THEY AINT CALLED CURTAINS!
These should be your two most important takeaways:
1. Why Not High Waters?
Listen, unless your windows are training for a flood, there’s no excuse for high-water drapes. If your panels are swinging a few inches above the floor like they’re waiting on capris to come back in style—it’s because someone didn’t measure right (and yes, it shows).
Now, on the flip side—if your drapes are puddling like Scarlett O’Hara lives here, let’s rein it in. Unless you’ve got Versailles ceilings and a housekeeper who fluffs fabric for fun, that extra fabric pile just looks... accidental. Drapery should kiss the floor, not slobber all over it.
2. Why No Rod Pockets?
Because we left those in the “starter apartment” phase of life, honey. Rod pocket panels scream, “These came in a bag at Target and I didn’t even iron them.” And you know what? Most people don’t. PLEASE iron them.
Now, I get it—custom drapes aren’t always in the cards. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for the limp, see-through, telescoping-rod special.
Here’s your glow-up: grab lined panels, throw them on rings, and use a solid rod. Even cheap drapery can look expensive if it’s dressed right. Kind of like a $30 outfit with killer shoes and a blowout—same energy.
