For a rod pocket-style panel, you\u2019ll likely want it to hang at a height so that the bottom edge just touches the floor. \u00a0To ensure the brackets are equally spaced on either side of the window, measure from the center of the window outward. For example, if your curtain rod is 48-inches across, measure 24-inches out from that center mark on either side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NOTE: When selecting your panels, don&#8217;t limit yourself to the window&#8217;s exact height and width. Consider a longer panel hung closer to the ceiling for a more dramatic look. You can also add panels to create more width or fullness.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Step 2: Determine Bracket Placement<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-101357 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/82c34ecc88525edce8acc383db6d1138.jpg\" alt=\"How To Hang Curtains - Determine Bracket Placement\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To handle the weight of the hardware and curtain fabric, solid support within the wall is essential. When determining bracket placement, use a stud finder to locate the studs. If you do not have studs in the desired location, be sure to use appropriate wall anchors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make light guide marks on the wall where the bracket screw holes will be located. Then, check with a laser level between the two bracket locations to ensure your rod will be perfectly parallel with the floor and ceiling. <\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Step 3: Install Brackets<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-101358 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/969d38510d58aa053f6722dc0f34e371.jpg\" alt=\"How To Hang Curtains - Install Brackets\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the hardware provided, install the brackets. Most brackets come in two parts, allowing for depth adjustments and easier installation. Once the brackets are secure, reassemble them and adjust, as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Step 4: Add Curtains to Rod<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-101359 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/96ed9f09d44c33e4d537161887e03c95.jpg\" alt=\"How To Hang Curtains - Add Curtains to Rod\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unbox curtains and thread the panels onto the rod, then place the rod into the brackets. Tighten the set screw so the rod stays put when you open and close the curtains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NOTE: Don\u2019t forget to steam your curtains for a Pin-worthy look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.homedepot.com\/how-to-hang-curtains\/\">How To Hang Curtains<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.homedepot.com\/\">The Home Depot Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attractive window treatments are an easy way to add an additional layer of style and sophistication to any room.
