Curtains for Homes with High Ceilings

For rooms with high ceilings, we recommend Made-to-measure curtain lenghts that extend all the way from ceiling to floor. This helps enhance the beautiful proportions of the room while creating a softer, more inviting atmosphere.

The fabric you choose depends on the look and function you want to achieve. Sheer linen curtains create a light and airy feel while allowing natural daylight to filter through, whereas heavier fabrics add more depth, structure and a fuller drape.

For particularly large windows, adding more fabric or layering curtains can create an even more luxurious and balanced look.

We recommend letting your curtains run all the way from ceiling to floor. Hanging curtains high draws the eye upwards, enhances the ceiling height and can make both the windows and the room feel even more spacious.

For Gotain's signature look, we also love allowing the curtains to have a beautiful, soft drape onto the floor. Rather than ending just above the floor, the fabric gently meets it, creating a relaxed yet tailored look with an elegant sense of movement.

Since our curtains are made to measure, the length can be adapted to your specific ceiling height and the look you want to create.

Both can work beautifully – the choice mainly depends on the style you want to create.

A ceiling-mounted curtain track is a great option if you want to emphasize the height of the room. The track remains discreet and allows the curtains to fall in one continuous line from ceiling to floor, creating a clean and elegant look.

A curtain rod becomes more of a decorative feature. Choosing a rod in a finish such as black or antique bronze can add character and create a beautiful frame around the windows.

Start by considering both the atmosphere you want to create and the function you need from your curtains.

Sheer linen curtains are a beautiful choice if you want to preserve the light and airy feeling of large windows. They softly filter daylight while adding warmth, texture and privacy to the room.

If you prefer a more substantial look, choose heavier curtains with a fuller drape. Large rooms can often carry more fabric, allowing the curtains to become an important part of the interior rather than simply framing the windows.

You can also combine sheer and heavier curtains in layers for a more luxurious look and greater flexibility when it comes to controlling light and privacy.

Start by deciding how you want to hang your curtains – from a curtain track or a curtain rod – as this will determine where you should measure from.

Measure down towards the floor and consider how you want the curtains to finish. To achieve Gotain's signature soft and elegant look, you can allow for a little extra length so that the fabric creates a beautiful drape as it meets the floor.

Follow our measuring guide step by step for the correct measurements, or contact our curtain experts if you need help. With high ceilings and large windows, even a few centimetres can make a noticeable difference to the final result.
