There are three important factors to consider when choosing where to hang your curtain poles:
Height – we recommend positioning the pole 10-15cm above the window. This creates the illusion of taller windows, elongating the room.
Width – we recommend extending the pole at least 10cm or longer on each side. This will ensure no natural light is blocked when the curtains are fully opened, allowing maximum light exposure when required.
Supports – take into consideration the length and weight of the pole, as well as the curtains being hung, when choosing brackets. Always refer to the instructions provided with your curtain pole for the most accurate guidance.
