How to Hang Cafe Curtains

Cafe curtains are commonly used in the kitchen. They are short curtains that screen the bottom part of a window, often accompanied by a matching valance. They provide privacy while still letting in some natural light. Although these curtains are commonly used in kitchens, they can be used in almost any room, including your bedroom or bathroom.

Things You'll Need

• Tape measure

Instructions

1. Measure the inside of your window recess. The pole or rod that you're using to hang your cafe curtains should be approximately as long as this measurement.

2. Measure the length of your cafe curtains and use this measurement to mark where you will hang the curtain rod. Generally, cafe curtains are half to one-third the height of your window. The bottom edge of your cafe curtains will generally rest just above your window sill.

3. Install the brackets that came with your curtain rod at the mark you found in the last step. Screws to install the bracket should have also come with your rod.

4. Slip the cafe curtains over the curtain rod and place the rod on the brackets you installed on either side of the window recess. This will hold the rod in place.
