Some of these tips will seem really obvious once you read through them, but until you make these mistakes they don actually seem that obvious (or read them). So here they are 8+ simple tips to make sure you get the curtains you want.
Tip 1 ?It won happen to me, yeah right! Measuring up your windows seems easy, but you don know how many people who have contacted me after finding that they Office 2011 Mac Serial had measured up all wrong. They are left with great curtains with big gap in the middle. So take your time Windows 7 Ultimate Key and work with a mate.
Tip 2 ?Inches and cm. This is a bit obvious but make sure you are reading from the right side of the tape. Don right down cm instead of inches or vice versa, it all turns all wrong no matter how you look at it. You either end up with huge curtains and spending far too much, or that great deal ends up looking a bit silly when hung up! Hint get someone to check your measurements for you.
Tip 3 - What are you Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key covering? The next mistake people make is measuring the windows only, it is fine if your curtains are just going to cover the windows, but you need to allow for a curtain rail/rod to be installed above the window and space for curtains to hang when open so they don block the light. Hint ?allow around 4 inches at the top for installing rails, more if hanging off rings.
Tip 4 - Curtains need space. When your curtains are open, you need allow space for them to hang allowing light to come in. Hint - on the sides allow 8-12?for curtains to hang so sunlight can get in, more if you have wider windows/doors.
Tip 5 - My house is perfect, hmmm?maybe not?! If you are in an older house or a wooden house sometimes not everything is on the straight and narrow. Measure both sides to check everything lines up. Also if you are measuring off rails/rods you may find that they were not installed exactly straight.
Tip 6 ?Use Steel. When measuring don use a cloth or a Ikea paper measuring tape. Use a metal measuring tape, so you get a correct measurement. And err on the side of extra width or length it is better to have an inch too wide curtain, than an annoying gap.
Tip 7 ?Rods & Rails. If you already have rails/rods installed it Office 2011 Mac Serial is much easier, just measure them. If no rods & rails then make sure you know what you are getting, some rods have decorative ends which take up space.
Tip 8 ?Work with a mate. Unless you live on boat with small round windows, you will need someone to help as most windows are wider & longer than your arm span. See if you can get a third person in to write down the measurements as you go. Office Mac 2011 Product Key Sorry no jokes about how many people it takes to measure a window.
Bonus tip ?Widths & Lengths. When you write them down, put width (W) first and length (L) second, drawing it out helps stop stuff ups too.
