You want a curtain rod to extend beyond the sides of the window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To find how high you need to install the hardware, measure the space between the top of the window and the ceiling. The curtain rod should sit two-thirds of the way to the ceiling, and depending on the ceiling height, this can translate to between 4 and 10 inches. Sometimes,<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> crown molding or the ceiling may prevent you from hanging the curtains close to the ceiling. In these cases, place it as high as possible. For a more dramatic effect, get longer than necessary curtains to pool on the floor.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Remember, a curtain panel must be wider than the width of the window. So, when shopping around for curtains, pick a width of two to three times wider than the window.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color: #940638;\">Pro Tip: Choose curtains that complement your design style!
