Q&A: What type of window treatment to use for higher than average windows?
Question by Nancy A: What type of window treatment to use for higher than average windows?
I have 2 windows in my bedroom that are 48″ W by 36″ H. The sill is about 55″ off of the floor. I do need them covered completely at times for privacy. I feel that floor length would look odd since there is so much space below window. They seem a little bare w/only a mini blind or roman shade.

You could use shudders or blinds, but I really think that using floor length curtains isn’t a bad thing. I use floor Length curtains in my basement, and to me, it feels less like a basement because it ‘tricks the eye’. You could also put a dresser underneath the window to make it look as though the window isn’t as high as it really is.
Good Luck

I think floor length drapes would add lots of drama and look great! Keep them airy and sheer or make them on the heavier side with some pattern on either side of the window!
