How To Hang Curtains Over Vertical Blinds

Blinds are a great way to control light and add a touch of style to your home.

If you want to add some extra privacy or warmth, you can hang curtains over your blinds.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Start by measuring the width and height of your window opening.

Add 6-12 inches to the width to allow for overlap on either side.

Add 4-8 inches to the height to allow for the curtain to hang below the window.

Consider the style of your room and the function of the curtains.

If you want curtains that will block out light, choose a heavy fabric like velvet or blackout lining.

If you want curtains that will let in some light, choose a lighter fabric like voile or sheer.

Cut two pieces of fabric to the width and height that you measured.

If you are using a patterned fabric, make sure that the patterns match up.

Sew the two pieces of fabric together along the sides and bottom.

Leave the top edge open.

Insert the top of the curtains into the track on your vertical blinds.

Make sure that the curtains are hung evenly.

You can add some extra style to your curtains by adding a valance or tiebacks.

You can also experiment with different ways of hanging the curtains, such as draping them over the blinds or tying them back.

If you are not sure how to sew, you can take your fabric to a seamstress to have the curtains made for you.
You can also buy ready-made curtains that are designed to hang over vertical blinds.
Be sure to clean your curtains regularly to keep them looking their best.
