Responses to a large and narrow window?

My ideas window treatment for this kind of window. Set the curtains wider than you would normally. This gives the illusion of a larger window. Make rod or track around 30cm wider each side of your window. Rather than the usual 20cm. Then when you open your curtains are not as far away as you would normally.

large window is a problem?

ideas for window treatment for this kind of window are to not set the curtains across the window. Probably only 15cm at most. Even if you have lots of fabric to stack back when opening. You can use tie backs to keep them out of the window. Another option is to use a thin fabric.

Another thing that works well to give the window height is a valance or pelmet. But rather than the usual 20cm depth make 30-35cm deep and set higher on the wall. So with the curtains not set the salary range and better top that gives the illusion of a rectangular window.

The arched windows formidable!

The best window treatment ideas for arched windows. Most people find this style of window a real pain.

It can be as simple or as complicated as you want to do.

The best thing to do is simply good curtain rod right through the window over and hang a pair of curtains. Simply treat it like any other window.

If you want to work with the form (talk about making life difficult for yourself) and have curved top curtains that drapes back into tie backs, then what you should do. On the width measure every 15cm in the window put markers on the edge of the window. Then write down the full width of the window.

next measure and take note of the two outer edges up to where the arch begins. Finally, at each marker position on your window sill to the top of the line where the tape measure touches the curve. make a note to one of these vertical measurements. It's a good idea to make a quick sketch of the window and note your size next to the places where you measured.

If someone made the curtains for you just give them the size measured. If you have a discount to you, (take a tranquilizer), you must multiply all widths of 2.5 to allow you to collect.

What to do with a door curtain!

treatment ideas for doors. Normally, you would have a single curtain drawing back near the hinge of the door. It makes little sense to have the curtain attached. (Otherwise the curtain of the door swing will end up like Supermans cape every time someone opens the door on a windy day)

Sometimes there is not enough space on the side of the hinge of the door for the curtain to stack back door properly. You can roll back the curtain opposite direction as long as you have room to draw the curtain completely free of the door.

If you have only a small space on the hinge side of the door and no room on the other side. Then, the best option is to have a curtain on a rod eyelets 1.5X width of the door. This new battery in a very small space.

Kitchen window Ideas

ideas for kitchen window treatment. Your well should be more curtains a few inches short of the work surface even if it means just reaching the edge of the window. Also generally tied to avoid splashing. (Your kitchen floor will be flooded again until the end when the kids wash up after dinner, but at least your curtains should stay dry)

Another suggestion is to not use the curtains and if you need privacy then.
