How to Preview Curtains at Home: Try EZcurtain’s AR Curtain Visualizer for Custom Curtains

Why previewing curtains matters 

Buying curtains online can be risky. Even high-quality custom curtains may look different once they’re hung: color shifts under natural light, proportions don’t match, and the hanging style (rod vs. track, pleat vs. grommet) completely changes the vibe. That’s why a modern curtain visualizer is a game changer.

EZcurtain’s AR curtain visualizer lets you preview curtains at home in real scale. No guessing, no returns, just instant confidence. Whether shopping for sheer curtains for a dining room, linen curtains for a living space, or blackout curtains for sleep-tight darkness, seeing the treatment in your actual room makes the decision simple.

What is a curtain visualizer?

A curtain visualizer is a tool that shows how window treatments will look in a room. Traditional visualizers let you upload a photo and overlay patterns; EZcurtain AR (augmented reality) visualizers go further, they place a live, interactive preview on your real window through your phone camera. That means the fabric interacts with your room’s light and furniture and even respects foreground objects so curtains appear behind tables and plants—just like the real thing.

How EZcurtain’s AR tool works: step by step

1. Choose your style on the product page
   Select color, size, and hanging style (rod, track). The AR preview will reflect these choices.

2. Tap “View in Your Room”
   No app download, use your phone browser (Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android). Allow camera permission when prompted.

3. Point & scan
   Aim at the window area so the entire opening and baseboard are visible. The AR tool detects floor/wall planes in 1–3 seconds.

4. Place and preview
   Tap to anchor the virtual curtain. The preview will appear in scale and alignment with the window.

5. Adjust with your fingers
   Use single-finger drag to nudge position, and pinch-to-zoom to resize width and height. Try different colors or switch to roman shades or blackout linings to compare looks.

6. Save & share
   Screenshot or screen record favorite looks. Order free fabric swatches for final color confirmation before purchasing.

Best uses: when to use AR vs. ordering samples

• Use AR first when choosing a color family, deciding between sheer vs. blackout, or testing layered drapery with existing shades or roman shades.

• Order physical swatches when exact color or texture is mission-critical (e.g., matching upholstery). AR is great for scale, style, and vibe; swatches confirm tactile feel and precise color under your home’s lighting.

Sheer vs. linen vs. blackout: how AR helps you decide

• Sheer curtains: See how soft natural light will diffuse into a dining room or living room without losing a bright feel.

• Linen curtains: Preview the natural texture and slightly muted tones—perfect for a warm, organic aesthetic.

• Blackout curtains: Test how blackout linings block light and increase privacy in bedrooms or media rooms.

Use the AR curtain tool to quickly switch between these options and compare the tradeoffs visually—no returns, no guessing.

Practical tips for perfect AR previews

• Good light helps: Use even daylight but avoid direct glare into the lens.

• Include baseboards & trim: These references improve the AR depth detection.

• Stand back: For tall or wide windows, back up so the entire opening fits the camera.

• Start large, then fine-tune: Use big pinch gestures to get close, then small ones for precise alignment.

• Try layered looks: Test sheer + drapery to see both daytime and nighttime options.

Real results: reduce returns, buy with confidence

Customers who preview with EZcurtain’s AR tool report fewer returns and faster decisions. Visualizing custom curtains in context reduces the most common reasons for returns—mismatched color, wrong length, or style regrets. Think of the visualizer as a free designer in your pocket.
