When creating a window treatment, interior designers and drapery workrooms must keep the projection of the treatment in mind. Projection is a term that describes how far your window treatment will extend from the wall. With a drapery rod, projection is determined from the wall to the center of the cup of the bracket. With a drapery medallion, projection is determined from the wall to the back of the medallion. The average projection for a single layer window treatment is 3″. However, projection can vary depending on the type of treatment you are striving to create.
