Curtain Accessories

How to install curtain accessories

To install and fix curtain rods, you need to leave a 10-15 cm gap between the rod and the wall. This rod, made of metal or other material, supports the curtain and allows it to slide. Curtain rods can be surface-mounted, ceiling-mounted or mounted between two walls, always above the window. Depending on the weight of the curtains and the type of finish, choose larger or smaller rods, with 2 or 3 fasteners. Curtain rods are available in bar, wire and track versions.

In today's world, accessorizing means matching the color of curtains and furniture with the color of the walls. This strategy gives the impression of enlarging the space of your home, as well as reducing shadows and blind spots. Personalization is more than ever in the spotlight, and sad, impersonal homes are a thing of the past!
