Shopping for curtains and curtain rods can be exasperating, especially when you do not have an HGTV budget. Fret not, here are a few ideas to get the wheels turning and get privacy on those windows!
Curtain Rods
Curtain rods might be the biggest scam out there. You say to yourself, “it’s just a pipe and some fancy ends!” Well make it just about that. The cheapest curtain rod you’ve ever owned can also be completely customizable. Take a regular PVC pipe from the hardware store, spray some white primer on it and then use spray paint to color or make it look like whatever finish you want. Attach to the wall using some rod brackets. Here’s the best part, take a tennis ball, poke a hole in it to fit to the PVC pipe and cover the tennis ball in a fabric that goes with your décor. Stuff extra fabric into the hole and attach to the pipe!

Bedsheet Valances
In the end, fabric is fabric, no matter if it’s on your bed, on your body, or hanging over your windows, so if you find fun patterned sheets, expand your creativity to use them for perfect easy DIY valances. Take cardboard, yes cardboard, from an old Amazon box or whatever you have lying around. Measure and cut the sheet to the length of being able to cover the front side of the cardboard with enough so it can be puffed up and wrapped and secured around the edges of the cardboard in the back. Give yourself a little more fabric than you think you’ll need. Secure the fabric to the cardboard with rubber bands (about 4) and puff up the fabric in-between the rubber bands to hide them. You now have a fluffy valance to attach to your windows and give the room some personality.
Window coverings can be unique and inexpensive so try a few of these ideas next time you are stuck in a creative rut.
