NEW HOME TIPS: ALL THINGS CURTAINS | Styles | Common Mistakes & Fixes | Hanging My Own Curtains

New home, time to decorate! Curtains were something I knew I wanted but WOW are there a lot of choices and so many things to consider. I had curtains before in our previous home but there were a lot of mistakes made there that I couldn't quite put my finger on at the time, I just knew the looked... off.

Here we take a look at some of the main styles of curtains, some of the common mistakes made when hanging them (I've done so many of these in the past!) and finally, the measurements I did for my own home.

I hope you find this helpful!

The air conditioning noises are so bad in this video, I'll be sure to film differently in the future
