Curtains play a vital role in enhancing the aesthetic value of your home interior. If you want to make a big impression when it comes to your home décor style, choosing the right curtains can make a big impact. But it is not just about the curtains you choose, but also about how you install them. Do not commit the common mistakes that homeowners make when installing curtains.

Hanging Curtains at the Wrong Height

This is the most common mistake that homeowners make when installing curtains at home. You invest a lot of money to find the right curtains that would make an aesthetic impact. But oftentimes, it is unable to achieve the desired look for your home because you do not install them at optimal heights.

The ideal height for your curtain is one that would provide you with lighting control inside the room. At the same time, you do not want the curtain to drag the floor, or else it will only be collecting dust. Make sure you strike a balance between how high or low you want the curtains to be. Measure your windows height and the ceiling height prior to buying curtains for your home. This will ensure that you can get the height right once you install them.

Curtain is Too Low

Buying a curtain that is too low is another mistake that could lessen the impact of curtains in your home interior. While it is common for people to over-estimate the height of the curtains they buy, buying a curtain that is too short is a major no-no. With a longer curtain, you can at least cut them off or place them as close to the ceiling as possible to compensate for the length. But when the curtain is too low, there is little room for adjustment.

Choosing the Wrong Curtains

Is there such a thing as wrong or right curtains for specific rooms in your house? Apparently, there is. Experts suggest that you choose a curtain based on the type of room and the purpose it serves. A common example of this is your bedroom. This room serves as a very specific purpose and should be an ideal place to sleep in or relax. The ideal type of curtain is one that is heavy and dark so as to allow as little natural light into the room as possible. By controlling the natural light that enters the room, it makes it more suitable for sleeping. It also helps to block out noise from the outside to make the room more conducive to sleeping.

Take time to evaluate the room with which you are buying the curtains for. Decide from there what type of curtain would be best to match the function that it serves.

Not Investing on Quality Curtain Rods

The type of curtain rod you use is also a critical factor when installing curtains in your home. A lot of homeowners tend to cut costs when it comes to the rod so they can splurge on the curtains. But this can be a significant error in judgment because rods that are of low quality can make your curtains look flimsy. Invest in good quality materials for your curtain rod, such as wood or metal. They can also elevate the aesthetic value of your curtain arrangement.
