The Designer’s Guide to Perfect Curtain Placement

Brooklyn Boucle curtains styled on the Rockford Rod in black, a versatile pairing that works in every room and adds an instant modern designer touch.

Rod Height: Aim Higher for Impact

The curtain rod should be positioned with the ceiling in mind—not just the window frame. Installing your rod at least 10cm-20cm above the window creates a sense of height, making your ceilings appear taller and your room more open.

For a more dramatic effect, mount your curtain rod even closer to the ceiling. This simple adjustment visually expands your space and elevates the overall aesthetic.

Curtain Length: Choose What Fits Your Style

We offer curated curtain lengths of 220cm, 240cm, and 260cm to suit different window heights and style preferences. When selecting a length, it’s best to round up to the next size for a designer look.

  • For a clean, modern finish, curtains should just graze the floor.
  • For a softer, more relaxed vibe, allow curtains to puddle slightly on the floor. Our linen mix sheer curtains are the perfect choice for this look.

Rod Width: Extend Beyond the Frame 

Your curtain rod should extend at least 10-20cm beyond each side of your window. This technique creates the illusion of a larger window and allows curtains to stack neatly when open, maximising natural light.

Our modular rods are adjustable, making it easy to achieve the perfect fit regardless of your window size.
