When decorating a home, there comes the time to furnish the windows. Most often, we face difficulties in choosing and properly mounting new curtains. Here are some useful tips about curtains.
Opening GalleryMounting Curtains and Masking Defects Designers recommend mounting curtains as high as possible. This will make the ceiling appear taller and elongate the window profile. This advice does not apply in cases of high ceilings and low windows.
Therefore, the ideal length is from the ceiling to the floor level, barely touching it. The kitchen is an exception, where curtains usually have only the size of the window or do not exist at all.
It is important to know about curtains that you will buy enough material so that they appear as full as possible. Thus, the finished curtains should be two and a half times the length of the window. If you opt for velvet, designers recommend using even three times the initial length.
In the process of mounting curtains, pay attention to the objects with which you will attach them to the ceiling or wall. Maintain proportions regarding the rods or rails on which the new curtains will be fixed. Large and thick curtains require solid and sturdy clamps and a gallery appropriate for the room and the adopted decor.
If you haven't thought about it before, curtains can help you mask certain defects of the windows or those related to the design of the room.
The idea of verticality can be achieved through tall curtains, from ceiling to floor, as mentioned above, but what can we do for high ceilings? The basic idea for such variants is to choose curtains that have a horizontal structure and possibly a pattern that gives them more volume in the sides.
