Step by Step Guide
- Mounting Style
Choose according to your best available space, whether:
Tension rod (no-drill): Excellent for tight walls or alcoves
Ceiling track: Most suited for open layouts or studio spaces
Wall-mounted curtain rod: Most available for dividers within rooms’ corners or visual zones
- Measuring Space
Measure width where divider is going to be
Measure height from floor to ceiling (or where rod will mount)
Add a few inches for pooling or dramatic flair
Add about 1.5x to 2x the width for a gathered, full look
- Choose and Prepare Curtains
Buy curtains or sew your own using fabric and hemming tape
Iron or steam to release wrinkles
Use curtain clips/rings for easy open/close movement.
Need blackout? Choose lined or double-layer curtains.
- Mount Rod or Track
Level to mark mount points
Drill ceiling anchors for safety if needed
Install your rod or slide in the track
Slide on your curtain and test the motion.
- Now Style the Space
Define the “new room” with a rug or plant in front
Enhance the vibe with lights or wall art
Tie back the curtain for open mode when needed.
🧡 Here is why you are going to adore it:
✅ No construction required — ideal for apartments
✅ Changeable-the curtain for the seasons or moods
Space defining-makes even the smallest areas seem purposeful
Budget-friendly-cheaper than permanent partitions
