Comments (19)Think about hotel rooms. They so often have a room-width black-out curtain ... and behind it a thin sheer ... and usually some type of non-moveable header (either cloth or wood) ... and they pull open so nicely. While staying in a hotel a year or so ago, I decided that's exactly what I want, so I took a good look at the hardware involved. Hotels have ceiling mounted tracks. Something like this: This ceiling-mounted curtain track can be supported every 2-3 feet, eliminating any possibility of sagging rods as years go by. You can cut them to fit your dimensions, and they're even available in around-the-corner styles. The negatives, of course, are that you'll need floor-to-ceiling curtains, and you'll probably have to do some sewing adjustments to the curtains yourself. Still, I'm going to do this in my bedroom, where I expect to open/close the drapes frequently. I wouldn't do it in, say, the dining room, where I'm going to use plantation shutters and curtains that'll essentially never move....See More10’ ceiling. How high should curtains go?

Comments (6)someone else just mentioned their photo was stretched. but i have to say neither photo seemed 'off' to me. you couch seems a perfectly sensible size...hmmm. anyway, my rule for drapes is the rod goes no higher than half way from the casing to the ceiling. do a rod all the way across... 'rodlettes'' are a past style that i didnt even care for at the time....See MoreHow high should curtains be?
Comments (2)I like your room. I think the 95 will look good. I am concerned about the tight clearance around your fireplace and in the corner. Curtains will cover a good portion of the window and shutters. You might be able to get a little extra rod length if you use a curved or french return rod....See Moreshadylady2u
