Curtains are a beautiful finishing touch to a room and are often an item that can easily be overlooked in a space. It’s an easy way to add warmth and grandeur to a room, but there are a few key items you should keep in mind when hanging your curtains.

• A curtain rod should be hung at least 4-6” above the window frame, or preferable an inch or two below the ceiling. This elongates your walls giving the illusion of taller ceilings.

• Having your curtains come all the way to the ground also helps to elongate the space.

• Your curtain rod should extend 6” beyond the window frame so that when your drapes are open. This ensures the drapes do not cover the windows when open and ultimately bring in more light into your space and makes the windows appear larger.

• Consider incorporating both curtains and shades for a layered look in your space. This can be achieved by implementing double curtain rod, it allows the curtains to hang as decorative panels on either side of the window, the shade allows light to filter into the space, while still giving privacy for privacy.
