Installing curtain rods is an essential part of interior design, not only to ensure privacy but also to give a room a special style. In this guide, we'll explain step by step how to install curtain rods correctly to make your curtains look great. Whether you're in Riga, Ventspils or anywhere else in Latvia, these tips are useful for everyone.

The first step is to choose the right curtain rod. In Riga and Ventspils, there is a wide choice of curtain rods, from simple and functional to luxurious and decorative. When choosing a curtain rod, consider not only the design of the room, but also the weight of the curtain.

In the second step, you will need to decide at which height you want to install the curtain rod. Usually, the curtain rod is installed 10-15 cm above the top edge of the window to create a stretched and elegant feel throughout the room. If the window has a window sill, make sure that the curtain rod is not too close to it.

The third step is to fix the bar. To do this, you will need a tape measure, a spirit level, a drill and screws to match the fixings of the bar you have chosen. Use the tape measure to accurately measure and mark the locations where the holes will be drilled for the bar fixings. Make sure that the stanchion is level by using a spirit level.

Once the drill holes are prepared, fix the wall brackets to the wall with screws. Depending on the wall material, wall irons may be necessary, especially if you are installing the string on aerated concrete or other soft surfaces.

In the fourth step, attach the curtain rod to the fasteners. If the curtain rod is longer than your window, make sure that the end fasteners are correctly installed and that the rod is firmly secured. Don't forget about decorative elements such as ends or finials, which can give your curtain rod an extra touch of glamour.

The fifth step is to attach the curtains. If your curtains use rings, simply insert the rings through the string and hang the curtains. If you are using skates, you will need to make sure that the skates are fitted correctly and work smoothly. You can buy a variety of curtains in the Riga and Ventspils shops that will go perfectly with your newly made sling.

The last step is to check that the curtains hang correctly and can be opened and closed easily. Make sure that the rod is stable enough to bear the weight of the curtain and that the colour match between the rod and the curtains is aesthetically pleasing.
