Can you remember back to a time when most windows looked alike? I'm talking about how they were all covered in draperies if they were in living rooms and bedrooms and cafe curtains if they were in kitchens. Our house was that way, and I could go to friends' homes and find the same thing. These window coverings were backdrops against the scenery displayed in the room. We've come a long way since then, though, and people seek much more individuality than they used to. The heavy draperies are being replaced by many different types of window treatments MT.
Always wash hands thoroughly. It's very easy to forget, but after you have been handling dirty tools when fitting your pole, it is all too easy to put dirty hands on your clean, fresh new fabric. Check curtains before hanging. Remove from their packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Check that both curtains match regarding pattern and color, check the stitching of the curtains and check the size of the curtains. Nobody wants to spend time carefully hanging their curtains to stand back and see that one is longer than the other!
The main difference between the two is that curtains are stationary, whereas shutter draperies can move back and forth through the rod. Drapes can be opened to allow light to enter the room and can be closed for privacy purposes. Curtains, on the other hand, can also be opened but the process is done so by gathering the fabric to the sides and secure with tassels or ties.
Then we have shutter valances. A shutter valance is a fabric that adorns the top of the shutter to cover the mounting hardware of drapes and curtains. These are wonderful to combine with drapes and curtains to provide a more finished look. These are also great for layering, and can even be used to add more style and design for blinds and Roman shades.
If your furniture doesn't match with those colors, you can try other basics and accent colors that will coordinate. The day of the chintzy flowery drape is long gone unless it's in a little girl's bedroom. Otherwise, you want your color choices to be an adult, modern, and elegant.
Count how many hooks you will need. It is advised that curtain hooks are placed in a minimum of one out of every five slots in the heading tape including one at either end. So count how many you need and make sure the exact amount is on your pole or track.
With these descriptions in mind, browsing through shutter treatments stores will be a breeze. It won't be long before you end up with your custom shutter treatment that suits your shutters perfectly.
Hanging curtains is a two man (or woman) operation! Ensure you have a sturdy ladder. While one person is inserting the curtain hook into the eyelet of the track or pole the other person must take the weight of the remaining curtain, failure to do this will result in the remaining curtain sliding down the strings and ruining the even gather you have created.
