Everything in the house is dressed so why
not the window as well? The windows in the rooms are usually dressed
with panels, drapes or curtains. Dress the window with window tiers
which adds warmth and style to a room by giving it a casual and relaxed
look.
A window tier is called a
cafe or a privacy tier. It is hung in the middle of the window and
usually accompanied by a swag or a valance hung over it. The tier covers
half the window, leaving the top for the light to peep in. The window
tier is made from different materials and different pattern. The style
to hand it could be pleated with rings, tab top or rod pocket.

Two types of tiers are available.
Tailored window tiers can be used to dress the window of a modern
kitchen or a ruffled window tier with frill is used for a country-style
bedroom. Window tiers can be hung from half the window sill or a bit
above it.
How to hang window tiers
- With a measuring tape, measure the width of the window where you plan to hang the tiers.
- Choose a drapery rod of the appropriate length.
- Fix the rod at the desired height. Window tiers look best when the rod is midway between the top and bottom of the window.
- Insert the rod into the bracket and measure the length between the rod and the window sill.
- To determine the finished width of tab top style tiers, multiply the rod’s length by 2. Tab top panels look better when a slightly full fabric is used.
- If you plan to use the rod pocket style tier, then multiply the rod’s length by 2.5. Heavy fabric looks good with this style.
- If the window tier is made with lace, add 12-24 inches to the rod’s length.
- Select the tiers that suit the width.
- Use two or more tiers if the window is wide.
- Slide the tiers into the rod, arrange the tiers.
Window tiers let you enjoy the privacy
with the light coming in or a view of the twinkling stars. Window tiers
are not just an option of window treatment, but a style statement.
