How to hang sheer curtains under drapes.

Hang the curtain rod onto its hardware and adjust the drapes so that the material is evenly distributed across the window. For drapes to look full the panels should have a combined width of at least double the width of the window. We used a solid sheer panel here because we just wanted to let light in and didn t need to ever completely uncover the window. Hang a curtain rod close to the ceiling on a tall wall with short windows to create the illusion of taller windows.

The rod pocket is designed to be tight which allows the fabric to ruche correctly. When they stop a couple of inches above the floor it can make the ceilings look lower. The classic way to arrange a sheer panel and a solid panel is to let. The rod for the valance will depend upon the style of the window treatment but it should come out from the wall at least 4 inches.

Feed the sheer panel onto the smaller drapery rod. Sheer curtains cascading from a rod hung near the ceiling down to the floor convey a dramatic elegance. Arrange the folds of both sets of curtains by sliding them along the rods until the folds are arranged the way you want them. To hang curtains start by determining your window s height and marking the wall where you d like the curtain rod brackets to be installed with a pencil.

Do not allow your drapes to hang above the floor. Thread the rod through the drapes. Lightweight curtains and sheer panels can be hung with a café rod while heavier material will need a regular curtain rod that comes out from the wall about 2 inches. Brown sheers hung against light colored walls provide a striking contrast.
