How to Drape a Sheer Curtain for a Window Treatment Idea

Sheer curtains create fluid and translucent effects to showcase your windows in their best light. Utilize curtain accessories and hardware to give sheer curtains every opportunity to drape and sweep with fluidity and grace. Take advantage of the gentle way sheer curtains envelop the ground. Make your sheer panels enhance the beauty of your room while reflecting the world outside your window.

Instructions

- 1
  Hang sheer curtains from a lightweight curtain rod. Combine sheers with a light-colored curtain rod or a curtain rod with delicate finials for a subtle touch.
- 2
  Clip curtain rings to the tops of your sheer curtain panels. Use curtain rings the same color as the rod or the curtains for a flowing effect to the way the curtains hang. Space curtain rings evenly and sufficient distance to allow your sheer panels to make graceful folds between rings when the curtains are pulled closed.

  Hang sheer panels that fall 2 or 3 inches past the bottom of the wall. Arrange closed curtains so they billow at the bottom along their width. When pulled into tiebacks, allow the bottom halves of sheer panels to sweep along the floor and the wall in an arc.
