ikea extendable curtain rod
A spring-loaded shower curtain rod is an ideal solution for awkward bathroom spaces. Spring-loaded, or spring-tension, shower curtain rods are a quick solution to getting your shower splash under control or brushing up a less-than-perfect bathroom in a sale home. These devices come in different lengths and can also be length-adjusted, so they can be fitted into odd-sized bathing areas and save you from having to drill into drywall or tile to mount a permanent rod. They come in several size ranges, from 23 inches up to 74 inches. The bottom of the shower curtain should be several inches above the floor of the tub or shower enclosure so that bathers don't step on it, and so it dries well between showers. Measure the width between the walls of the space where you plan to install the shower curtain rod. Grasp the curtain rod with your hands positioned on opposite sides of the twist point. The location of the twist point will be different on products from different manufacturers. Hold one side firmly and twist the other to either lengthen or shorten the rod until it is an inch or so longer than the space you plan to install it.
Place the curtain rings on the rod and hook the curtain onto the rings. Place your hands on either side of the tension spring and push the two sides of the rod closer to compress the interior spring. Position the rod where you want it between the two walls and release your hold. The inside spring will push outward firmly against both walls to hold the rod in place through friction. Compress the rod slightly to adjust the height of the curtain to your liking. Ideally, the bottom edge of the curtain should be far enough from the floor of the enclosure to allow for good drainage and low enough that the lip of the enclosure can hold the bottom of the curtain inside when the shower is in use. Place the level on the rod to check that the rod is nicely aligned and compress it again to fine-tune positioning until it is level from side to side. Give the rod a final twist or two to increase the pressure against the two walls, ensuring that it remains securely in place.

It came a bit wrinkled and tried a few things to get rid of them: steaming on low heat from an iron, hanging it over the end of the shower curtain rod for a few days so it got steamed, using wrinkle releaser, then just washing it on cold and hang drying. Didn't work, and I got a little impatient. Not too worried about it. If I went to a store and got it off a roll, I bet it wouldn't be an issue.

I had no clue what I wanted as far as decor and design goes. I know, I know. A DIY blogger not knowing what kind of style she likes!? I have always tried to make the decor of our home work within the confines of where we live. And for the past several years that has been apartments. Boring, beige, standard apartments. So when we moved in to the new house where I could do anything I wanted, I was in a big of a decor shock. What do I want!? I had/have no clue. I didn’t want to be super trendy for fear of hating it in 2 years!
So I was afraid to commit to anything {with the exception of paint, I knew I loved gray.. but apparently I didn’t know what shade of gray I loved} and that included curtains. As many people will tell you when you move, you should always make sure you have bedding and bathing supplies available immediately. Most people also tell you to have curtains immediately. I was afraid to commit! I didn’t buy them until we had lived in our home for a week. We would sit in the living room at night to veg and watch a little TV. Suddenly, I knew what it felt like to be on reality TV. Dark night, lights on in the house, and no curtains? Yup, everyone could see our every move. I started calling it the “Fishbowl Effect”. I was imagining all kinds of creepy pervs lining up to stand outside our house. So my mom and I skipped off to Ikea and bought some beautiful Rivta curtains that are nice and super long! We also bought a nice and long curtain rod. I don’t love extendable rods because they always seem to sag in the middle, but this one was long enough to fit over the window without extending.
And then the dreaded chore… hanging the curtains. I almost always ended up with multiple holes in the walls. So instead, I figured out the easy way to hang your curtains! And because I’m so nice, I’ll let you in on the little secret.This is how our front window looked when we moved in and after painting the first time. Just like creepers would have seen me. So I grabbed a nearby box and cut out a chunk of cardboard. That is what you need to do this. It will make your life easier. Follow the diagram people. Draw a 2×2-inch in the bottom right corner. This is where you will line up the window edge. Then figure out how far out and up from your window corner you want the curtain rod holder bracket thingy . Don’t you worry. That IS the technical term. Mark the spot where they intersect. This is where the top of the thingy will sit. Now cut out the 2×2 square. And place the bracket-y thingy with the top screw on the intersection point. Make sure the bracket is level vertically. P
lace all the screws where they are supposed to be in the thing-a-ma-jig. Push the screws into the cardboard to make indents. Move the bracket-y thing and push the screws through the cardboard to create holes. I also made one for the center of the window, where I was putting another brace. To use the template for the center, I would be turning the template 90 degrees to the left. So imagine that now. Oeasure up from the base of the template {aka the left side in the picture above} the same distance up you used for the corner and draw a point. So if your corner point is 7 inches up, measure 7 inches up and draw a point. Make your holes with the screws again, just like before. Now, if you need to place a bracket thingy in the middle of your window, you just need to turn the template 90 degrees. M This is the template being put to work by my lovely model, my momma. Just line up the corner of your template with the corner of your window and drill through your holes! Then flip the template horizontally and use the back of the template for the other corner of the window. T
