Home Decorating Windows Design Dilemma

Double Curtain Rod

3 years ago

hello all! I just bought a double curtain rod for my bedroom and some grommet blackout curtains but wasn't sure what sheer curtain to buy for daytime. Should the top styles of the curtains match? Do they both need to be grommeted or can the blackout have grommets and sheer be another style. Also, it's a sliding glass door so I can't really have a shade. Thank you.

If you purchased a grommet top drapery then the sheers should be the same, or you could have rod pocket sheers

I have shades on my slider. 1 on each door hung on the wood work. If doing sheers I would do rod pockets.

If you'll be opening and closing the door several times a day, go with grommets to make the sheers easy to swish out of the way. If you don't intend to open the door, use either rod pockets or grommets.
