🛑✋ STOP making these curtain mistakes if you want to elevate your home.
I’m a luxury interior designer and these 3 curtain mistakes are quietly shrinking your rooms:
1️⃣ Hanging your pole too low - Most people hang their curtain pole just above the window frame. But the position of your pole has *nothing* to do with where your window is and has *everything* to do with how tall you want your room to feel.
⭐️ The rule: hang your pole as close to the ceiling as possible. Low curtains make ceilings feel shorter. High and wide curtains instantly elevate the whole room.
2️⃣ Hanging skinny curtains - Curtains that are stretched flat across the window look cheap no matter how much you paid for them. Fullness is what makes curtains look expensive. Elevate your space by taking your curtains wide if the wall allows - even if your window is small.
3️⃣ Hanging short curtains - Curtains hovering above the floor look like trousers that shrank in the wash. Let them fall all the way down - kissing the floor, or with a slight break for a more relaxed, luxurious look.
The best part? No renovation required. Just move the pole higher, and let your curtains hang fuller and longer.
Every small tweak can bring you closer to the home you dream of.
