Expert Tips

To create a luxurious feel in your home, you need to be generous with the amount of fabric when choosing your curtains. How much fabric you need depends on several different things. Partly whether the curtains should be full-coverage or only decorative and partly which model you choose, but a good rule of thumb is to choose twice as much fabric as the window is wide. This gives a full and luxurious impression!

One of the most common mistakes when it comes to curtains is hanging them too low, i.e. close to the top of the window sill. This will make the room appear smaller and with lower ceilings.
By hanging your curtains high, you give the impression that the ceiling is higher, which creates space and a sense of exclusivity in the room.
It is advisable to attach the curtain rail to the ceiling if possible or high up on the wall. Curtain rods can also be advantageously attached high up on the wall.

Just as important as hanging the curtains high is choosing the right length for the curtains. To trick the eye into thinking the ceiling is higher, the curtains should run from ceiling to floor. Everyone has slightly different preferences about exactly how long the curtains should be, but one centimeter above the floor usually works for most homes.
If you want to make cleaning easier or for the curtains to hang in public spaces, it is usually said that three centimeters above the floor is enough. Some want the curtains to drag towards the floor to create a truly luxurious feel, but then you have to choose the right material to make it look luxurious.
Choose a thicker material, preferably lined, to get the right feel. It is good to keep in mind when choosing the length that curtains made of natural materials stretch and shrink slightly depending on the humidity.

The width of your curtain rod or track will affect how large the window appears. So choose a track or track that is wider than the window. A good guideline for curtain rods is that they should protrude 15–30 centimeters on each side of the window. This way, the curtains will not cover the window and obscure the view or reduce the amount of light that can enter.
Curtain rails can be used to run along an entire wall, creating space and flexibility! If you have two or more windows that are close together, it can be a good idea to have an uneven number of curtains instead of several pairs of curtains, this way you create symmetry and harmony.
