RIKTIG hooks pictured below. The top of the pin would slip into the hoop on a curtain ring. I just wanted to show you in case you haven’t heard of them yet (see picture in curtain styles below). I just wanted to show some before and after pictures, so you can have an idea of what our living room windows look like. TIP #3: This Walmart Great Value Brand – actually bleaches/whitens the RITVA curtains ….. AND clothes. So be careful with anything else you may accidentally splash when using it.

The first thing you will want to do is measure your window height and width, including any trim. Then you can decide how high and how wide you want to mount your curtains.Then I let them hang over my dining room chairs for another day. And they GREW…..and they were WHITER!! The reason I chose this height is so that I could use IKEA curtains (which are 98″L) AND use other ready-made brands that are 96″L with rings/clips = 96″ + 2 1/2″ = 98 1/2″L.

This 95 1/2″H – 96″H trim (yes this happens a bunch, window widths will be also be a little different) means that I needed either a 96″L curtain + 2 1/2″– 3″ rings/clips, or a curtain that was at least 98″L or longer to cover the top trim and windows. For my living room I knew that the trim is 95 1/2″H, and my curtain rod is 98 1/2″H (3 inches higher) because I was using curtains I already owned that were 98″L.Let me just say that are a ton of factors that go into hanging curtains, but I’m going to try to make this as simple and easy as possible. We had this Great Value bleach left over from all of the bleaching from the flood – and I had accidentally bleached out something with it.
