Measure the height of the curtain panels. Curtain tiebacks are generally mounted to the wall two-thirds of the way down from the top of the curtain. Multiply this measurement by 0.67. If the curtain panel is 84 inches tall, for example, the recommended height to mount the curtain tiebacks is 56 inches down from the top of the panel.
