Can you remember back to a time when most windows looked alike? I'm talking about how they were all covered in draperies if they were in living rooms and bedrooms and cafe curtains if they were in kitchens. Our house was that way, and I could go to friends' homes and find the same thing. These window coverings were backdrops against the scenery displayed in the room. We've come a long way since then, though, and people seek much more individuality than they used to. The heavy draperies are being replaced by many different types of window treatments MT.
Always wash hands thoroughly. It's very easy to forget, but after you have been handling dirty tools when fitting your pole, it is all too easy to put dirty hands on your clean, fresh new fabric. Check curtains before hanging. Remove from their packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Check that both curtains match regarding pattern and color, check the stitching of the curtains and check the size of the curtains. Nobody wants to spend time carefully hanging their curtains to stand back and see that one is longer than the other!
Creased curtains? Do not worry. It is likely that your curtains will be creased from their packaging, do not be concerned, the weight of the hanging curtain will ensure all creases drop out over time. If you want to speed the process along it is sometimes possible to lightly iron the curtains before hanging. But, please check the label or manufacturer first as not all fabrics will respond well to the heat from the iron.

Hanging curtains is a two man (or woman) operation! Ensure you have a sturdy ladder. While one person is inserting the curtain hook into the eyelet of the track or pole the other person must take the weight of the remaining curtain, failure to do this will result in the remaining curtain sliding down the strings and ruining the even gather you have created.
