If you move a lot, make it a practice to always buy 95″+ curtains and re-hem as you need to for each home. Curtains can always be hemmed up but can’t really be let down. While my search wasn’t quite exhaustive, here’s a few things I learned in recent weeks AND over the years: I dragged home many sets and returned almost all of them. While I don’t like to spend a lot of money on curtains, I am a bit particular about the quality of the fabric and the look of the curtain itself once it’s hung. In the last few weeks, I have spent A LOT of time looking at the various options of drapes and curtains for our house. Using rings is quick, easy, and easily gives curtains a completely custom look. An alternative to grommets is to use curtain rings along the top of panels. They are easy to put on and instantly give an updated appearance to basic curtains. I’ve added these to cafe curtains, cabinet curtains and even long panels. Of all the ways to hang curtains, I find adding grommets one of the quicker and easier solutions for creating modern and clean panels. Even if you’re not a sewer, you can turn anything (a table cloth, yardage of fabric, bedsheets) into clean and polished curtains with just an iron…and of course, it’s perfect for hemming up curtains that are too long! Both the hem tape and the larger sheets are great for customizing or tailoring curtains and window treatments to your style and your windows.
Seriously! The double-sided adhesive Velcro is so strong that it is perfect for hanging valences and other tailored treatments. I use Velcro to hang curtains all the time. Whether you use larger hooks to hold up rods or smaller hooks to hold up curtains with clips, these are a practical and easily removable solution. I’m a big fan of these jumbo command hooks because they hold curtain rods really well and can hold a lot of weight. Command hooks in all sorts of shapes and sizes are great for hanging lightweight curtains. We need flexibility and simplicity, and these rods offer just that! While I always see gorgeous rods and hardware on other blogs, I know the investment is just not practical for our living situation right now. Whenever we have curtains to hang, we can be confident we have a simple, dependable, and sizable rod that will always work. Years ago, we invested in a whole house worth of these rods, and they move with us every time. These rods are super inexpensive have a basic, classic style and extend from 28″ to 152″ length. For my window treatment solutions for renters, I constantly turn to these quick, easy and inexpensive hanging essentials to get our window treatments without the hassle or the cost! When you move as much as we do, you can never be sure what kind of window sizes and situations you’ll encounter! We’ve had everything from the dreaded vertical blinds, regular blinds, no blinds, curtain tracks, small windows, big windows, sliding doors, moulding, no moulding…you name it! Curtain rods, brackets, and hardware can add up fast, especially if you have to re-configure your window treatments with every move. While I’m currently crushing on somewhat traditional, long curtains, I’ve employed a variety of curtains, shades and faux treatments over the years, and I thought it would be fun (and useful!) to share with you all some of my favorite window treatment solutions for renters! As I mentioned, I think putting some sort of window treatments on the windows is one of the quickest, easiest and totally temporary ways to infuse style into a space. On Monday, I showed you all some of the curtains I’ve hung throughout our home in recent weeks.
