Beyond Bending Tell You How
One of the easiest ways to add a touch of personality and style to your apartment is by hanging curtains. Curtains are not only functional, but they can also enhance the overall look and feel of your space. However, if you’ve never hung curtains before, it can be quite daunting. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we will guide you through the process of hanging curtains in your apartment.
Step 1: Measure the window
Before you start hanging your curtains, you need to measure the window. This will help you determine the length and width of the curtains you need. Measure the width of the window and add a few inches on either side to ensure that the curtains cover the entire window. Then, measure the height of the window and add a few inches to ensure that the curtains reach the floor.
Step 2: Choose the right curtains
When choosing curtains for your apartment, you need to consider the style, color, and fabric. The style and color of the curtains should complement the decor of your apartment. The fabric of the curtains should be light enough to allow natural light to filter through but heavy enough to provide privacy.
Step 3: Install the curtain rod
The next step is to install the curtain rod. The curtain rod should be installed above the window frame to create an illusion of height. Use a leveler to ensure that the rod is straight. Make sure that the brackets are securely attached to the wall. If you’re renting an apartment and don’t want to drill holes into the wall, you can use tension rods instead.
Step 4: Hang the curtains
Once the curtain rod is installed, it’s time to hang the curtains. First, slide the curtains onto the rod. Then, adjust the curtains so that they’re evenly spaced. Finally, secure the curtains onto the rod using the clips or rings.
Step 5: Finishing touches
Now that you’ve hung the curtains, it’s time to add a few finishing touches. Adjust the curtains so that they’re the right length and width. You can also add tiebacks or holdbacks to keep the curtains open during the day. And voila! You’re done.
People also ask:
How high should I hang my curtains?
You should hang your curtains about 4-6 inches above the window frame to create an illusion of height.
What if I don’t want to drill holes into the wall?
You can use tension rods instead of traditional curtain rods. Tension rods can be adjusted to fit the width of your window and don’t require any drilling.
