Beyond Bending Tell You How
Are you moving into a new apartment and want to add some privacy and style to your windows? Installing curtains is a great way to achieve both. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install curtains in your apartment.
Measure Your Windows
Before you purchase any curtains, measure the width and height of your windows. This will ensure that you buy the right size curtains. Measure the width of the window frame and add a few inches on each side to allow for the curtain rod. For the height, measure from the top of the window frame to where you want the curtains to fall.
Pick Your Curtain Rod
Choose a curtain rod that fits the width of your window and matches your decor. There are many different types of curtain rods such as adjustable, tension, and double rods. Make sure to also pick up any necessary hardware such as brackets, screws, and anchors.
Install the Curtain Rod
Attach the brackets to the wall above the window frame using screws and anchors if needed. Make sure the brackets are level and evenly spaced. Slide the curtain rod through the rod pocket or grommets of the curtains, and then place the rod on the brackets.
Hang Your Curtains
Adjust the curtains so they are evenly spaced on the rod and fall at the desired length. If your curtains have tiebacks, loop them around the curtains to keep them in place. Step back and admire your newly installed curtains!
