or grommets to hang the curtain from the rod before placing it on the brackets.

Learn More About Curtains & Window Treatments

A window treatment is any accessory, like curtains or blinds, added to your window to block light, add privacy, or complete the decor. There are three main types of treatments: soft, hard, and direct.

Soft treatments are textile additions like curtains, drapes, and fabric shades.
Hard treatments are usually made of wood or vinyl and include window shutters, Venetian blinds, and solid Roman shades.
Direct window treatments are applied to the surface of the glass to provide privacy without darkening the room. These include frosted films, stained glass appliqués, and reflective window film.

When styling your window treatment, keep in mind that different window treatments may be better suited to different types of decor.

Soft treatments are traditional and lend themselves to an airy farmhouse or contemporary styles. Flowing white curtains are instantly at home in a beachside bungalow or master bedroom. Heavy velvet curtains provide rich texture as bedroom window curtains and help cut the cold in draftier houses. They’re also a versatile option for all sorts of doors, including front doors, sliding glass doors,and interior french door window treatments.

Hard treatments can suit both older and modern homes. Wooden window shutters fit flawlessly in older homes, while rolling Roman shades and metal window shutters make charming living room window treatments for modern spaces.

Direct treatments are ideal for spaces where you want privacy. Bathroom window treatments are extremely popular in contemporary homes, like frosted windows or shower glass doors. If you live near a neighbor, a well-placed kitchen window treatment will minimize those awkward mid-chore glances while still letting in the light.

Many Etsy sellers can even create custom window treatments to fit your space, including window treatments for bay windows or other hard-to-fit areas.
