How To Hang A Rod Pocket Kitchen Curtain

Rod pocket curtains have a channel sewn into the top of the fabric. A curtain rod is passed through the channel to hang. Rod Pocket Panels/Tailored Panels usually comes in 2 sized pockets, a standard pocket which usually varies between 1 1/4" & 1 3/4", this type of pocket usually works with curtain rods less than 3/4" in diameter.

The second type of pocket is called the wide pocket, this pocket is 3"W & usually works with a 2 1/2" wide pocket curtain rod or a decorative rod up to 1 1/4" in diameter. For added decor many customers are now installing them with decorative curtain rods & clip rings.

Most customers use a standard curtain rod for the swag/valance and a sash or cafe rod for the tier pairs.

How to Determine Your Kitchen Curtain Length

When determining what length tier you need, consider the total length of your window. For example, say your window length is 60"L, the insert valance will be mounted about 1 inch over the window, so if you deduct 1 1/2" for your pocket & 1 1/2" for your header (These are approximations). There will be a 9" drop, so if you choose a 36" long tier pair, you will have approximately 15" of open space on your window.
