Is there a difference between wood and metal curtain rods?

The decision to use wood or metal curtain rods is a personal choice. If you're going for a modern look, the different finishes metal rods come in will achieve a contemporary look. Wood rods have a more elegant look, or you can get a country farmhouse look with a thicker wooden rod in a dark color.

How should I measure my windows for hanging drapes?

If you want the drapes to cover the entire window when closed, you want to measure the width of your window and add 12 inches to each side and double it. For example, if your window width is 36 inches, the curtain should be 72 inches for full closure.

How much light do room darkening curtains block?

Room-darkening curtains won't completely block light as blackout curtains do, but they will darken a room quite a bit. A room-darkening curtain does let some light pass through. If you want to filter the light more, add a sheer panel under the curtains.
