Curtain panels that (at least) reach the floor.A curtain rod, already hung at your desired height.Here is what you need in order to hang curtains on rings! But with curtain hooks, you can determine how many pleats you want, which therefor dictates how wide your curtains sit! Below is a side-by-side of the exact same panels hung on grommets (left) and curtain rings (right).īut there’s more! When I hung the curtains on rings, I didn’t even have to hem them (in the traditional sense), but yet still ended up with panels at the perfect length! Ready to see how? I’ve gotten into the habit of doubling up my grommet-topped panels on each side of the window to give a fuller look (since a standard panel only produces four pleats). I might go as far as to say “my eyes have been opened” to the brilliance of curtain rings because I was really pleasantly surprised not just by how easy the hanging process was, but also how I was able to make a perfectly-hemmed, fuller curtain display in no time at all! So I opted to hang curtains on rings instead. Once perfectly hemmed ( see my foolproof hemming method), they pleat pretty much on their own and are easy to make uniform.īut when I recently installed a curtain rod with Command Hooks in our master bedroom, the rod ended up really close to the wall and my grommet panels didn’t work. So for the first time in a really long time, I had to find a different way to hang my curtains…which lead me to curtain rings! After experimenting quite a bit, I landed on a super easy way to hang curtains on rings that not only looks great but also results in a perfect hem…all at once and without sewing! Let me show you my super easy tricks!įor years, I have relied on the ease and clean lines of grommet-topped curtain panels.
However, I recently experimented with using Command Hooks to hang a curtain rod and this setup didn’t allow my standard grommet-topped panels to hang right. This makes it easy to add matching panels over time if needed, and also provides some consistency throughout our entire house. Ages ago, I committed to the same basic grommet-topped curtain panels for our entire home.
