How high should I hang my curtain rods?
The height of the drapery can create an optical illusion and make your ceiling
look higher. Generally, the higher the drapery is mounted, the better and more
dramatic it will look.
It is best to mount the rods so that the top of the draperies is at least four
inches above the top of the window or molding. However, you may not have that
much space, or you may be installing curtains inside an alcove that does not
allow a lot of room. That’s okay work with what you have! The height of the
installation does not affect the rod’s width.
How to Measure for Curtain Rods
First, measure the width of the window, side to side, including the molding/frame, if any. If you are using pinch-pleated draperies on a traversing rod, the chart below will give you a good idea of the extra width you will have to add to your rod.
| Frame Width | Rod Width |
|---|
Up to 50″
51″ to 60″
61″ to 70″
71″ to 80″| Frame width PLUS 10″
Frame width PLUS 12″
Frame width PLUS 14″
Frame Width PLUS 16″
Say you are starting with a window frame that is up to 50 inches wide. Add ten
inches to that measurement, and an additional two inches for up to each
additional ten inches of frame width. Look at the chart to find your window’s
range and add the specified number of inches to the width, and that will be
the width of the rod you need.
The extra rod width will be evenly added to each side of the window for a
center draw, and only added to one side for a one-way operation.
