Answers to a Tall and Narrow window ?

My window treatment ideas for this kind of window. Set the curtains wider than you would normally. This gives the illusion of a wider window. Make the rod or track around 30cm wider each side of your window. Rather than the usual 20cm. Then when you open your curtains don't push them back as far as you would normally.

Bay window Pelmet

Wide window causing a problem ?

Window treatment ideas for this kind of window are to not set the curtains too wide off the window. Probably only 15cm at most. Even though you have a lot of curtain fabric to stack back when they open. You can use tie backs to hold them off the window. Another option is to use a thinner fabric.

Another thing that works well with french door window treatments as an example. Is to give the window more height by fitting a valance or pelmet. Only rather than the usual 20cm depth make it 30 -35cm deep and fix it higher on the wall. So with the curtains not set to wide and a deeper top treatment this gives the illusion of a squarer window.

The dreaded arched window treatments !

Best window treatment ideas for arched windows. Most folks find this style of window a real pain. It can be as simple or as complicated curtain idea as you want to make it. The easiest thing to do is so simply fit a curtain rod straight across over the window and hang a pair of curtains. Just simply treat it like any other window.

If you want to work with the shape and have arched window curtains that drape back into tie backs, then the best way is to make a cardboard template of the arch at the top of the window. Then take the drop measurements, you want to measure from the highest point in the center of the arch down to th window sill. Then measure up both sides to the point where the arch starts. Then finally measure the full window width. If someone is making the curtains for you just give them the sizes as measured and the cardboard template. If your having a go at making yourself then you need to multiply all your width sizes by 2 to 2.5 to allow for gather depending on the curtain header style and the thickness of your drapery fabric.

What to do with a door curtain !

Window treatment ideas for doors. Normally you would have a single door panel curtain drawing back to the hinge side of your door. It makes a lot of sense to have the curtain tied back. Sometimes there is not enough room on the hinge side of the door for the curtain to stack back off the door properly. You can have the curtain draw back the opposite way as long as you have room to draw the curtain completely clear of the door.

If you only have a small space on the hinge side of your door and no room the other side. Then the best option is to have an Grommet panels on a rod with the curtain fabric at around 1.5 X width of the door. This will stack back into a very small space.

kitchen window curtains

Window treatment ideas for kitchens. Your over sink curtains should be a few cm's short of the work surface even if this means just reaching the window sill. Also generally tied back to avoid splashes. I recommend you don't use them and if you need privacy then fit a roller blind with moisture resistant fabric.

Another thing to consider is having unlined curtains made of a good polycotton fabric. This will enable you to launder your curtains whenever they get cooking smells on them. In your kitchen you can afford to go for colorful kitchen curtains to really give your window a lift. Tier kitchen curtains are really good way to dress a kitchen window where you need some privacy.
