Sliding glass doors make a wonderful entry to a patio or any other room in your home. They provide a beautiful, unobstructed view of the outdoors and can let in a great deal of sunshine. Sometimes, though, too much glare and heat from direct sunlight can fade or even ruin your furniture, rugs, and even hardwood flooring. To prevent this, you may want to have some kind of window covering during certain times of the day or whenever you need some privacy.
Just like regular windows, you can decorate with curtains over your sliding glass doors. This allows you to control when and how much light enters your home, as well as your level of privacy. Plus, you can change curtains whenever you want, breathing new life into your home and décor. It’s fun to embrace practical decorating by picking hardware and curtains that match your evolving style!
To make your home feel brand new, follow these seven steps for installing curtains over sliding glass doors:.
- Find the center of the sliding glass door and make a mark 4 inches above the door.
- Mark the sides of the sliding glass door, 2 inches away from each side and 4 inches up, aligning with the first mark you made.
- Position the left, right, and center brackets on the marks you made and make additional marks in the screw holes.
- Drill the screw holes you marked and tap in drywall anchors carefully with a hammer.
- Screw the side brackets into the drywall anchors.
- Install the center bracket without tightening the screws. Position your long curtain rod in the brackets, and once level, tighten the screws in the center bracket.
- Put your curtains on the curtain rod and then set the rod onto the brackets.
