This may not be Dear Abby but how about a survey of where one "hangs / attaches " curtain rods.
Into the window frame. ( screwed on the frame wood )
Into the wall. (screwed into the plaster / dry wall )
I am also currious if there is any gender bias.
TIA

Depends on the window, type of window covering, and what you want it to look like. There isn't a "set rule".
I don't have any window coverings at all in this house.
In my old one, I had cornice boards that were placed outside the frame and against the crown molding. Some had regular drapes to the floor in the LR, DR, and my bedroom, some had blinds that covered the frame in the family room, and inside the frame in the breakfast sunroom. Had Roman shades (fabric) in a couple of bedrooms, one was inside the frame, the other wasn't.
If it's beautiful woodwork, I wouldn't want to cover it up, which is one of the reasons I don't have any in this house. It also helps that there's no one close enough to see into my windows as it would cost a flippin' fortune to cover them all!
What type of window are you trying to cover, and what are you covering it with? Style of house, decor?

Um, yeah, well you see, none at the moment. I was just wondering if there was any rhyme or reason to placement. You certainly have provided me with plenty of food for thought however.
I guess that is how we get the term 'window treatments"? :thatsright:

Hell, I don't know..call the White House...that's probably the only question Obama has the answer to.

Exactly!
I have the drapes for my living room that the previous owner left. I had them and the rods taken down when I had the room painted when we moved in. I had them cleaned and still haven't rehung them! :thatsright: They had a "designer" do the house, and the guy covered the front window which is 15 ft tall, and about 6 ft wide, and there are three sets of atrium windows- 1 is a door, in there. All of them were covered up in this really heavy ruby red brocade trimmed with short gold fringe. Uh....ok. I had an upholster guy who was recovering my living room furniture, make some pillows from the fabric on the big window. And I would like to hang the others, on the outer edges of the doors, but the ceiling is cathedral and beamed and the beams are in the way, unless I want to cover up the woodwork. I've been watching on HGTV and I'm thinking of getting those short rods - about 12", on the outer edges of each one, but even doing that, the beams are in the way. I don't want to block the light, but I would like the color. (colors in there are deep gold, black, with cobalt, the same red, and a olive-y green as accents, and the walls are a vanilla cream..woodwork is a dark stain kind of between mahoghany and cherry)
