How To Hang Double Curtain Rods

Determine the Placement. Decide where you want to hang the curtain rods. They should be high enough so that the curtains will hang evenly from the floor, and they should be wide enough to cover the window completely. Measure the width of the window and add 6-12 inches to each side for overlap.

Mark the Wall. Use a level to mark the height of the curtain rods on the wall. Then, measure the distance between the two marks and divide it by two. This will be the center point of the curtain rods. Mark this point on the wall.

Install the Brackets. Hold a curtain rod bracket against the wall at the center point. Mark the screw holes with a pencil. Drill pilot holes at the screw holes, then insert the screws into the holes and tighten them until the bracket is secure. Repeat this process for the other curtain rod bracket.

Install the Curtain Rods. Place the curtain rods on the brackets. The rods should be parallel to each other and level. Adjust the brackets as needed until the rods are in the correct position.

Hang the Curtains. Hang the curtains on the curtain rods. The curtains should hang evenly from the floor and they should be wide enough to cover the window completely.

Additional Tips. If you are hanging heavy curtains, you may need to use additional brackets to support the weight. You can also use decorative finials to add a touch of style to your curtain rods.
