Hanging curtains on apex windows, also known as triangular windows or gable windows, can be a bit challenging due to their unique shape. Here are some general steps you can follow:
- Measurements: Measure the width and height of the window accurately. Also, measure the distance from the top of the window to the floor or the desired length for your curtains.
- Choose the right hardware: Look for curtain rods or tracks that are suitable for apex windows. You may need custom hardware or adjustable rods to fit the angle of the window properly.
- Select curtains: Choose curtains that complement the style of your room and the shape of the window. Consider lightweight fabrics that are easy to manipulate around the angles of the window.
- Install the hardware: Install the curtain rod or track according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that it is securely attached to the wall or ceiling.
- Hang the curtains: Start by hanging the curtains on the rod or track. If you’re using curtain rings with clips, simply clip the curtains onto the rings. If you’re using curtains with a rod pocket or grommets, thread them onto the rod.
- Adjust the curtains: Once the curtains are hung, adjust them to fit the shape of the window. You may need to gather or pleat the fabric at the top to create a neat appearance.
- Secure the curtains: Use curtain tiebacks or holdbacks to keep the curtains in place and allow natural light to enter the room when desired.
- Finishing touches: Step back and assess the appearance of the curtains. Make any final adjustments to ensure they hang evenly and frame the window nicely.
If you’re unsure about any step of the process or if you have a particularly challenging window shape, consider consulting the best professionals in the trade.
