You install the rods AFTER you select curtains. Who in heck could answer......? Nobody. You take your time with that ......and if you need temporary privacy shades? That's what you do.

Curtain panels are best as stationary panels. Not yanked closed for privacy, unless PLENTY of fullness

Photos and measurements please.

So my question is where does the bracke go and how far out past the trim? I am doing my entire house so I am looking for some general answers. I have two rooms with these triangle windows that dictate the height in the whole room. Can anyone show me a picture of bracket/rods? Thanks!

Also, with these windows will have woven blinds- question on sheers on rods. Too much? I would have to have a corner elbow piece due to back windows going right up to wall.

With a house fire drape rods are in the contractors budget as well as the price to hang. That is how our insurance handles it. It is attached to the house, so not contents. I am out of money to spend to do it at a later date and I can't hang rods to save my life. I am matching exactly what worked in the house before and actually have some of the drapery cleaned and is returning. I just have no idea of the brackets were inside or outside of the window frames. The biggest lesson is to have $20,000 budget waiting just in case you have a fire for a designer.

Where would the drapery rod bracket go in this picture?

Jan - Geez.

Blossom - I'm sorry to hear about your house fire.

In that photo the brackets would go right beside/against the finials.

How high are your bedroom ceilings? We have 8' ceilings and we have all outside mounts. In rooms with crown moulding I hand the rod right under the moulding. My living windows and master bedroom side brackets are 10" out from the trim and about 3" down from the ceiling. In another bedroom I felt 10" wide was wasting wall space in there and chose to mount them 3" out from trim and about 3" from ceiling. This still eliminated light poking out the sides and the window doesn't look squatty. With 8' ceilings I wouldn't install them any lower than probably halfway between window and ceiling. This is general though.

Here's some general guidelines I pulled from online.

article with pics from Ballard

Your question about would you add panels along with the romans, I would not. I think it will look nice with just the woven blinds.

It really does depend on what you had before that you're bringing back...What if you hang the rods and then find out that the drapes won't close?

I don't understand how anyone can guess what sort of drapes you had before---sorry. And how high is a personal preference, but once again, what if you install the rods and your drapes are too short?

Probably the safest thing to do is the same as the illustration that you posted...but that would only work on a single width window...a wider window would require more space at the sides because the drapes would be fuller...

I had my professional blind installer tell me what height to do in my family room/living room/dining room due to my odd ball triangle windows that will dictate height of all the room. I have some flexibility in bedrooms and kitchen area, but not much as bedrooms are 8 foot ceilings (or vaulting starts at that height in two of the rooms). Width is more my choice, but I do have a few windows close to walls. I can visualize where I need to place due to little options. I am just really bad at this stuff.

Brackets are all different, but frequently, the center of the bracket would be where the rod falls....If you need to mark it for the carpenter, the I would mark the center (width) of the rod and give him the rods and brackets for him to figure out the exact placement.

Personally I'm not a fan of rods floating up high in the air, but most people here are...I like them to be just above the window--high enough that if you have rings, you won'd see any light above the actual fabric...So height depends on the length of the drapes if already made, and your own preference.

Agreed that sometimes you have no choice where they go if you have no room in a corner...but you won't want that one window to be the odd one out...So it would be blinds in that room, or not much window showing for all of them. Same with a vaulted ceiling....

Curtains are difficult under the best of circumstances....I imagine you might have to adjust some of them...but maybe you'll have luck and most will be perfect....

Hanging drapery rods, by even a HANDYMAN is a few hundred dollar endeavor. Ask the contractor to credit you back in the form of a check. It will cost MORE to patch and re do/paint when they end in the wrong spot by a few inches too high, or too low. I FEEL for your frustration, and the sorrow of a fire. But you are going to end with a do over. The very bad news? My bet is the drapes return from the cleaners and the scent of smoke is still very much THERE,. My sister lived through this, the cleaners.........even coats could not be salvaged . They still reeked.

Fire is a nightmare. It just is horrible. Ask him to credit you the rod install. Please. It is dependent on the curtain, the header, the rings, the drop of that ring.. It is the why and how of pros who install drapery for a living.

The curtains, the rods, the rings, the brackets,the finials, THE CURTAINS..............all must be on site and together, for a decent install. Ask for the credit , a check to YOU. Or a written promise to return when you have all together on site.

The ps to all of this? There really is no such thing as "full replacement coverage." Is not.
