Start with the rod or track, since the fabric hangs on it rather than the glass. Take note of its total length, and then measure the distance from the top of the rod to the point where you want the hem to end. Fit the hardware first wherever possible, as assuming its height throws the drop off by several centimetres. Curtains are specified width first, thus a 140x240 cm panel is 140 cm wide and 240 cm long. Before you begin browsing, note both figures and the room name. Should Curtains Be Placed On The Sill, The Floor, Or The Pool? Floor-skimming works well in most settings. Leave around a cm of leeway so that the hem stays off the tiles and stays clean as the panel is drawn. Sill length suits a short kitchen window, or anywhere a chest of drawers or desk sits underneath the glass. Pooling, where a few extra centimetres of fabric rest on the floor, appears soft and formal in a bedroom, but it collects dust and catches on dogs and vacuum cleaners. Because these three are centimetres apart, you should decide on a finish before measuring the drop. How Many Panels Does One Window Require? Buy by breadth rather than window. Your panels should be one and a half to two times the length of the rod, as the excess is what forms folds when the curtains are closed. Most conventional apertures require two panels, which is why curtains are available in two-piece sets. A four-piece set dresses two matched windows or one very large span. A small window can accommodate a single panel held to one side. A set purchased to the exact rod length can be identified by its flat, sparse cloth. What Distinguishes Blackout, Dimout, And Sheer Curtains? How much light each one allows through. Blackout fabric has a strong weave or a backing coat, so it is ideal for a bedroom facing the morning sun. Dimout sits in the middle, and the room reads dusky rather than dark, which suits a lounge where a screen must be visible at midday. Sheer voile keeps a room bright and blocks the view only when the light outside is stronger than the light within. Homebox includes all three, so consider how dark you need the room during its brightest hour. Which Heading Should I Choose, And What Hardware Would It Require? The three options are eyelet, pencil pleat, and tab top, and the hardware depends on your choice. Metal-ringed eyelet panels thread directly onto a rod and fall into deep, even waves, making them ideal for a bustling family room. The pencil pleat gathers on a tape and hangs from hooks, so it requires rings or a track behind it, and it has a more classic finish. The tab top wraps over the tube, creating a flattering and informal look. Select the heading first, and then match your curtain rods to it. Can I Hang Both Sheer And Blackout Curtains On One Window? Yes, and layering is the most versatile method to style a window. Hang the sheer nearest the glass, with the blackout pair in front, using a double bracket or a rod set free of a track. By day, the voile softens the sun and protects you from a facing balcony. After nightfall, the heavy pair closes over it, and the room becomes completely black. Keep both layers in the same colour family to ensure that the window seems settled even when everything is open. Before placing your order, ensure that the front pair clears the rear. Do Heavier Curtains Reduce Heat And Glare? They help, but no curtain can cure a hot window on its own. A lined or velvet panel adds extra fabric between the glass and the room, slowing the heat buildup behind a sunny window in the afternoon and reducing glare from screens. Heavier material hangs straighter and reduces noise from a busy street. The trade-off is weight, as a dense pair requires a stronger rod and more space to stack back. Light voile does none of this, so reserve it for a shaded area. How Can I Wash Curtains Without Shrinking Them? Use cool water, a gentle cycle, and no hot dryer. Heat shrinks curtains, so wash them cold and hang them back on the line while they are still slightly damp, letting their weight pull out the creases. Wash both pieces of a pair at the same time to ensure even wear and fading. Read the label first, because a blackout backing prefers a damp cloth to a spin in the drum, and velvet is best steamed. Between washes, use an upholstery hoover to clean the fabric. Which Curtains Work Best In A Bedroom And Which In A Living Room? Bedrooms demand darkness, but living rooms prefer control. A blackout pair earns its place in a bedroom by blocking out an early sunrise, and it works best on an east-facing window or in a child's room with an afternoon nap. Living rooms frequently benefit from dimout or multilayer panels because the goal is to soften daylight rather than eliminate it entirely. Replicate the tones in your bedding collection so that the bedroom reads as a cohesive plan. Order your pair online from Homebox and have it delivered to any address in Bahrain. What Works with Balcony Doors and Floor-to-Ceiling Glazing? Go longer and wider than the opening. Tall glass requires an extra-long drop, such as 140x320 cm, and the panels must stack well clear of the entrance to avoid walking through fabric on the way out. Fix the rod close to the ceiling rather than slightly above the frame to maintain the vertical line intact. A large spread frequently necessitates more than one pair. If the door stays open, choose a heavier material because a light panel lifts with the air. First, consider the possibilities in the wider window coverings collection. Are Curtains Appropriate For A Kitchen Or Bathroom Window? Only where the fabric won't be exposed to water or high temperatures. A sill-length panel softens a kitchen window located away from the cooker, and a smooth weave handles cooking film considerably better than a deep pile. Keep the hem away from the sink and open a window when cooking to prevent steam from sitting in the cloth. A roller blind is the tidier option above a frequently used work surface or in a bathroom. Choose a covering for one wall rather than the entire house. Can I See The Fabric Before Buying Or Ordering Online? Either way, sunshine is an honest test. Holding a panel up in a Homebox store in Manama before committing to a bedroom pair can reveal surprising light, even if the weave looks dense onscreen.
