In this post, I’ll show you how to put curtains in a corner window in different ways. Whether you want to use a curtain rod, a tension rod, or some adhesive hooks and string, I’ve got you covered. All you need are some curtains, some tools, and some sass. Ready? Let’s do this!
To put curtains in a corner window, you need to hang two single rods at the same height on each window. Then, connect the rods in the corner using an elbow connector, a corner connector, or a plastic elbow.
Alternatively, you can use a tension rod that fits between two walls or adhesive hooks and string that stick to the ceiling. Then, choose a good fabric that suits your needs and style. Finally, secure the curtains to your window with some accessories, such as clips or ties.
Use a Curtain Rod
The most common way to put curtains in a corner window is to use a curtain rod. A curtain rod is a type of rod that can be attached to the wall using brackets and screws. You will need some tools and skills to install it, but it will give you more stability and durability than other methods.
To use a curtain rod, follow these steps:
- Measure the width of each window to determine the right curtain rod. You will need to purchase two curtain rods that are long enough to cover each window with some extra inches on both sides.
- Choose curtains that match or complement your window and decor. You can use any kind of fabric, color, pattern, or texture that suits your taste and theme. However, some general tips are:
- Choose a light and airy fabric for a more breezy and spacious feel.
- Choose a dark and heavy fabric for a more cozy and private feel.
- Choose a solid color or simple pattern for a more elegant and minimalist feel.
- Choose a bright color or bold pattern for a more fun and lively feel.
- Slide your curtains onto the curtain rods through the rod pocket or grommet. If your curtain doesn’t have a rod pocket or grommet, you can sew one yourself or use curtain clips to attach it to the rod.
- Hang one curtain rod on each window using the provided hardware. To avoid splitting, drill pilot holes before running screws. Make sure the rods are at the same height and level with each other.
- Connect the rods in the corner using one of these options:
- An elbow connector: This is a piece that fits inside the ends of the rods and allows them to form an L shape in the corner. You can find elbow connectors in home improvement stores or online.
- A corner connector: This is a piece that fits over the ends of the rods and allows them to form an L shape in the corner. You can find corner connectors in home improvement stores or online.
- A plastic elbow: This is a piece that you can find in the plumbing section of hardware stores. It has two openings that fit inside the ends of the rods and allows them to form an L shape in the corner.
- Adjust the curtains as needed to create a canopy effect around your window.
Use a Tension Rod
Another way to put curtains in a corner window is to use a tension rod. A tension rod is a type of rod that can be adjusted to fit inside the window frame or between two walls using pressure. You don’t need any screws or nails to install it, and you can easily remove it when you want to change your curtains.
To use a tension rod, follow these steps:
- Measure the width of each window to determine the right tension rod. You will need to purchase two tension rods that are slightly longer than each window width.
- Choose curtains that match or complement your window and decor. You can use any kind of fabric, color, pattern, or texture that suits your taste and theme. However, some general tips are:
- Choose a light and airy fabric for a more breezy and spacious feel.
- Choose a dark and heavy fabric for a more cozy and private feel.
- Choose a solid color or simple pattern for a more elegant and minimalist feel.
- Choose a bright color or bold pattern for a more fun and lively feel.
- Slide your curtains onto the tension rods through the rod pocket or grommet. If your curtain doesn’t have a rod pocket or grommet, you can sew one yourself or use curtain clips to attach it to the rod.
- Adjust the length of the tension rods by twisting them until they fit snugly inside the window frames or between the two walls. Make sure they are level and secure.
- Hang the tension rods with the curtains on each window. Adjust the curtains as needed to create a canopy effect around your window.
Use Adhesive Hooks and String
A third way to put curtains in a corner window is to use adhesive hooks and string. Adhesive hooks are hooks that can stick to the wall or ceiling using adhesive strips. String is a thin cord that can be used to hang curtains from the hooks. You don’t need any tools or skills to install them, and you can easily remove them without damaging your wall or ceiling.
To use adhesive hooks and string, follow these steps:
- Measure the height of each window to determine the right length of string. You will need to purchase string that is long enough to hang your curtains from the hooks.
- Choose curtains that match or complement your window and decor. You can use any kind of fabric, color, pattern, or texture that suits your taste and theme. However, some general tips are:
- Choose a light and airy fabric for a more breezy and spacious feel.
- Choose a dark and heavy fabric for a more cozy and private feel.
- Choose a solid color or simple pattern for a more elegant and minimalist feel.
- Choose a bright color or bold pattern for a more fun and lively feel.
- Thread string through the rod pocket or grommet of your curtain. If your curtain doesn’t have a rod pocket or grommet, you can sew one yourself or use curtain clips to attach the string to your curtain. You’ll need two strings for each curtain, one for each end.
- Use a pencil to mark your wall or ceiling above each corner of your window, then press adhesive strips over each pencil mark.
- Press your hooks onto the adhesive strips with the point of the hook facing away from the window. Wait 1 hour to hang anything from them.
- Tie the string from one curtain to one hook. Then, tie the other end of the same string to another hook on the opposite side of the window. Do the same for the other curtain and strings.
- Adjust the curtains as needed to create a canopy effect around your window.
