Hanging Curtains Over Wooden Blinds

RE: Hanging Curtains Over Wooden Blinds By louel53 (624) Contact I agree with kaigt, use a small wooden block. That would be far the most economical and easy solution, especially if you are not especially handy. I have seen this done.

I think it makes the rod about an inch and a half deeper. The extenders are pieces of metal or plastic, that fit on the end of the curtain rod. They work great. They might be made by Kirsch. I think they cost about $3-5$.

It fits on the basic hardware that holds a standard rod up. It should work for you. I'm not sure who would sell them in your area, but you could look them up and order them online. Just google "curtain valance rods." They aren't too expensive either. Or I've seen people make their own out of PVC (or copper) pipe, using an elbow for the turn. The PVC probably wouldn't work too well if the curtain is heavy or the the window large (it might bow under the weight), without some kind of support. Happy decorating!

Insert the cut ends into your rod, and hang as usual.

I usually use ones the size of the Ginga Puzzle. In fact I bought one at a thrift store. All I do is screw the block into the wall and then the fixture into the block. Sometimes I need to paint the blocks if you can see them. I'll paint them the color of the wall. Good Luck kali Posted on 03/13/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
