Long curtains on everything? Thank you thank you

8 years ago

hello friends, thank you for taking time to read this. This is a picture of one major wall in my house- the kitchen to the family room. It has four windows, one more you can not see, & a sliding glass door. Am I supposed to put long curtains from ceiling to floor on all of these windows?

You can determine rod placement based on the length of the drapes. If they are 84 inches, for example, place the rod so that the drapes fall just short of the floor. If you need longer drapes, raise the rod higher. Some folks say that the rod should be placed close to the ceiling....I do not believe that is necessary.

It depends on what you want to achieve. If privacy is not an issue, you don't necessarily need to have curtains for the sliding. I see blinds on other windows, so you can do just decorative panels or valances to bring in color and softness. Regarding the rod placement, higher will give the illusion of taller windows and a better feel of the ceiling height. Hope this helps!

Is it important to you to be able to open the window? If not, you could use blinds straight across to cover the bottom say 2/3 of the window and some type of sheer above gathered to the middle like you see on many arched transoms. Or something like this.

I'd like the shutters option above (nice example pics!) but I'd probably go for solid shutters & keep them open during the day because the example above just block too much light for me! In M-C Bennett's case, seeing as it appears to be a dark room, I'd go for solid shutters on the bottom & just leave the top window as a feature, uncovered window! Downside of shutters is, yes, you keep the use of your windowsill, but you have to remove everything to open & close them! Nothin wrong with a nice neat deep velour curtain either!!

A Greige would be nice, a mix between Grey and Beige, I wouldn't go fully to either colour. But, an in-between would be nice. If you'd like any, one to one advice or design help, feel free to get in touch. Email - kerrybryaninteriors@outlook.com Kerry

Hi all, trying out new curtain styles for the upstairs landing and struggling to decide between two (and whether either works). Any thoughts on the darker or lighter colour? Thank you!

I agree with Sheeja. Window treatments frame the. iew and always make a room look finished. Hang your panels close to the ceiling to accentuate height, and yes, they DO need to go to the floor. No short panels... ever, ever, ever. Also, rods need to be wider than the window by 6-8" on either side. The panel should cover a bit of wall, the trim, and a bit if window. I highly recommend designer hardware, too. The telescoping joint is a huge faux pas, and Rowley makes affordable pieces. If you do telescoping, get the largest base span you can find so the joint is covered by the panel, and not in the middle of the window.
