Where should I hang a curtain rod — at the top of the window frame or higher?
You can hang the rod just above the window frame. However, for a more elegant look, hang it closer to the ceiling. This will offer a longer sweep of fabric and will help visually heighten the room a bit. Make the rods wide enough so that the stackback of drapery fabric will clear the sides of the window, rather than covering part of the glass.
