How high should your curtain rail be?
)
The placement of your curtain rail has a major impact on both the room’s proportions and the overall impression of your curtains. A properly positioned track ensures an elegant drape, enhances ceiling height, and creates a refined, architectural look.
Installing the rail close to the ceiling
For a modern, luxurious result, it is recommended to position the curtain rail as close to the ceiling as possible. This creates the illusion of higher ceilings and allows the curtains to fall freely from a high point, giving a calm and harmonious expression.
Ceiling-mounted curtains are particularly effective in rooms with large windows or spacious interiors, where the curtains become an integral part of the room’s architecture.
Adjusting the height to the window
If wall mounting is preferred, the rail should be installed above the window, with enough clearance for the curtains to cover the entire window without obstructing light. Mounting slightly higher than the window frame adds elegance and elongates the visual proportions of the space.
With custom-made curtains, the length is calculated precisely according to the track height, ensuring a perfect drape regardless of the mounting method.

The Advantage of Custom-Made Curtains
By taking track height into account from the start, every detail is carefully considered. Custom-made curtains provide perfect length, balanced proportions, and a drape that enhances both fabric and color.
The right track height is a decisive detail for a harmonious, luxurious, and professionally finished interior.
