Curtain from the ceiling when the window is not?

Question

Hello,

I have a 3,7m (12feet) high ceiling and it doesn't feel cozy. To solve that people have been reccomending me to hang curtains to the ceiling and not right above the window. Problem is: all the pictures from the internet have windows that also completely or almost go to the ceiling. But my window is only 2m (6.5feet) high. Does anyone have experience with this, if it despite that will the room more cozy. Thank you in advance

Hi Franco,

I would love to help you make the room more cozy.

Can you send a picture of this so we can talk about it?

Hi Franco,

Good question. The floor to ceiling curtains are common with homes with shorter ceilings and thusly they bring the space closer together. When looking at high ceilings and small windows, you might want to opt for translucent or opaque curtains preferably with a warm tone that can be hung over the window, but not from the ceiling as a narrow vertical line often add a much more vertical feeling. Though in all honesty, this is something that is up to you in regards to design preferences.

Here is a link to an article from professional staging that might help. https://professionalstaging.com/staging-tips/how-to-make-a-room-with-high-ceilings-feel-cozy/

Remember a key idea, when your ceilings are high look at how we live in them, do we stand tall in the 8 to 10 feet of a room or the full 12 feet.
