Many people simply let their window curtains drop the whole way down a window to the floor. And while that may add some much needed color and design to a room, it is negated by what it does to bring in the light. Curtains that hang all the way down block out light and sunshine which can be an asset to every household. This guide will help you understand how measuring for curtains is important before installing them on your windows as well as how tying back your curtain rods can improve light and air flow in your home.

 

Purchase Tiebacks That Match Your Home Style

 

The most important thing to remember when choosing curtain tiebacks is to choose ones that match your home style. For example, if you have an elegant Victorian home then you do not want to choose a curtain tieback that has an art deco design. This will just look out of place in your living room or bedroom.

 

For example, if you have a modern house, then you should get modern curtain tiebacks that match that style. If your bedroom has patterns on the walls and bedding, then maybe something like this would work well for your window treatments as well.

 

 

There are several different types of curtain tiebacks you can use to tie back the curtains on your windows:

 

1. Velcro (or similar hook-and-loop fastener) attachments: These are great for small children or pets who may get tangled in the curtain fabric. You can also use them if you don’t want any holes in your wall and don’t mind having velcro hanging out on it all day long.

 

2. Sash/rod clips: These clips are usually made from metal or plastic and have a spring-loaded design that allows them to grip onto sashes or rods securely without slipping off over time due to friction wear against each other over time like most other types of clips do over time due to friction wear against each other over time like most other types of clips do over.

 

Make Sure Your Curtains are Wider Than The Window

 

If you have a big, wide window, you may be tempted to buy long curtains to cover it. That’s fine if your windows are high up on a wall where no one can see them from the ground. If your curtains are low enough for people to see into your house, however, you need to make sure they’re wider than the window.

 

The same rule applies even if your curtains are short enough to cover the window and not hang down over it. You still want to make sure that when someone is standing outside looking at your house, they can’t see behind them.

 

If you have a tall window and want longer curtains that fall down over the sill, then choose ones that are wide enough so no one can see in at all when they look at the house from outside (or inside).

 

Decide The Height Of Your Curtain Tiebacks

 

The first thing you need to do is measure the height of your curtains and decide how long you want your curtain tiebacks to be. This will help determine what type of curtain tieback will work best for your home. For example, if you have short curtains that sit right above your window sill, then you may want a shorter curtain tieback that doesn’t go all the way down to the ground (these are known as “drop-curtains”). If on the other hand, you have tall windows with long curtains that hang all the way down to the floor (known as “roller-blinds”).

 

Most people choose somewhere between 12 inches and 24 inches (30 cm – 60 cm) above their window or door frame because it makes sense when they look at it. However, if you want something different than this then there’s nothing wrong with that either!

 

For Regular Size Windows

 

So, you’ve got a curtain tieback and you’re all set to hang it up. But how do you know what size tieback you need?

 

If your window is standard-sized, then the height of your curtain tieback will depend on its width. To determine the right size for your window, measure the width of your window frame (from left to right). Then use this formula: multiply that number by two and add four inches. That’s how long your curtain tieback should be.

 

Here’s an example: if your window frame measures 40 inches wide, then 40 x 2 = 80 + 4 = 84 inches long. So in this case, an 84 inch long curtain tieback would be perfect!

 

For Very Tall Windows

 

If your windows are very tall, then it might make sense to have tiebacks that are longer than normal. This is because when curtains are hanging from a high window they tend to sag more than they would if they were hanging from a shorter one. So if you have very tall windows, consider getting tiebacks that are longer than normal so that they can help keep the bottom tier of your curtains from drooping too much when they’re closed.

 

If Needed, Install Curtain Tie Back Hooks To Hold Your Curtain Tiebacks

 

If you want your tiebacks to actually “tie back” your curtains, you’re going to need some hooks installed on the backs of those panels. You can do this yourself with a drill (or ask an electrician) and some wire anchors—it doesn’t take long at all! The important thing is that when you install these hooks, make sure they have enough room for both ends of each tieback loop so that when you hang them up for the day, there’s room for them to hang freely without getting tangled up with one another or caught on anything else in their way of hanging freely where they belong—which is on top of your window frame itself.

 

Wrap The Tieback Around The Curtain And Secure It On The Hook

 

Once you have installed the hook things on each side of your window frame (or wherever else), you can wrap that beautiful tieback around the curtain rod (or whatever it happens to be called) and secure it with one of those hook things! This should hold the tieback in place no matter how hard wind storms hit outside—and if they do get knocked down by a storm or something else like that? No worries! Just put them back up again when everything calms down outside!
