Curtain Hanging Styles

Window treatments can easily work their way into almost any decor or theme in your home. You can change the look of a room simply by your choice of how to hang a particular curtain or drape. Depending on the type of fabric you work with, the size of the window and your room's style, you can find many options for dressing your windows fashionably.

Simple and smart

One quick and easy way to adorn your windows involves taking fabric, usually something sheer and diaphanous, and wrapping it around your basic curtain rod a few times. Loosely wrap the curtain rod, allowing the fabric to droop at regular intervals. This creates a dramatic and elegant look with very little work on your part. You can even hang a sheer curtain first and then do the wrapping and drooping over it to create a more layered look. This might involve the installation of another rod.

Traditional treatments

You could call in a decorator or someone who specializes in knowing just how to make windows look appealing. This person might suggest regular drapes in a particular hue or come up with something you have not considered.

Magazines and catalogs

If you have wracked your brain to no avail, think about leafing through some magazines and catalogs to get a few ideas about what to do with your windows. These volumes provide a wealth of ideas. From looking through them, you can probably create your own look by combining some ideas you have seen.

By combining ideas you garner from periodicals with your own tastes and resources, you can create the look you want for your room. Windows matter to your room, and you want to make sure you complement your decor correctly.
