Oversized Window Curtains
Oversized window curtains make a dramatic design statement while solving practical challenges in homes with large or tall windows. These extra-length curtains typically measure 108 inches or longer to accommodate ceilings over 9 feet or windows with special architectural features. Beyond their functional purpose, oversized curtains create a sense of grandeur and luxury in any space. When hung properly (mounted close to the ceiling and pooling slightly on the floor), they visually elevate room proportions. For best results with oversized window curtains, choose sturdy rods and brackets that can support the additional fabric weight. Consider fabrics with some body that drape well without looking limp – velvet, heavy linen, or lined materials work particularly nicely. Custom-made options ensure perfect proportions for your specific windows, though many retailers now offer extended-length ready-made panels in various styles from modern to traditional.
