Hang curtains that make rooms taller

draft · verifying asked 185 ways distilled today
  1. 1

    Mount high.

    Two-thirds of the way from frame to ceiling, or fifteen centimetres up. High rods pull the eye up and grow the room.

  2. 2

    Go wide past the window.

    Rod ends twenty to thirty centimetres beyond the frame so open curtains reveal glass, not block it.

  3. 3

    Double the fabric width.

    Curtains at two times the window width fall in full folds. Skimpy width reads like hung bedsheets.

  4. 4

    Kiss the floor.

    Hem touching or one centimetre above. Flood-length is the single most common curtain mistake.

  5. 5

    Fix into plugs, not plaster.

    Proper anchors for the brackets, a centre bracket past two metres of span.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
