Hanging curtains
Every curtain has a certain hanging need. If you are going for a formal look, or an informal one, the length of the curtains matter. You must use easy weight fabric, the height above the windows, and whatnot. If you hang your curtains high above the window, that will make your windows look larger than they actually are.
