Guys! Have you ever looked at your window and realized
how beautiful it is with its curtains? Hhmm, not really no?
While we tend to not give much of importance to curtains, they are actually a big factor to interior
design. How you hang your curtains is a thing we also need to consider in decorating our home.
So in this episode, we'll tell you the common curtain mistakes and how to fix them. Enjoy!
First, installing the rod too low.
If you want to make the room look as tall as possible,
install them slightly closer to the ceiling to exaggerate the height of the room.
It will trick your eye into thinking that the space is taller and spacious.
If they’re too low, the ceiling feels lower, which makes your space feel small.
that way, your windows will look larger and your curtains won’t block your view when they’re opened.
This will give your curtains a gathered, luxurious look either they’re opened or closed.
The most common curtain mistake that is just too painful to look at is, curtain panels being too short.
A big NO! To avoid this awkward look, interior designers have set 4 curtain lengths to
perfectly guide us. These are:
Kiss, It barely touches the floor. This is the hardest one to
pull off as you need to measure accurately the height between the rod and the floor’s surface.
The panels should perfectly hover on the surface of the floor.
To achieve this, you have to add an extra 2-4 inches of length beyond the floor.
This is best for you romantics out there! It’s a good idea if your fabric is
really of high quality because the more it puddles the more you can see its beautiful texture.
That drama! But, do not overdo it! You wouldn’t want to trip over your curtain, right?
This one is halfway between kiss and puddle length.
Just add extra half inch to 1 inch length so that the panel breaks as it hits the floor.
If you prefer hanging your curtains without any break at all, so they hang totally straight,
then the float is the best option for you. Your curtain panels should float not more than half of an
inch above the floor. It doesn’t touch the floor, but only just barely.
Interesting huh? Okay let’s review, we have the Kiss, Puddle, Break puddle and Float.
Next is not really much of a mistake, but ‘tamad-ness’, hahaha kidding but
its true naman. Any idea what it is…….???
I hear few subscribers saying the correct answer. All right!
While ironing could be your least favorite chore, remember
that wrinkled curtains look sloppy and sometimes do not hang straight.
So before you hang, iron or steam them to release any wrinkles to have its best look!
Okay! Easy guide right? Hope you enjoyed and most importantly, learned a lot from this episode!
