How To Choose The Right Draperies And Drapery Hardware NJ For Your Window Treatments

By Amy Stewart


If you are trying to change the look of one of the rooms in your home, one of the easiest ways to accomplish this is to change the window coverings that you are using. The right drapery choice can transform a room as well as providing more practical benefits. If you are changing the coverings on your windows you may also need to change the drapery hardware NJ that is being used as well. Here are some things to consider.

If you have only ever used one kind of window covering in your home you may be shocked at the range of hardware choices that are available to you. Taking your time to learn about the different options and what kind of panels they are used for will help you make an informed choice when it is time to make your decision.

One thing to consider is lighting. If you are replacing the window coverings on rooms where people will be sleeping, you will want to make sure that you choose drapes or curtains that will help keep out sunlight. You will also want to make sure that the hardware you use will help keep the drapes fitting close to the windows so that light cannot come in around the edges.

If you live in an area where there are cold winters you may want to find a way to block drafts and heat loss. Panels made out of heavy, lined fabric can often do this quite easily. Of course, you will need to make sure that they hang in such a way that the entire window is covered and ensure that the fabric is hanging as close to the window as the sill will allow.

You should think about how heavy the draperies are that you will be hanging. If you want a light, delicate look you may want to choose hardware that is not overly thick or industrial. You could either go with hidden hooks that move along a track or with a thin rod and small rings that will slide back and forth easily.

Prefabricated panels usually have a specific hanging system incorporated into the design. There may be several options to choose from but in the end, the only way to have complete freedom you will need to use custom-made drapes. Keep in mind that not every fabric will be able to accommodate every hanging method or type of hardware available.

Installing the hardware can take a bit of planning in order to do correctly. If you are not sure where to place the curtain rod you should first figure out where you want the bottom of the curtains to be. Then, you should find the length of the curtain panels and determine how far up on the wall they will reach. You then know where the curtain rod needs to be placed.

While you may think that you are limited to the curtain options that you find in stores you are not. You can always order custom drapes in different patterns and with linings that will block out any cold or light in your room. You may need to work with an interior decorator or a store that specializes in creating custom home accessories. They may have specific recommendations as to the kind of hardware you should be using as well.
