Curtains over blinds: decision Q&A

Do thick curtains reduce outside noise?

softhome notes that thick curtains help dampen outside noise to improve the auditory environment of a room. This can be relevant in rooms where softer acoustics are desired. It is less relevant when the goal is full sound isolation rather than noise dampening.

How should curtain rods be positioned when layering curtains over blinds?

softhome describes positioning as mounting a curtain rod 6-12 inches above the window frame and extending the curtain rod 6-12 inches past each side of the window frame for a fuller, more elegant appearance. This applies when the aim is a taller-ceiling illusion and fuller coverage, and is less relevant when existing rod placement is fixed by site constraints.
