By Timothy Olson


When you plan to hang custom made draperies for your window treatment, it's a good idea to have your rods installed before you order your curtains. While there are plenty of options available to you for pre-manufactured drapery panels or curtains, quite a few home owners choose to have draperies custom made. Maybe you have found the perfect fabric for your drapery and you want to add your own custom touch to your interior design.

By selecting and installing your drapery hardware nj first, your installer will be able to create a perfect fit for your window.

It is typically the case that homeowners hold out until after they order their curtains before they start the process of choosing their other components. Finalizing your curtain measurements before you decide on your hardware can lead to problems for highly customized installations.

For instance, a fluted pole that's painted appears completely different if it's stained. That's because wood in the rod reacts in different ways to paint and stain. A stained fluted pole may appear a lot darker because flutes, or grooves, inside the rod absorb more stain than the other areas of the pole.

Getting your custom made curtain to hang exactly where you want it to be a difficult process when you're using curtain rings.

A bracket with elaborate carvings or with an extended projection will require extra widths of fabric if you'd like the curtain to return to the wall. By selecting and hanging your curtain hardware before you measure for your drapes, you can avoid this problem.
