What effect does the position of the curtain rod have?
Many people make the mistake of hanging rods too high or too low. There really isn’t a wrong way, but we like to think there’s a better way: if you have really high ceilings and the windows don’t go very close to the top of the wall, you can create longer looking windows by hanging the curtain rods closer to the ceiling. You’ll need longer curtains of course, but your windows will look much taller. You can also create more width to your window by hanging the curtains wider. If you don’t open the curtains past the window edge it will seem like they are covering a much larger window.
