Helen Peil on Nov 25, 2014I make custom window treatments. Normally I will have the rod installed approx. 4" above window molding. Still, it is a matter of choice, no hard fast rule.Helpful Reply

Cecelia on Nov 25, 2014It is up to you. If u want to give the illusion of a higher ceiling, go as high as u can leaving room for your rod and curtain to hang right. Also if you want to make the window look wider, hang your rod and curtain to go past the window widthHelpful Reply
