Imagine a line from the left corner - straight across - hang the rod just under that line. What is your bedding?

Yes you can raise them up, but I would then add roman or woven blinds underneath to cover the drywall exposed.

The print is what it is now but looking to potentially do something solid. The third photo is just our current bed spread reversed. Would love to know which concept works better, print or solid for this space.

You might consider a long sided swag valance the length of the window hung to cover the top and sides of the window frames (leaving as much glass and natural light visible as possible) rather than longer curtain or drapes.

oreolucca1 what height should the lamps be? Does that height include the shade as well? I need so much help in anything I do with any sort of decoration. I just don't have an eye for any of it. I love looking at other people's work just get so frustrated by not being able to create a room I love by myself. Thank you for your patience and help!

When you buy new curtain panels the standard 84inch will be too short when you raise the rod. You will have to get 95 or 108 inch. That will help you determine where to put the rod. :)

Hello I would do at least six inches taller. you can always take painters tape and put on the wall. And larger scale as well. You can always grab a couple to try out at pottery barn, crate and barrel or a store where you can return. Just get some and see what you like best. And Yes the height would include the shade. Your doing fine with this room. Just take your time and do not get frustrated.
