Another trick to consider: Install curtains from floor to ceiling. They'll add instant height to a cramped space by drawing the eye upward. Most retailers have seen a demand for longer curtains and now stock in lengths from 84 inches to as long as 124 inches that you can hem to fit.

I'm pretty sure these window treatments are custom, but you can still create this look on a budget. Create your own pelmet box or valance by having wood cut to size at your local lumber store. Attach foam padding and some inexpensive fabric using a staple gun. Use fabric glue or Stitch Witchery to attach trim to the edges. Add matching trim on the curtain panels and voilà — an amazing statement window treatment for a fraction of the cost.

These curtains were cut to length to fit an awkward space. They also incorporate a favorite trick — sewing multiple fabrics together to create a custom drape. Get this look by purchasing inexpensive curtain panels or fabric to cut and sew into a single curtain.
