How high above window should I hang curtain rod?
Comments (2)Well will the curtains be custom or readymade? That might help you decide. While some like a rod under the ceiling, I'm not a fan of seeing all that wall space between the top of the window and the rod. So, there is no correct answer, it's a matter of preference or necessity. It should be at least 4" above the window/molding if possible and can go all the way up to the ceiling, or anywhere in between....See MoreWhere should I hang my curtains?
Comments (14)From what I can tell from your photo, it seems you don't have a choice, as there is no room between the top of the transom and the ceiling. They need to be hung between the window and the transom. That being said, there seems to be a weird wavy piece of ceiling in that room. Is there room above that? Can it be removed?...See MoreWhere do I hang a curtain rod?
Comments (14)I agree with all of the advice about hanging your drapes above the transom. Also make sure you hang them wide enough so that they stack off the windows when they are opened. Your drape should hang over the glass a couple of inches so most drapes stack about 11 inches wide when they’re open. You can buy wands that attach to the drape at the inside top for opening and closing so your little darlings won’t put their paws on your fabric. LOL. So glad you asked for advice before you put them too low and too narrow...See MoreHow should I hang curtains here
