TWOPAGES Draperies Sure Look Nice in a Room

In today’s post, I am sharing what all houses old or new with windows needs – window treatments and what Mandy and Matt chose to fit their decorating vision to make the house into a home they will love for years to come.

Knowing that they would need window treatments, I partnered with TWOPAGES Curtains for this post and had Mandy and Matt choose the window treatments for their living room that they liked from the many styles and fabrics that TWOPAGES sells on their website and also on their AMAZON Shop.

As a mom, of course I wanted to help, plus I know quite a bit about decorating and window treatments so I offered them a few tips to consider as they went about choosing what would look nice on the windows, but also function for their needs which was to block glare when watching TV.

The living room in the house has two single windows with great looking high gloss molding around them.

They didn’t want to cover too much of the window that would block the light coming into the room and they also didn’t want to cover the decorative rosette molding at the upper corners of each window that add character to the room.

Window Treatment TIPS I Gave to Mandy & Matt

One: Small, ordinary windows will look larger and can become impressive focal points when you hang drapes high and away from the window glass.

Two: Properly hung drapes (rod closer to ceiling than close to window molding) can trick the eye into thinking windows are larger and ceilings are taller than they actually are.

Three: More light streams into a room when the curtains/drapes are pushed back away from the window glass.

Four: Blackout drapes will take care of the glare issue when watching TV.

Both Mandy and Matt work full-time and didn’t want to fuss with trying to precisely measure for custom-made drapes that TWOPAGES makes.

Their house has 9-foot ceilings so they needed the 52″wide x 96″ length so the drapes would go to the floor.

Instead they chose and ordered the Ready Made Liz Linen Drapery Pinch Pleat with Blackout Lining:  Size 52W x 96L.  Color:  Ivory White 1908-2.

Once the drapes arrived, they took more of my advice and hung the pleated drapes with the “easy to attach and adjust hooks” on the rods first to be better able to see exactly where the rod mounting brackets needed to go on the wall above the windows.

Once they measured and marked the height and spot where the rod brackets needed to go, Matt drilled the holes and attached the rods.

Adding the Adjustable Hooks That Come With the Drapes

The drapery hooks that come with all TWOPAGES pleated drapes are very well-made and designed, plus adjustable. You simply slide them into the back of every pleat.

Then simply place the hook into the hole on the rod rings.

You can attach the hooks to each ring on a curtain rod before or after hanging the curtains or to the clips on a traverse-style curtain rod.

TWOPAGES Has Easy to Follow Measuring Guides

With so many great window treatment options for you to explore on the TWOPAGES site when choosing the right window treatments for your home, the process can feel overwhelming, but don’t let this stop you.

On the TWOPAGES site you will be guided step-by-step on how to measure and choose just the right window treatments for your windows. They also have a swatch service where you can order a swatch of the fabric so you can see the color, texture and feel the weight of the fabric that will help you make the right decision.

Mandy & Matt Love The Ready Made Drapes for TWOPAGES

The Ready Made Liz Linen Drapery Pinch Pleat with Blackout Lining that Mandy and Matt chose are well-made, have a great feel and have a nice weight to them.

They stack back evenly and look custom-made.

The pleats look perfect when the drapes are open…

…as well as when they are closed.

One More Drapery Hanging TIP

I shared one more drapery hanging tip with Mandy and Matt that many homeowners with drapes overlook and that is:

• Once the rod is mounted and you attach the drapes, add one curtain ring to the outside of the rod mount with the remaining rings on inside to prevent your curtain from being pulled all the way to the middle of window. Doing this also helps hide the rod bracket, especially when viewing the drapes from the side. See this Window Treatment TIPS post for more about this.
