Using One Curtain Panel Per Window

So no i don t recommend it.

Using one curtain panel per window.

One curtain panel on a window would look funny to me unless you could tie it back on one side but it would need to balance out with the other windows. Can be a roman shade style or hanging straight down from the bar and pair them up with two windows to draw the eye to the center of the wall. For covering windows however single panel drapes have a variety of uses. Most of the time curtains come in pairs.

If you haven t chosen one measure the width of the window and add 1 to 3 inches for each side of the window. A single panel may also be more cost effective for. Usually curtains are hung in pairs but an asymmetrical look can be very attractive and so you may want to hang only a single curtain panel. The rule of double the width for the fabric needed is important as is the use of the two curtains.

Several single panels can be combined to curtain an extra wide window. Usually the drapery panels should equal two and a half times the window width. Yes one drapery panel per window would look out of place. Another option for a room with two windows is to pull both panels to one side and hold in place with a tie back.

For example the left curtain panel should be drawn to the left and the right curtain panel should be drawn to the right. The second window should be a mirror image of the first. If you are splitting up a pair and only using one on a window i think it will look even skimpier. Measure the width of the curtain rod if you have chosen it.

One panel per window will look very skimpy and certainly. Long panels should look as if they are full enough to pull across the entire window. Yes i think a room s look can be ruined by the use of skimpy curtains. For smaller windows where a double curtain will just be too much a single curtain panel is a much more elegant choice.
