Wall of curtains how to hang.

Heavy curtains need a strong anchor so you will need to attach your curtain rod brackets directly to the studs of the wall. But since we were just replacing our old bedroom curtains when we wrote that post we skipped the crucial step of actually hanging the curtain rods themselves. Hang the curtains and double check to make sure your brackets are still secure. To hang curtains start by determining your window s height and marking the wall where you d like the curtain rod brackets to be installed with a pencil.

Add more length if. Run a stud detector over the wall where you will hang the curtain. If your curtains are for ornamental purposes only to frame a recessed window or set of french doors for example you may be able to get by with only 1 3 feet 0 30 0 91 m of wall space. Make sure your designated hanging site is big enough to extend your curtain or curtains to their full length.

Measure from the spot you plan to hang the rod usually four to six inches above the window but a minimum of two inches to the floor to figure out the length of the curtains. Make sure your measurements are level with each other then drill holes into the marked spots install the wall anchors and screw in the brackets. The downside to hanging these curtains without damaging the wall was i couldn t hang them high. I managed to hang them wide by placing the brackets on the edge of the window and allowing the rod to stick out further but you are stuck having to hang them directly on top of the window.

I m sure you ve heard it before but here s your official reminder to always hang your curtain rods high and wide. Lightly mark the studs with a pencil so you can find them later. If you hang your rods to look like they re hugging the window it makes the window and as a result pretty much the entire room feel smaller.
