Sacramento Movers Discuss How Measure Window treatments For A New Home

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - July 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Right after moving into a new home and unloading the cartons, the next stage will be decorating. Setting up curtains over windows is often one of the initial projects on the to-do checklist given that these create privacy, cover from the sun and visual appeal to a home. Window treatments can be simply purchased in any home store in a number of colors, designs, textures, and sizes. Or to achieve a personalized appearance, go to the fabric retail store and sew tailor made panels. Whichever option, the initial step is vital to the job: take precise measurements.

First, decide what style of curtain will accommodate the windows or sliding door. A café style covering, a light crisp accent, or formal drapery? Would floor length be the best selection or just a cover for the window area? Next determine where the curtain rod will go. For a regular look curtain rods can be positioned two or three inches over the top of the windowpane. When doing the job with floor-length window treatments, the curtain rod is generally fitted just a couple inches underneath the ceiling. Think about putting the drape rod just within the window frame. This works well for small kitchen windows where all that's needed is a simple covering of fabric to reduce the sun’s bright rays.

As soon as the style of window curtain is decided upon, the following step is to measure the windows. Measure each window for width and height. If using floor length window curtains, measure height from the curtain rod to the ground. For drapes that simply stretch past the windowsill, measure from the curtain rod to three inches under the window. Next, to be able to allow for a full, gathered look, it is critical to obtain or make window panels that will be one-and-a-half to a few times the width of the windowpane width measurement.

Curtains can be fairly uncomplicated to mount as well as make a significant difference in terms of the coziness and completeness of a home decorating scheme. As soon as the measurements have been taken and the shopping and installation completed there'll be one last stage. Get a seat and appreciate shade in the summer months and warmth in the winter months!
