How to hang curtain rods high and wide?

There are a few different ways to hang curtain rods high and wide. You can use a ceiling-mounted track system or purchase track extenders. If you don’t have access to a track system, you can use a transitional rod (a combination of a track and a basic rod). Transitional rods are usually mounted on wall-mounted brackets.

Transitional rods are best for rooms where you want the curtains to cover the windows and the walls. The two most popular ways to hang curtain rods are the standard and the eye-level.

The first poses the risk of the curtains touching your shins and the second places the rod higher than you might like. Fortunately, both of these are easy to avoid. To hang your curtain rods at an eye-level, simply measure the distance between your ceiling and the top of the window and add six inches.

If you’ve ever tried to hang your curtain rods high, perhaps on a ceiling handrail, you know it’s challenging.

How to hang curtain rods wide?

When hanging curtain rods with your existing hardware, you can opt to hang them farther out than their original positions. This method allows you to create a bigger window in your room, as well as add some architectural interest. It also allows you to replace your existing curtain rods with something new and bigger.

If you’re considering getting new curtain rods, you can also opt to go wider than the width of your existing curtain rods. Before hanging the curtain rods, measure the width of the window shades, curtain, and valances and subtract the sum of the width of the two rod brackets from the calculated width of your window.

If you’ll need to hang the curtain rods closer together, add an additional curtain rod bracket.

How to hang curtain rods short?

If you want to hang your curtain rods short, you can use a track, which is mounted to your ceiling, and place the rod over it. You can also use a mounted bracket to attach your curtain rods to the wall, but this option might look odd and block some of the light from entering your room.

To hang a single rod short, you can use a track, or you can use a horizontal bracket. To hang wall-mounted curtain rods short, you’ll need a deeper window recess. Measure the window width and then add 2-3 inches. For example, if you have a window recess that’s 16-1/2 inches deep, you’ll need to measure the window width plus 2-3 inches to determine how to hang your curtain rods.

How to hang curtain rods higher?

To hang curtain rods higher, you will need to buy a longer curtain rod. When you buy the rod, make sure it’s the same length from screw to screw on both ends. Then, measure from the top of the wall to the ceiling where you want your curtain rod to hang. Add about 11 inches to the length of your curtain rod and that will be the length you need. Of course, you can also get longer curtain rods and hang them lower. The next thing you can do to hang curtain rods higher is to add a kickout bracket to the top of each rod. These brackets are designed to give the appearance of extra length and make the draperies appear to be higher. While they are relatively easy to install, the result is an uneven look. This unevenness can be hidden by adding a valance to the top of the curtain(s).
