How not to hang curtains: designer tells what mistakes go unnoticed

Decorating windows, or simply choosing curtains, often completes the renovation of a room or apartment as a whole.
The main thing here is not just to choose the right curtains, but also to make sure that they hang correctly.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told us what mistakes in window decoration often go unnoticed.
Cornice
It all starts with the cornice. Sometimes it is hung very low above the window, which significantly affects the perception of the interior of the room.
Usually the curtain rod is hung at a distance of up to 15 cm from the window. In standard apartments, the curtain rod is often attached to the very ceiling.
Width of the cornice
The width of the curtains depends on the width of the cornice. It is important that it extends beyond the window on both sides by at least 15-30 centimeters.
In this case, the folds on the curtains should be light, loose and slightly cover the window.
It is also acceptable for curtains to cover the entire wall on which the window is located.
Curtain width
The narrow panels that hang on both sides of the window are not only impractical, but even look cheap.
It is important to choose a fabric that is at least three-quarters the width of the window.
Curtains for a window width of 2 meters will look beautiful if, when assembled, they are at least 1.5 meters wide.
Length of curtains
Short curtains, as well as very long ones, attract attention, but do not do credit to the owners. The golden mean is the distance when there is less than one centimeter between the floor and the fabric.
