While choosing new curtains is entertaining, installation looms as a chore. Learn how to install curtain rods to make this home fix a breeze.

Wrought iron curtain rods are stylish fixtures for your windows. If they need a trim for a custom fit, don't grab just any tool. Use this one for a clean cut.

Ideally, curtains should be hung three to six inches above the window trim and just reach the floor. To hang curtains, simply screw in the brackets and mount the rod with the curtains already on it.
