Why should homeowners resist the urge to mount drapery hardware on the window molding?
When it comes to hanging panels, we need to go up and out. If you have room to install hardware closer to the ceiling, you should. It has much more impact and gives the room a taller, loftier feel. It also makes the windowsill look bigger, the ceiling look taller, and you’re not covering your light or your view. If you are installing hardware yourself, make sure you’re using the proper support screws that can carry the entire weight of your treatment. Consider contacting your neighborhood hardware store to see if they have someone who could help with the installation.
