Why This Curtain Trick Works

Ever walked into a room and felt like the ceilings were soaring, making the space feel open and luxurious? You don’t need a costly renovation to achieve that effect. By hanging your curtains higher than the window frame, you can:

✅ Create the illusion of taller ceilings
✅ Make the room feel more spacious
✅ Draw the eye upward, giving the space a polished and elegant look

Step-by-Step Guide to Using This Trick

1. Choose the Right Curtains

Opt for floor-length curtains to add elegance and drama. Light fabrics create an airy feel, while heavier materials add warmth and coziness.

2. Measure & Hang Higher

Instead of placing your curtain rod just above the window frame, install it 4–6 inches below the ceiling or crown molding. This simple shift makes a big difference!

3. Extend the Curtain Rod Wider

Mount the curtain rod a few inches beyond the window’s width. This trick allows more natural light to flow in and makes the window look larger.

4. Coordinate with Room Decor

Stick with neutral tones for a classic, buyer-friendly look that enhances the space without overwhelming it.

💡 Bonus Staging Tip: Want an even bigger impact? Paint your ceiling a shade lighter than your walls to create depth and an even more expansive feel.

Why This Hack is Perfect for Staging

When staging your home, small changes can make a huge difference. Buyers are drawn to bright, open, and inviting spaces, and this curtain trick is a cost-effective way to achieve a high-end look without a major investment.
