Some windows may or may not have a curtain or drapery, valence or other fabric that adds decoration, texture and color to the window and the room in general.
Plan
Get a tape measure and paper and pen as the first step in planning is the measure the windows and record those numbers and diagram your window.? You will want to know the inside measurement, that is the measurement on the interior of the window trim as well as the outside measurement, that is the measurement on the exterior of the window trim.? If you have existing curtain rods that you plan to reuse you will want to record their dimensions as well.
