How to Drape Windows in a Corner

A corner window provides a view of the inside of a room and of the scenery outside. Drape curtains in a way that accentuates the window. Use hardware made to accommodate corner windows for ease of installing curtain rods. The hardware should complement other design elements, like lighting fixtures in the room. How you situate the curtains creates a sense of spaciousness and continuity throughout your room with a corner view.

Instructions

    • 1

      Hang narrow curtain panels measured to fall just to the bottom of the windowsill. Use panels made of lightweight material to maintain a roomy feel to the window area.

    • 2

      Install curtain rods on each side of the corner window. Use a drapery rod corner connector to secure the curtain rods into the window.

    • 3

      Select panels in widths that will not bunch up much. Use a 52-inch-wide panel, for example, on a 48-inch window. Hang one panel on each side of the window.

    • 4

      Attach a curtain hold-back in a matching design to the wall on the outer sides of the window. Pull back each panel to open the outside view from the room.
