Redoing my living room curtains and realized the fabric alone wasn't what was making past attempts look kind of cheap, it was actually the fullness and header style I'd been ignoring. Went with proper fullness this time, roughly double the rod width instead of barely any extra fabric, and paired it with a pinch pleat header since my room leans slightly traditional. The difference is honestly bigger than I expected for details I used to think didn't matter much. Also matched the rod finish to my furniture hardware instead of just grabbing whatever was cheapest, which tied the whole thing together better. Compared options at a curtain store near me and went with Kingdom of Curtains since they walked me through fullness and header choices instead of just selling fabric. Anyone else underestimate how much these smaller details actually mattered?
