Using One Curtain Panel Per Window

Usually the drapery panels should equal two and a half times the window width.

Using one curtain panel per window.

One panel per window will look very skimpy and certainly. Another option for a room with two windows is to pull both panels to one side and hold in place with a tie back. They can be hung with the tie on the right or the left of the window. The amount you add depends on how far to the side of the window you want the curtains to hang.

So no i don t recommend it. A single panel may also be more cost effective for. One curtain panel on a window would look funny to me unless you could tie it back on one side but it would need to balance out with the other windows. Can be a roman shade style or hanging straight down from the bar and pair them up with two windows to draw the eye to the center of the wall.

Yes one drapery panel per window would look out of place. Purchased curtain panels always look skimpy to me because i like to use fabric generously and have nice full pleats. Long panels should look as if they are full enough to pull across the entire window. Usually curtains are hung in pairs but an asymmetrical look can be very attractive and so you may want to hang only a single curtain panel.

If you haven t chosen one measure the width of the window and add 1 to 3 inches for each side of the window. For covering windows however single panel drapes have a variety of uses. For example the left curtain panel should be drawn to the left and the right curtain panel should be drawn to the right. The second window should be a mirror image of the first.

Measure the width of the curtain rod if you have chosen it. The rule of double the width for the fabric needed is important as is the use of the two curtains. Most of the time curtains come in pairs. Yes i think a room s look can be ruined by the use of skimpy curtains.
