Sacramento Movers Blog About How Measure Curtains For Your New Home

Online, September 11, 2012 (Newswire.com) - In a recent blog post Sacrament Movers discuss how to measure your window and install curtains. Their discussion addresses where purchasing curtains from home stores versus making them from scratch. You can easily purchase curtains from any home store in a variety of colors, styles, textures, and sizes. Or if you want to accomplish a custom look, head to the fabric store and sew your own panels. Whichever you choose to do, the first step is essential to the project: take accurate measurements.

First of all decide what style of curtain you are going for. A cafe style covering, a light crisp accent, or formal drapery? Do you want them to be floor length or just cover the window area? Next determine where the curtain rod will go. For a standard look you can place the rod two to three inches above the top of the window. If you want floor-length drapes, you may place the rod just a couple inches below the ceiling. Or you may even consider placing the curtain rod just within the window frame. This works well for small kitchen windows where you just need a simple layer of material to cut the sun's sharp rays.
