This video is very timely for someone who’s about to move in to our newly built home without curtains yet. Thanks!

[bobsutube]

thanks for taking the time to create this video! I'm not sure what to get and this really helps me

[Spiritgirl]

Thank you so much for this Reynard!! I was especially happy to see the explanation for the perfect "S" fold on the sheers - something I've struggled to achieve!!! Xo from Canada ❤

[bingebuddies]

Thank you very much! I have been struggling with my kitchen window for a while now, and your guide is the most helpful I saw so far. I also followed your advices with the curtains in the bedroom and that turned out gorgeous!

[michelleeewu]

Thank you! Please do more videos like this (guides to different types of ___)

thankyou for another informative video.

[neels]

Your videos are wonderful. Love your tips and guidelines.😊

Exactly this morning I was asking my husband what should we put into the bathroom 😃 as it is a wet space…

[batsteve]

This video has been quite useful for me. We have a few parts of the house which need new window treatments, but the most awkward has to be our bay window. The frame goes right up to the ceiling, and the sills are fairly deep, not an ideal mix! 😅

[Floating_pig]

Super video! It would be great to see some ready made options in the uk.

I have loved the “top down/bottom up” shades ever since I learned about them. They’re pretty pricey though 😢😢

[Serinde_]

Great video! Lots of information to apply in our new home. By the way, what depth do ceiling mounted sheer curtains (ripple fold) normally need? Want to make sure I leave the right space between TV cabinet and the wall for them. Cannot find that information anywhere. Thanks

Hi Reynard, I love your videos and have learned so much. I have honeycomb blinds in my very tiny living room. Would you suggest adding curtains or would it make the space feel smaller?

[Deb.-.]

So interesting, decades ago I made all the curtains for our first house and what a huge job that was. Do you have a video on the best colour/colours to paint walls? I now live in a cold house that faces south but with east facing bedroom windows. The house is 60+ yrs old and so just has the wood framed sash windows. Oh I should also add I prefer all white bed linen. tia

A fan from Thailand here. Thanks for another great video! A question though: My windows are right under a huge beam. And it’s a super windy&sunny side of the apartment. Is curtain/rod the most suitable? And where should I put the rod/railing? Right under the beam (and risk making the room smaller) or high up on the beam (aka mounting closer to the ceiling but the heat from the window can get through?).

I like curtains because i have sliding windows, and in the summer, i can open them from the middle or the side of the window, which means i can get a lovely breeze, by moving them out the way of the open window. You could also do this with vertical blinds.

[thanhtran]

Hi Reynard ! Thank you for such informative video, do you have any recommended brand for ceiling mounted curtain rails? We have a 20 ft ceiling that’s needing curtain and I really want to invest in something with high quality because they will be hard to fix or replace. Thank you again !😊

Can you mix window treatments styles in same room? Ex. Sliding door and windows. (6 windows 42x60 plus a sliding door)

[viankscidudles]

Do you have any shoe rack and coat hanger suggestions?
