Curtains have a fantastic way of finishing off the look of any room. They not only add colour, texture, and interest to your decor, they also work hard to provide privacy, insulation and filter light. But don’t let our many curtain choices intimidate you. Considering just a few factors can help you figure out your best options.
Think about what you need your curtains to do for you. If it’s privacy you’re after but don’t need total darkness, try a lightweight fabric that will keep peering eyes out but let sunlight in. If you want them for their insulating capabilities, go for a heavier weight fabric with thermal properties. If you want your room to be darker than dark, check out our wide variety of blackout curtains.
To create a relaxed look, hang the curtain in light shades and natural textures. Airy, casual fabrics like linen, cotton and sheers will move with the breeze to impart a fuss-free attitude in any room. For a more classic or formal effect, heavier weight curtains made with velvet or jacquard prints will up the luxury factor in your interior. Layer curtain with a double rod to further enhance the opulence and increase styling opportunities.
So how do you hang them? The smallest misstep in hanging curtains can take the final look from likes to yikes! Choosing the right length for your room and hanging them properly is essential, so always take measurements before you buy any curtains. Available in a variety of lengths, we’ve got options to fit standard windows, rooms with very high ceilings and everything in between.
If you have short or average ceilings, make things look taller by hanging your curtains high. Even just half a foot will draw the eye vertically and elongate the room’s appearance.
A decorators’ rule of thumb is that curtains are their most stylish when they are long enough to puddle ever so slightly on the floor or at least graze it. In higher-traffic rooms where your floors are likely to be mess magnets, you might want to have your curtains not touch the floor at all. If your windows are small, it's perfectly acceptable to have the bottoms of your curtains hit the windowsill.
If your room doesn’t get a lot of light, buy a curtain rod that’s quite a bit wider than your window frame so that when your curtains are pushed back, they won’t get in the way of Mr. Sun and you’ll still get a polished look. This is also a great trick for window treatments that are strictly decorative.
With these pro tips and all the choices you could ever need, it’ll be simple to create your own wow in every room of the house.

What are the various drop effects for curtains?
There are 3 possible styles when it comes to curtain length:
- The floating style: Let your curtains hang a maximum of 1” above the floor.
- The kissing style: Have your curtains barely make contact with the ground.
- The puddle style: Add drama to your space by letting the curtains gently pool on the floor.
What widths do curtains come in?
Curtains come in 52”, 53” and 54” widths. Make sure to measure your window before purchasing in order to get enough curtains. When selecting sheers, get 4 times the width of the window. For panel and blackout styles, you’ll want to go with twice the total width of the window.
How far below the window should curtains hang?
Curtains should hang as low as possible in order to make the window appear taller. For best results, hang the rod as high as possible and ensure curtains are no shorter than 1” off the ground. This technique tricks the eye, making the ceiling appear higher and, as a result, the entire room look bigger.
How do I hang curtains?
Hang curtains by first measuring the space you’d like between the window and the tip of the rod, which should be between 4 and 10 inches, symmetrical on both sides. Then, drill into the wall and screw your rod hardware before putting your curtains on the rod and hanging everything on the brackets.
How fast will I get my curtains?
Montreal-area customers should get their curtains within 2 to 3 business days, while residents of other Canadian urban centers should receive theirs within 3 to 7 days. We also ship to rural areas in 7 to 14 business days. Please note that delivery times vary by location and are subject to change. Free shipping to your local store is also offered.
