    • <p>Believe it or not, where you place your curtain rod is one of the most important steps of the entire process. Hang your curtain rod too low, and it’ll make your room look smaller. But place the rod too high and it’ll make your curtain look like a classic rookie’s mistake.</p>
<p>As a general rule of thumb, the ends of your curtain rod should be three to six inches outside of the frame to turn your curtains into a design moment. If you want to create the illusion of higher ceilings, you’ll also want to place the rod four to six inches above the window frame.</p>
<p>As expected, you’ll need a tape measurer to find (and record) the dimensions. Komelon’s option is made of a sturdy, acrylic-coated steel blade tape that won’t slump mid-measure. Once you’ve found the correct measurements, mark them with a pencil (which is probably already lurking in your junk drawer).</p>
<p><strong>To buy:</strong> Komelon Steel Blade Tape Measure, $7; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Komelon-SM5416-Gripper-Acrylic-Measure/dp/B008AGWNL0?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B008AGWNL0&tag=reasim03-20&ascsubtag=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" target="_blank">amazon.com.</a></p>
    • <p>Before you start drilling anything, it’s important to make sure your measurements are level. No matter how much precision you used to take your measurements, human error is bound to happen. Qooltek’s popular level features a laser line, making it easy to see if your curtains will be straight.</p>
<p><strong>To buy:</strong> Qooltek Multipurpose Laser Level, $14; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Qooltek-Multipurpose-measure-Adjusted-Standard/dp/B00PQ4PJYC?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00PQ4PJYC&tag=reasim03-20&ascsubtag=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" target="_blank">amazon.com.</a></p>
