I would not do that.Īnd, like in the first example, I would not hang the curtains underneath the first transom. The tall super skinny panels give a match-stick-like appearance. Usually, the hems range from 12″-27″ Or, from about 1/5th – 1/6th the total height of the drape.Ī while back I received a similar difficult window from another reader.īelow is an idea that I don’t think is very successful for a similar difficult window. How long? Well, sometimes if you’re lucky, you’ll have a low window sill. We add a deep contrast hem to extend the length. But, the curtain is too short.īelow is one of my favorite solutions for that problem window situation. So, let’s say you’d like to use a ready-made curtain to save money. However, it only comes as long as 108″ – nine feet. That’s actually an image of a Pottery Barn velvet twill curtain. I also created another version showing a plain fabric that is a similar color to the wall. (I found these ready-made panels on Overstock) You could maybe get away with a panel and a half, but not a single panel as shown here. That means two widths of fabric that are 54″ wide. However, if the drapes don’t need to close, I would do a double panel. The drapery panel width isn’t indicated here. I think the proportion of the curtain is just right, as well. I think if we cover up about two thirds of the window, it’s really fine. The logical solution, as I see it would be to hang draperies above the next grouping of windows just underneath the big arch.īut… Laurel, what about the quarter circle windows? Won’t that look funny to have curtains? I don’t think that’s a good look because it is too bottom-heavy.
The current home-owner says that the previous owner hung curtains from the top of the lowest windows.

Remember this living room? If you have a window like that, please check out the link for my ideas, plus those of many readers. And, there’s that quarter round window that has been my nemesis for many years. Please refer to this post for more info about that.Īhhh, yes. I love arched windows, but in the appropriate proportions and settings. Right?Īnd, on top of that, we are often forced to deal with the ubiquitous arch. I mean, it would appear that one just can’t have too many windows stacked on top of each other. The other day I received an email about a very common type of difficult window.Ī difficult window situation that’s very common is usually found in today’s “great room.” If it’s an image that’s a “don’t do that,” I would prefer it not be pinned to pinterest. So, let’s take a look at some common difficult window situations and look at both what to do and also what not to do.
The topic of difficult windows is one that I get a lot of comments and emails about.
