DIY – Hanging Window Treatments?

Question by kitkat_137: DIY – Hanging Window Treatments?
I just bought a new house; but, there are no window coverings (or fittings) existing. I would like to hang curtains and perhaps blinds in the windows; but, I don’t know how to measure appropriately so that the rod is well-placed and the curtains are long enough. Any advice?

Yes, one thing you may want to know is when securing the brackets to the wall you want to secure the screws into wood.. There normally will be wood behind the sheetrock within 2″ along both sides of the window and up to the ceiling. If you try to spread the brackets farther apart the rod will fall down and you will have holes in the wall.

Am I right? This applies particularly with the decor, or specifically with the window treatments.

You might want to learn some tricks you can use to make sure your curtains are hanging perfectly. Curtains give a room with that “finished look,” and also blocks bright sunshine but helps retain warmth during winter. Watch this video and learn more.
