Thank you! I'm not going to hang to ceiling which is 9ft. I'm going to hang 86 because windows are not either height. I think 86 is a good compromise. I'll use a double rod to hang sheers and the block out drapes.

You are funny, Karla! I love how hanging the curtains changed the acoustics of your room - it feels so much cozier!

What about the width when using a set of two curtains for one window?

@bettycoggin9359 2 жыл бұрын

Question. How many inches below the ceiling did you mount your brackets?

@VintageHipDecor 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Betty! We mounted them about 3.25" below the ceiling. Just enough to be able to get the curtain rod into place. Hope that helps!

Curtain length for 10ft ceiling?

@susanoyoolo1421 2 жыл бұрын

For a 9 foot ceiling if I want the curtain to kiss the floor what height of curtain is appropriate?

@VintageHipDecor 2 жыл бұрын

Great question! For 9 ft ceilings you'll need 108" curtains.

What are your thoughts on black out curtains? I love having the sun come in and brighten the room but I also really like having a dark room for movies or sleeping. What do you recommend?

Black out curtains are great for certain rooms like the bedroom. You just have to decide what will work best for you space, but both work great in any space!

Does this still work with bedroom windows that are quite small? I feel like it might look daft. My bedroom isn’t very big and I’m worried the curtains will take over!

@VintageHipDecor Жыл бұрын

Actually, curtains hung from floor to ceiling will make your space appear bigger since it emphasizes the vertical height of the space. With small windows, you want to ensure that you get a longer curtain rod so that the curtain panels can sit to the sides of the window when they're open. You don't want to block any of your window with the curtains when you have them open. It will help bring warmth and make your space appear bigger. Hope that makes sense.

If I have 8 foot ceiling, what would be the length of my curtains? Thank you

@VintageHipDecor Жыл бұрын

With 8 ft ceiling you would do 8 ft curtains which is 96" Hope that helps!

@georgehicks4035 Жыл бұрын

My bedroom has windows that are wide side-to-side and narrow vertically - they're like 6 feet wide and 20 inches top to bottom. They're also placed kind of high on the wall, so curtains going all the way to the floor will look stupid. Please advise.

@VintageHipDecor Жыл бұрын

The full length curtains are about creating a line that goes floor to ceiling to make the room appear bigger so it is about more than just the windows. In your case, I would still hang the curtains from floor to ceiling, but maybe just on the far left and far right side.

@theascroggin242 3 жыл бұрын

I'm struggling with curtain length bc I hearing that you purchase the length from floor to ceiling (in my case 8 ft/95"), however, no one ever outs the curtain rods all the way up to the ceiling, so that would mean the curtains then pool along the floor, no? Ugh!

@VintageHipDecor 3 жыл бұрын

I totally hear you! It can be frustrating. This is how I look at it - Most curtains have a bit of fabric above the loops that the rod goes through so that helps account for some of it, but also, a little bit of pooling on the floor is fine too. Floor to ceiling is just a guideline to aim for and getting pretty close is good enough. The guideline is just to help prevent the curtains being way too short lol. If you really are not happy with the amount of fabric on the ground, you can get some no sew hem tape to shorten them a bit with just an iron. I hope that helps you!

Please help my window 36 inches both of them what size rod and curtain i need

@VintageHipDecor Жыл бұрын

You only need your curtain rod to be slightly longer than your window frame. So I wouldn't get anything less than 40" for the rod. It depends on how much wall space you have on either side of your window and if you want the curtains to be next to your window when you open them instead of overlapping your window. I hope that makes sense.

@finalcountdown3210 4 ай бұрын

Measure from above your window to the floor, and go from there? You want curtains to be wider than the window itself. Probably a traditional 96" height and a 50" width. Curtains do that wavy thing, so the width number will seem deceptively wide compared to how it will actually look.

@serenitynow8021 6 ай бұрын

The length of the curtains isn’t necessarily that simple if your rod mounting hardware limits how close to the ceiling it can be hung AND if you are using curtain rings, which I need to allow the curtains be opened and closed easily. I have 9 foot ceilings and even my 102” curtains are too long with my specific rod and rings. Totally bummed.
