How to Hang Curtains on Arched French Doors

Window treatments on French doors serve both utilitarian and decorative purposes. If your French doors have an arch shape along the top edges, hanging curtains becomes slightly more challenging. By using special curved curtain rods, you can hang curtains on arched French doors to dress the windows in elegant style. Choose curtains in fabrics and colors that complement the other decor in the room and your French door windows will coordinate beautifully.

  Use the tape measure to measure the inside width of the windows along the arched top edge between the two points where you wish to install the curtains on the arched windows. Write this measurement down.

  Purchase a flexible curtain rod for each arched French door window using the measurement data you gathered. Cut the curtain rods with tin snips so they will fit the inside top edge of the windows.

  Install the mounting clips inside each window frame at the upper left and right corners using the mounting hardware included in the kit.
