How to Make Your Curtains Fit
-
Measure twice, cut once
Measure your curtain drop at least twice. Make sure the length reaches the necessary level before fixing your rail and hanging the curtains. -
Curtains and walls should match
Curtain colors should complement your walls. First, match the tone. Second, aim to use a different shade than the main wall color. -
Customize your curtains with ease
Secure your curtains to a board. Use a roller and a stencil to apply a 2:1 mix of paint and fabric medium to create an impressive custom look. -
Ditch stitches with no-sew curtains
For a custom look, use Heat N Bond adhesive hemming tape to combine fabric scarves. Iron flat and use as many scarves as needed for your drop. -
Swap blinds for curtains
Replace blinds with curtains using drapery hooks. Removing the blinds, glue hooks to the top of your curtains and hang from the existing clips.
