DRAPES & WINDOW HARDWARE COLLECTION SUMMER 2013 HOW TO HANG YOUR DRAPES HOW TO HANG YOUR DRAPES Pottery Barn drapery lengths are measured from the top of the drape to the bottom of the hem. Drapes with decorative tops, such as rings or tie tops, are measured from the top of the panel, not including the decorative element. Consider the length of the top treatment when determining the length needed. MEASURING FOR DRAPES • Measure the length of your window, deciding whether you want the drape to fall above the sill, below the sill or to the floor. If you’d like to create a more dramatic look by pooling the drapes, add 6-8" to the height measurement. • To determine how many panels you need to achieve the desired fullness, take the window’s width measurement and multiply it by 1 (tailored), 1.5 (standard) or 3 (full). For example, if you like a gathered look and the window is 70" wide, you’ll need 210". MEASURING FOR RODS • Measure the width of your window treatments, taking into account whether you’d like a wall mount or a trim mount. • Be sure to consider the extra wall space needed for decorative finials, as the rod dimensions do not include the length of the finial. • For low light-filtration, mount the curtain rod 6" above the trim and allow the rod width to extend 3" beyond the window’s actual width. • For further instruction on measuring and hanging drapes please refer to our video online; http://www.potterybarn.com/design-studio/videos/videos/h2_v1_rel.html.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR DRAPE When cared for properly, your Pottery Barn window treatments will be a lasting investment. • Dry cleaning is recommended for most of our drapery fabrics. In between cleanings, you can use a soft-bristle brush to dust. • Always refer to the specific care instructions included with each drape. • To store and protect from dust, hang drapery in a breathable covering away from light and moisture. • When installing your drapes, please reference specific care instructions as steaming is not always recommended for every material. • Our easy-care rods, finials and holdbacks can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.

Think about how the room is used and how sunlight filters in throughout the day. If you’d like to block light, protect artwork and furnishings from sun damage, or conserve heat, heavier fabrics work well. To brighten your room, choose a lighter weight fabric.

POLE POCKET Our most traditional option, a pole pocket drape has a fabric casing along the top that can be slipped over a rod without hooks or rings. RING TOP More casual than pole pocket, rings are attached with clips to the top of the drape and slide on to the rod. Perfect for a breezy look, tie top drapes have fabric ties that can be tied directly to a rod or rings. TAB TOP Relaxed and understated, tab top drapes have flat loops that are spaced along the top of the drape. The rod slips through the tabs. GROMMET TOP For a more contemporary look, the rod slips through the round metal grommets. front back BACK LOOP Loops sewn into the back of the drape create a sleek, pleated look on the front. CHOOSE YOUR TOP TREATMENT TIE TOP CHOOSE YOUR WINDOW HARDWARE CHOOSE YOUR WINDOW HARDWARE Rods, finials and holdbacks are the foundation of your windows. A low-mount covers more of the window, giving the drape a fuller look; a high-mount allows added light and appears more tailored. Each Pottery Barn hardware collection offers a coordinating holdback. Drapery rings are easy to use and help panels slide smoothly along a rod. PB STANDARD & CAST IRON These are a versatile option for a wide range of drapery styles. An artisanal style, these collections offer a more elevated look. PB ESSENTIAL This basic collection offers added insulation and privacy by allowing the drape to meet flush with the wall. BENCHWRIGHT This hardware can lend a classic look to your window and pairs well with heavier drapes. CHOOSE YOUR WINDOW HARDWARE VINTAGE CLIP RING CHOOSE YOUR WINDOW HARDWARE Attach the clip ring behind the drape. The clip should not be visible from the front of the drape and should be attached to the plastic loop on the back of the drape, not to the drape itself. ROUND RING Attach the round ring behind the drape using the drapery hooks included with the drape.
