Fit Your Curtains Like a Pro

Installing your new curtains is simple when you follow our step-by-step instructions. Whether you're using a curtain pole or track, we’ll help you get the perfect finish.

🛠️ What You’ll Need:

• Curtain pole or track

• Screws and wall plugs

• Drill and screwdriver

• Spirit level

• Pencil and measuring tape

• Step ladder

• Curtains (of course!)

---

🧭 Step 1: Mark the Position

• Use a tape measure and spirit level to mark where your pole or track brackets will go.

• We recommend placing your pole 15–20cm above the window and extending 15–30cm beyond each side for maximum coverage and light control.

---

🔩 Step 2: Fit the Brackets

• Drill holes where marked.

• Insert wall plugs (especially in plaster walls).

• Screw in the brackets firmly.

• Double-check the alignment with your level before tightening.

---

🪵 Step 3: Attach the Pole or Track

• For poles: Slide on curtain rings (if using) before attaching to brackets.

• For tracks: Clip or screw the track into position per manufacturer instructions.

---

🧵 Step 4: Hang the Curtains

Based on Curtain Header Type:

• Eyelet Curtains: Simply slide each eyelet onto the pole.

• Pencil Pleat Curtains: Pull the heading tape strings to gather to the correct width, then attach curtain hooks to the back loops.

• Tab Top or Tie Top Curtains: Loop over the pole and tie or slide as needed.

Make sure the curtains are evenly gathered and hang at the desired drop.

---

✅ Final Checks

• Adjust gathers or folds for a balanced look.

• Test draw the curtains to ensure smooth movement.

• Steam or iron out creases if needed (check fabric care instructions first).
