I'm on a mission to this common decorating mistake that I see far too often...high water curtns. It's not the first time it pops up, but now knowing better means doing better, so let's dive into why having your curtns hang just right is key for making spaces feel taller and more inviting.
Most ceilings measure at approximately 8 feet tall 96 inches - a fact most people are aware of. However, curtn lengths t to range between 84 inches or about 7 feet in length, which leads us into this phenomenon where curtns fall far short of touching the floor.
Now, I hear that high water curtns have made a comeback, but let me assure you: this is something we'll never see with curtns. The solution lies simple - ensure your curtn length matches your ceiling height for a clean and elegant look.
If you're living in a small space where the issue of 'high water' curtns is already in effect, don't fret because I've got some solutions to help you out.
How To Fix High Water Curtns: Add Curtn Clip Rings
Clip rings come in different sizes. The key is to measure your curtn rod thickness, and m for a size that's no more than one inch bigger than the rod itself. Anything beyond that can make things look off.
This method will add extra length of 1-2 inches deping on the clip ring size you choose. This trick comes in handy when using these Amazon rings.

Often, people hang their curtn rods too high above their windows, which can work well if curtns just reach the floor or even touch it slightly. To get this look working for you, lower your rod closer to the window frame for a more polished effect.
How To Fix High Water Curtns: Add Fabric?
If neither of these tricks works out for you, consider adding fabric to achieve that perfect length. Your best fri here is fabric tape.
For DIY novices like me, this method requires nothing more than a heat source – a hot iron will do the trick without needing any special equipment.

This technique can add anywhere between half an inch to one or even more inches in length to your existing curtns. Combined with other tips, you might just achieve that floor-level look you've been ming for.
How To Fix High Water Curtns: Buy New Curtns
If you're short on time and skill but long on style preferences, buying curtns that are correctly proportioned can be your best bet. Here's a list of some favorite stores carrying 96-inch, 108-inch, and even longer curtn lengths:
West Elm
CB2
ZGallerie
IKEA
Target
Amazon
Macy's
JCPenny
For those with ceilings taller than 9 feet: If you're lucky enough to have these high ceilings in your space, custom curtns might be the way to go as most retlers don't carry curtns longer than 108 or 120 inches.
