How to Hang Back Tab Curtains?

Hanging back tab curtains involves sliding the curtain rod through the fabric loops (tabs) sewn onto the back of the curtain panel.

While the provided reference is just a short video excerpt, the general process is straightforward. Here's a more detailed explanation:

Steps to Hang Back Tab Curtains

Choose the Right Curtain Rod: Back tab curtains require a curtain rod that can fit through the tabs. Ensure the rod's diameter is appropriate. Decorative rods are commonly used.
Prepare the Curtains: Before hanging, ensure your curtain panels are the correct length. Some may need hemming. As the referenced video snippet mentioned, you might want to ensure the lining and drapery fabric are properly aligned, especially at the hem.
Slide the Tabs onto the Rod: Thread the curtain rod through the back tabs. The number of tabs affects the fullness of the drapes.
Mount the Curtain Rod: Install the curtain rod brackets at the desired height and width, ensuring they are level.
Place the Rod onto the Brackets: Carefully lift the curtain rod with the attached curtains and set it onto the brackets.
Arrange the Folds: Adjust the curtain panels to create even and pleasing folds. You can gently tug on the fabric between each tab to create uniform drapes.

Consider the Tab Spacing: The spacing between the tabs will influence the fullness of the curtains. Closer tabs create deeper folds.
Use Rings (Optional): While back tab curtains are designed to hang directly on the rod, you can use rings with clips if you prefer a different look or need to adjust the height slightly. This is not the typical method for back tab curtains though.
Iron or Steam Before Hanging: Remove any wrinkles from the curtains before hanging them for a polished look.

By following these steps, you can easily hang back tab curtains and enjoy their clean, contemporary style.
