Tips for Hanging New Curtains

 

When it comes to home décor, curtains are an important aspect in any room in your home. They help bring more color or texture to the space and really tie a room together. Unfortunately, there are some mistakes many people make when buying or hanging their curtains. Here are some mistakes to avoid:

Not Measuring the Windows
If you're planning on buying new curtains, don't just assume a standard-size curtain panel is going to work. Measure the width and the length of every single window to get the right size. Write the details down on paper, taking note of the window's size and its location.

Featured Testimonial
by  Jim J.

There are few people I have met in my life that hold that amazing ability to stay on task a exude intelligence in everything they do serving their clients; Melissa Nelson is one of those people. I had an occurrence one evening where I requested some comps from Melissa on a property I was looking at, the multi-page report came back within minutes and a friend was in the room when I received the email. He said "you need to give us her information so we can use her when we get close to buying our next place, she is unbelievable!" Melissa has what I call an "old soul" she has wisdom beyond her physical age that is an awesome attribute! She stays on task, checks back in, is available when you call her. She gets the fact that our society today is one of immediate gratification and she lives up to it. Buying a home can be a very emotional experience there are many highs and lows along the way, anticipation, let downs at the last minute, and regrouping to try again. Melissa always keeps a very calm and professional demeanor and that helped to keep me calm and on task. This business is very fortunate to have her it makes your office shine! Nice work Melissa!!
