How to Hang Curtains Correctly

Wondering how to hang your curtains for the best effect? Start by considering the look you want to achieve, that will determine the hanging system you choose. Our ready-made curtains come with either a multifunctional header tape or eyelets, and can be mounted on a curtain rod or track system.

Standard Height

The classic installation height is just a few centimetres above the window frame, centred horizontally. Mount the brackets approx. 2–3 cm outside the width of the window.

Offset the Window Visually

To shift the window visually to one side, simply extend the curtain rod further past the frame on one side. This creates a new visual balance.

Low Ceilings

To make the room appear taller, mount the curtain rod as close to the ceiling as possible. Vertical stripes on the fabric will enhance the effect.

High Ceilings

If your ceiling is quite high, horizontal stripes on the curtains can help visually "lower" the space. In this case, avoid mounting the rod too high.

Small Window

To make a small window appear larger, cover more wall space. Use a longer curtain rod and install it well beyond the edges of the frame.

Small Room

Even small rooms can accommodate curtains. Just mount the rod close to the window to save space.

Combining with Blinds

Curtains pair well with other types of window coverings such as blinds, Venetian blinds, or Roman shades.

Roman Blinds

Roman shades can be mounted either inside the window frame or on the wall outside the frame – depending on your preference and window setup.
