Gather Your Materials

  • 1

    Measure Across

    Measure the width of your window to determine the size of your
    curtain rod and add 1-3 inches on each side.

  • 2

    Place Your Brackets

    Hang your rod higher than the window for a more dramatic, lengthening
    effect that draws the eye up and makes the ceiling look taller. Use a level
    to mark your measurements and pre-drill holes.

    For drywall, insert wall anchors with a Phillips head screwdriver. For stud mounting,
    align your brackets with the holes and fasten screws directly into the wall.

  • 3

    Hang Your Rod

    If your curtains are rod pocket, back tab or grommet top,
    attach them before hanging. If you're using clip rings or round
    rings, attach the curtain after hanging the rod.

  • 4

    Tighten Screws

    Secure the rod by tightening the bracket screws with an Allen wrench.

  • 5

    Add Flair

    Complete the look with decorative finials or handsome
    holdbacks to keep your curtains open.
