Measure the width of your window treatments, taking into account if you want to mount the hardware on the wall or on the window trim. Allow 1 1/2 inches to 3 inches on each side of the window for the curtains are completely open.Be sure to consider wall space for finials. To make the window appear larger, mount the curtain 4 inches above the window trim, and allow the curtain rod width to extend 3 inches on either side of the actual window width. The length should be measured to the point you want the bottom to stop, at the sill, 4 inches below the sill, or to the floor. You can also have your draperies "puddle" on the floor.
To determine what bracket you need, measure how far off the wall your curtain rods needs to be to clear window frames and sills. This will be the "projection" your brackets need in order to clear the objects. Most curtain and traverse rods have bracket extenders available if needed.
The amount of fabric you will need for your curtain or drapery will depend on the fullness you want. For a tailored look, the width of the window. For the standard look, you will need 1.5 times the width of the window. For a full look, plan on 3 times the width of the window.
Layered treatments: When you want to use two or more different fabrics to cover your window. These will require a double or triple curtain rod or traverse rod, or a combination of the two.The glass side fabric should be on half inch shorter the the over treatment (room side fabric).

Are all carpets the same? Well they most certainly are not! Whilst they might all cover your floor, they come in a wide variety of carpets for different uses, and accordingly they are made in different ways and with different materials. The materials they are made from vary from purely man-made materials, through to pure wool, wool blend mixes and even textured natural fibre carpets which feel relaxing in a slightly odd sort of way, yet have become popular for use in bedrooms.

Wall Metal Art: Finished Versus Unfinished
Sometimes I may find a piece of art that I can create from scratch into a beautiful portrait to hang on my wall. It takes a lot of work, time, and money. There are other times I am in a hurry I want to find that "perfect" wall metal art that is already put together so all I have to do is hang it somewhere in my house. Which is cheaper to purchase? Some people may say that one is cheaper than the other or vice versa.
