Putting up a new set of curtains can completely change the look and feel of a room and as a beginner it is pretty easy to make simple curtains and by using the right fabric and colours they will look as if they have been professionally made. If you are putting up new curtains you will need to have a curtain rod and this will also need to be matched to colour scheme of your room. The more elegant a room is going to look then the more ornate the curtain rod can be. The type of fabric being used will also have a bearing on the curtain rod, as heavier fabrics will mean you need a more secure rod.
Before applying any soft furnishings for windows you will need to measure the windows first. This is so you can ascertain what length of fabric you will need for the curtains. You will need to take two basic measurements, you will need to measure the top of the track to establish the width you’ll need and measure the length when you have decided whether you want the curtains to fall to the floor or just below the window sill. This is really down to personal taste. If you do decide to go down the route of making your own curtains then it is best to start with a simple design and once you have got the hang of it you can then move onto a more complex design.
