Hi Angela! Hang them above the window, close to ceiling, and outside of windows a few inches. Keep the colors light and airy, and your windows will look bigger.
YOU CAN INSTALL DRAPES WHICH GO PAST THE WINDOW FRAME TO MAKE IT LOOK LARGER. Have you thought about using sheers in the middle so that it adds a touch of elegance? Sheers and grommet drapes go nicely together. Grommet drapes are easy to pull back when not needed for privacy or darkness.
Hang your rods as close to the ceiling as you can and about 6 inches outside of the windows. Push your curtains all the way to the ends of the rod so that the least bit of widow is covered as possible. I love to use drop cloths for curtains.
If you hang your drapes all the way at the top of your wall, it will make your ceiling appear higher and your room larger.
Trimming the long interior edge of your window drapery with a piece of complementary patterned fabric can help draw the eye upward from floor to ceiling, , as can using vertical stripes.
Draperies can always be held open with "tie backs" made from your trim material, fringed cording, etc.
Hang the brackets above the top of window and out past the sides. then use sheers in middle covering actual whole window and drapes on outer edges covering walls where there is no actual window. Keep drapes light in color & material and with small thin prints, try to stay away from horizontal or diagonal prints especially if it is lines.Use mirrors on other walls to bounce light around room & on opposite wall from the windows will make room look much bigger try to keep from monstrous/big sized brackets rods too keep them streamlined & simple.
