Before you look at how to hang curtains, you need to make sure your curtains and curtain pole can work together. Here are some things to consider: For floor-length pencil pleat curtains, measure from the curtain ring eye down to the floor and take off 1cm (0.5 inch) so they can hang nice and straight all the way through their length.

There is no hard and fast rule on how high your curtain pole should be but as a general rule of thumb the norm is to position it around 15-20cms above the window. If the pole you have chosen is quite wide, position it high enough so that it does not come below the window recess. With your curtain pole in place, it’s time to hang the curtains themselves! Here are our tips for hanging eyelet curtains… First of all, decide where you want your curtains to sit: above the windowsill, below it or on the floor. Whichever length you decide upon, it’s important to know that our curtains come in four different lengths: 137cm (54 inches), 182cm (72 inches), 228cm (90 inches) and 274cm (108 inches).

Don’t cut off the cords as you may want to make alterations or change the gather. Use our width table to show you the size of curtains that you need. This table will also indicate whether the width will be a fuller gather or a relaxed one. As an example, for a pole width of 116cm (45.5 inches), choose ready-made curtains that are 117cm (46 inches).All Lighting & Home Lighting Ceiling Lights Floor Lamps Table Lamps Shades Wall Lights Outdoor Lighting Solar Lights Bathroom Lights Light Bulbs String Lights Spotlights Mood Lighting Clearance Lighting Home & Garden BBQs & Accessories Picnic & Outdoor Dining Pizza Ovens & Accessories Plant Pots & Gardening Gifts Baby & Child Clothing & Fashion Accessories Food & Alcohol Candles & Home Fragrance Cards, Gift Cards & Gift Wrap Toys & Games Home & Garden Decorative Accessories Indoor Plant Pots Photo Frames Step 2: Start from the front, sliding the eyelets over the pole with the lining always remaining towards the window.
