Here it is plain and simple, eyelet curtains come in plethora of designs, color combinations, and curtain fabric. Keep it simple and use only basic colors. People usually want most rooms in their home to be inviting and warm. Therefore, going for earth tones, maybe mingle with a navy blue or black accent will work in most living room or bedroom décor.

By using eyelet curtains, you will be keeping your assembly and installation time way down for those who are challenged with discretionary time. You simply select the design of curtain rod you want, and purchase the matching curtain rings. Eyelet curtains install much like shower curtains. They have small metallic eyes sewn into the curtain fabric at the top to attach the curtain rings. You then slide the rings over the curtain rod and mount on the clips you have installed on either side of the window at the top. It is that easy and you could do a couple of windows a weekend until you finish your whole home.

All you have to do is select the right color and or design of curtain fabric, and a curtain rod that complements the style of your kitchen, and “Bobs Your Uncle”, everything is done, and you can hit the tennis court, or whatever you like to do with your free time. If you feel like the curtain doesn’t go with your interior’s décor then make sure you can exchange the curtain or get a refund before making your purchase.

Custom eyelet curtains are attainable, but you will need a little more time and patience to get this accomplished. There are companies that make snap eyelets or grommets that allow you to simply attach them to the holes that you have cut out in the fabric.

For a sixty-inch window, you will need about five to six yards of your choice of curtain fabric sixty inches wide. Sewing in some optional pleats will go along way in the flare department.
