Thank you so much for such a well detailed video and thanks so much for the organized links in the description of your favorites!! I’ve been looking for a thorough but not overly complicated video on curtains and yours is just the right balance so I’ll definitely be referencing everything when I decide to change my curtains!! ❤

Home decoration can be so fun and stressful at the same time. Good thing that we have you here to give us more insights on how we can do it properly. Thank you! 🫰🥰

This is the BEST covering draperies, comprehensive, and not overly verbose. Probably why Reynard is my favorite. Can I add one little thing? OK. When you hang drapes far above the top of the window it looks the best. BUT. Your drapes are usually open, so there is that blank block that bothers me above the window. I have added a flat shiny thing in those voids, like a round mirror, OR some kind of chrome shiny thing there. FLAT so as not to impede the drape. For me, an 18" round or oval mirror pulls the eye up, and makes sense out of that void. Bonus last thing, who is to say you cannot mount a decorative rod to the ceiling? You just have to see how it looks.

Just as I am thinking about putting curtains in my living room, BOOM you post a video about curtain mistakes! THANK YOU! This comes in clutch haha. & great video as always!

[Basiliold]

Perfect timing as I am right in the midst of styling my home. Great insights clearly described. And, I love your designs. Thank You

[grazynapietruszka]

Hello Reynard! Top quality content as always. I was wondering, would you consider making a video about mixing living spaces with clear functional division? For instance living room + office or dining area + entryway.

You don't mention curtains for windows under which a radiator sits. Full length curtains can't be drawn properly to keep the room warm unless they cover the radiator. Full polyester fabrics attract dirt so are a no no in a city.

Thank you for a clear and comprehensive explanation presented calmly. Very easy to listen to and follow and lots of helpful tips thank you Reynard

[raginisharma]

Such a detailed video - comes exactly at a time when I am looking to have curtains in my studio apartment. Thank you ❤

[SplatterInker]

Thanks Man! I was tearing my hair out over curtains the other day and this has been really helpful!

[RememberTheTrees]

Great video, thank you. Nice to hear someone mention that shorter curtains have their place.

[KdubVlogs]

This video came right on time, I plan on hanging my curtains today. Thanks for the guidelines 👍🏾

[Housefrequence]

Thank you for this fantastic video. I love seeing people who know their craft well.

[ms.laisclassroom]

Thank you for making all these videos!! I always learn something very practical and beautiful from you! ❤

[CleverCreatives]

Oh wow. Talk about timing. I was just researching this.

[ErnestoRoy]

Thank you, Reynard! Great content, straight-forward, and immensely informative!

[kurchak]

Wow thank you! Man, I don't know much about design but am redoing my bedroom and your videos have saved me from making so many mistakes. Just seeing the "don't do this" pictures alone is enough for me to say "yup, I totally would have done that" 😅.

Got some great looking curtains at IKEA today but I need to return them. They are too short 😔. They have only 2 inches from the ceiling but like 6 inches from the floor. They look terrible.

Also, I have that same stud finder! Pricey, but by far the best stud finder I've ever used.

The toilet roll hack is genius !Thanks for sharing

[hollywoodharriet]

Load of great, detailed information and with examples shown! Thanks so much!

This video was super helpful since I will be hanging new curtains in my new place soon. I will be referencing this video again when I'm installing the curtains.
