Do your curtain rods have screws where the bar connects with the wall brackets? If so, would tightening the screws help? <br /><br />Since my curtains have grommets, I arrange them so one pleat is over the wall bracket, and this holds the curtain in place. This stabilizes the curtains considerably. Hope this helps!Robin Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902099859770996417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-46369998623243724702015-12-28T12:56:36.660-05:002015-12-28T12:56:36.660-05:00Great idea, doing this now, thanks for the tip!

The weight idea is fine, but oy, those drapes. Not high enough, not wide enough, the rods should extend beyond the window as should the curtain. I'm sorry but I am surprised with all the information available to those without instinct on how to design a space, this still happens.
