where to get extra wide curtains?

13 years ago

last modified: 13 years ago

Does anyone know where I could find extra wide/long curtains at a reasonable price?

I am looking to add simple white/cream draperies for 2 windows with the following size:
- 124" wide and 97" long
- 100" wide and 100" long

The issue comes from finding the right width. Most of the curtains panels that I've seen are 50" wide. If I use 2 panels per windows with 50% fullness, I would need two 93" wide panels for the first window and two 75" wide panels for the second window.

The price for custom size draperies for one window I've found online seems to range from $700 to $1200++ ?? I wish Ikea was also offering draperies wider than 57".

Any inputs welcome. Thanks!

i may end up doing this as well, i have a lot of large windows and I don't think I have the budget to do this all custom. How come it's so expensive otherwise? There is a lot of material however bed sheets are very large as well and are much more cheaper. Maybe I'm not looking at the right places for reasonable prices?

I always buy extra panels to make up the width. I do not worry that they are not sewn together.

My experience is that drapery fabric is always expensive.

Sheets run off grain, are thin, no sizing, no protective finish, the list goes on. There truly is no comparison. Your windows are big--sound like they cover the full wall? Are you needing privacy--needing the curtains to shut? Curious about the 50% fullness--are you going to like the look of the panels pulled flat when closed?

I don't know what style you are after, but you might consider ripplefold draperies. They require less fullness than traditional draperies. They look great in sheers--many of which come in 118" widths--as do select other custom drapery fabrics. They are also a breeze to open and close.

Pottery Barn has some 100" wide panels at a reasonable price. They have nice linen/cotton blend panels in white, ivory, etc. on sale currently at $211 per for 100" by 108". Sorry this is likely too late, everline!
