How To Hang Curtains Over Faux Wood Blinds

Hanghing curtains AND blinds can be a mare! Don’t worry! Many homeowners struggle with how to hang curtains over faux wood blinds without drilling holes or damaging their window frames.

But don’t worry, we have the perfect solution for you. In this post, we’ll show you how to hang curtains over faux wood blinds the easy way, using a simple and affordable tool that will transform your windows in minutes.

The Easy Way to Hang Curtains Over Faux Wood Blinds

To hang curtains over faux wood blinds, you need to use a bracket that extends your curtain rod over the blinds that stick out. Then, you need to measure your window and curtains, install the bracket on your window casing, thread your curtains through your curtain rod, and insert the curtain rod into the bracket.

Sounds simple, right? It is, if you use the right kind of bracket. The problem with most curtain rod brackets is that they require drilling holes into your wall or window frame, which can damage your blinds or void your warranty.

That’s why we recommend using Kwik-Hang curtain rod brackets, which are designed to hang curtains over blinds without any drilling or damage. These brackets are made of durable steel and have a patented design that allows them to tap into your window casing with a hammer. They can hold up to 20 pounds of weight and fit any standard curtain rod.

Here’s how to use Kwik-Hang curtain rod brackets to hang curtains over faux wood blinds:

Step 1: Measure Your Window and Curtains

Before you buy your curtains and curtain rod, you need to measure your window and decide how long and wide you want your curtains to be. A general rule of thumb is to hang your curtain rod about 6 inches above your window frame and extend it about 6 inches beyond each side of the window. This will create the illusion of a larger window and let more light in.

As for the length of your curtains, you can choose between three options:

• Sill length: The curtains end at the window sill or slightly above it. This is a good option for small windows or windows that have furniture below them.
• Apron length: The curtains end about 4 inches below the window sill or halfway between the sill and the floor. This is a good option for medium-sized windows or windows that have radiators or heaters below them.
• Floor length: The curtains end at the floor or slightly above it. This is a good option for large windows or windows that have nothing below them.

Once you have measured your window and chosen your curtain length, you can buy your curtains and curtain rod accordingly.

Step 2: Install the Kwik-Hang Bracket on Your Window Casing

Now that you have your curtains and curtain rod ready, it’s time to install the Kwik-Hang bracket on your window casing. This is the easiest part of the process, as it only takes a few minutes and doesn’t require any tools other than a hammer.

To install the Kwik-Hang bracket on your window casing, follow these steps:

• Position the bracket on the top corner of your window casing, making sure it is aligned with the edge of the casing and flush with the front of the casing.
• Tap the bracket into the casing with a hammer until it is securely attached.
• Repeat on the other side of the window.

That’s it! You have successfully installed the Kwik-Hang bracket on your window casing without any drilling or damage.

Step 3: Thread Your Curtains Through Your Curtain Rod

The next step is to thread your curtains through your curtain rod. Depending on the type of curtains you have, this may involve using grommets, rings, clips, hooks, or pockets. Follow the instructions that came with your curtains to thread them through your curtain rod properly.

Step 4: Insert the Curtain Rod into the Bracket

The final step is to insert the curtain rod into the bracket. This is also very easy, as you just need to slide the end of the curtain rod into the slot on the bracket and make sure it is securely in place.

And voila! You have successfully hung curtains over faux wood blinds using Kwik-Hang curtain rod brackets. Now you can enjoy your new window treatment and admire how it enhances your home decor.
