Before diving into the subject, it is essential to understand what a sheer curtain is. A sheer curtain is a light, translucent fabric that covers your windows. It allows you to filter the daylight while preserving a certain amount of privacy. When paired with thicker curtains on the same rod, you get a flexible combination that allows you to manage light and privacy according to your needs.
To complete this project, you will need:
The key element for putting sheer curtains and curtains on the same rod is the choice of the rod itself. You will need a double track rod, which has two parallel rails for hanging two pairs of curtains.
Install the double track rod above your window. Make sure it is secure and capable of supporting the weight of your curtains and sheers.
Prepare your curtains and sheers by attaching the curtain hooks or rings. Make sure the hooks are secure to prevent your curtains or sheers from falling.
First hang the sheer curtain on the rail closest to the window, then the curtains on the rail furthest away. This will create an aesthetic and functional overlay.
