Window treatments frame a room. Hung well, even inexpensive curtains make windows look bigger and ceilings higher.
Tips
- Mount the rod close to the ceiling, or well above the window frame
- Extend the rod beyond the frame so curtains don't block light
- Choose lengths that just touch the floor
- Lined curtains can help with drafts and summer heat
Child safety
Use cordless blinds in homes with young children, or keep cords out of reach.
