I have a gigantic sliding glass door in my condo that is similar in size to your window. I had JC Penney do their magic on them. I'm very happy. I don't remember what it cost but since I don't make much money, it couldn't have cost that much. Please give them a call and get an estimate. Keep in mind that the kind of fabric will make a difference in price. They also did my office window in roman blinds (with a sheer for privacy on my request) - very pretty! Also keep in mind that window treatments are an investment (in my opinion) and you will enjoy them for years to come (now I'm sounding like a salesperson!!!!)

You can always sew them yourself!

Yes, even if your sewing skills aren't great, drapes are EASY. Just straight lines.

What style and fabric?

Try Ballard.

Anthropologie also has curtains in 108" lengths, and they have frequent sales. You might need four curtains/panels for each window for fullness, though, because they can be skimpy.

Ikea has a few options in 114" and 118" lengths.

Can you use Roman shades for some of the windows? I'm in Canada and have had good luck with Blinds dot ca, which is presumably the Canadian arm of blinds dot com.

I took the cost of curtains into account for our new house when we were planning window sizes. They're large, but placed lower down.

Thanks everyone so much for the suggestions! I will definitely check out the places/websites mentioned! That is a great place to start and I am so thankful for the advice! I so wish that I could sew!

Are those meaurements length / Maybe post some pics of the spaces in your drawings, sometime not all windows need drapes or even any widow coverings but I need a lot more info.

I also love custom made curtains, but sometimes they are just not practical or warranted. Plain white linen, polyester or cotton will be the least expensive option. I've heard some have even used painter's tarps--off white heavy canvas--for curtains.

I just installed white polyester linen sheers, pinch pleat headings from Vermont Country Store. They recently bought out Country Curtains, so almost all the styles are the same.

They offer the curtains in extra wide widths for multiple windows/doors.

These photos are in a vacation home where the homeowner did not want to spend the $$ on custom curtains. All told, the curtains cost less than $1,000, including tax and delivery. While they don't provide privacy, they do soften and filter the light.

Pottery Barn carries drapes at 108”.

Just before they closed, I won $500 in window treatments from Country Curtains. Vermont Country Store has most of their inventory and is adding to it. Check them out. Do post some kind of visual regarding your actual windows. It is highly likely that they don't all need drapes. Often a combo of drapes on some windows and matching roman shades on others can handle the size differences.

My favorite curtains are Pottery Barn. I just put panels in my living room (Emery linen/cotton white, 6 windows), dining room (Riviera striped linen/cotton, 2 windows), and bedroom (Belgian flax linen, white, 2 windows). All of their panels include curtain hooks and we hung them from rings. We hung the rods ourselves, hung the curtains, and then measured for hemming by a seamstress to a 1/2” float (I can’t even see on a button, let alone hem a curtain panel). “Custom” look at a somewhat better price (but still not cheap!). However their panels max out at 108” so wouldn’t work for the taller ones you need.

Etsy.com. Lots of custom options for any budget, and you'd be supporting a small business.

PB curtain in dining and living rooms

Check out Smith & Noble or the Shade Store. Something plain and simple would be the least costly. But be prepared to spend a fair amount of money. Fabric yardage is not inexpensive and that's even before the cost of the labor to fabricate and install.

I agree with Vermont Country Store (RIP Country Curtains) and Pottery Barn. Both have good quality, basic panels, often lined, at affordable prices. And you can often score sales at Pottery Barn for a further discount.

I’ve used Ikea Ritva linen like drapes and am extremely happy with them, especially for the price. They are very long and for more fullness when needed, I just doubled up. Below is an article you may find really helpful. https://kelleynan.com/favorite-white-budget-friendly-curtains/

I would save your money on things that will be more impactful, as I’m sure there will be a ton of things you will want to do.

Thank you everyone so much! I will go to the house today and take pictures! Then I’ll
post. I really don’t know much other than drapes look pretty. Lol. Most of what I read say that they need to “pool” on the floor at least 1-2 inches and need to be hung half way between the top of the window and the ceiling? Idk if that’s even correct. My husband did say that he is open to plantation shutters in the dining room (I know that is more costly) but maybe a better investment...idk? But I feel that may be less dressy in the dining? I just don’t know.

Living room windows span about 20’. Not sure how to even find a rod that long. Just a tad overwhelmed to be honest.

So pictures I will take and post. Y’all are awesome!!

@robeau3 I’ve attached a great article on best ways to hang curtains. I think a slight float or a “kiss” is most common these days. Pooling the curtains on the floor is a more romantic look usually best used in bedrooms or nurseries (though of course there are exceptions in the right house with the right decor).

https://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/hanging-curtains-all-wrong

Don't pool if you have pets!

I have yet to have anything but positive results with custom treatments from Etsy.

They can pool, if you like the look (and can afford the extra fabric lol), or they can just "kiss" the floor.

Definitely post pics for better help.

If you have any interest in learning how to sew, curtains are the perfect things to start on! You can get a basic machine for $100. I had zero experience when I made curtains for our last house, where I needed a variety of custom lengths and widths. Youtube tutorials FTW. Super easy and fun, and saves a TON of money. I’m currently whipping up some panels for our new build (10 ft ceilings) and so far I’ve spent $200 for nice linen-blend fabric that will make 10 panels!

I’m not a fan of pooling, so I hang mine <1” above floor. Our PB blackout drapes in the LR are 108” H and 100” W. They stay open the majority of the time, but it’s nice to have the option of closing.

We also have plantation shutters on various windows in our home. These were purchased from Lowe’s and are custom. For both stores, I’ve been able to get them when on sale.

Don't forget that when you're figuring out the length to add in the rod, and the rings (if applicable), and how high it will be hung..

Here's some good information on hanging curtains properly from two of my favorite interior designer blogs,

Also, before you do anything about window coverings, think about what you need window coverings for in each room --

privacy

glare/light

decoration

all of the above

some of the above

none of the above

And also think about your style and the house's style, because that will also affect which type of window covering you choose.

Yes, post pictures. Also start ‘collecting’ looks that you like. Is your lifestyle formal or casual? How much privacy do you need? There are lots of different window dressing options, drapes may not be the answer for every room.

Ok here are some photos. I have kids bedrooms, laundry room, etc. but not extremely worried about those as I can find curtains for those rooms. These are the main rooms I need to figure out what to do. I have posted living, foyer (front doors my husband wants to find some kind of covering for at night), dining, and master bedroom.

Can’t wait to hear the suggestions!!!

You have such lovely moldings on your windows for some of them I might only do an inside mount Roman shade or in some cases maybe even nothing at all if privacy is not an issue! Depends on the room and furnishings, and whether the windows look like they need something or not.

LOVE your home--you have a great blank canvas to work with.

Here are some inspiration photos:

Now that I see your lovely 4 over 4 windows and the moldings, I would suggest simple semi-sheer or lightly patterned cafe curtains for them and for the front door, hung at the half-way mark. Doesn't look like you have room for a stack back of drapes at the quad windows, and you can't really mount a rod to that crown above it. Inside mounted roman shades (or other style) would probably be your best bet there.

High end consignment stores in our area carry wonderful pre-owned custom drapes that would have cost a fortune to have made. Do you have a store like that near you?

Love the molding/trim on top of the windows. Inset woven blinds would be lovely- can line with black out if needed

I have used Smith and Noble with great success. Their designer comes to the home, does all the measurements (good to have them take responsibility for that) and you can decide what style, materials you wasn’t, privacy level etc. I love their wide variety of solar shade materials. It doesn’t look like you need much privacy but you can decide. I usually but my dollars in front windows and most used rooms. The rest I find lower cost solutions. Watch for their sales and you can save a lot of money.

Beautiful home robeau. Keep it simple, no heavy drapes, and no pooling. The examples posted above are an excellent start.

Fullness is key to making them look expensive. I don’t care for pooling. Just skimming above is my preference. I’ve used Ikea sheer linen panels for primary and beach home. Had them professionally hemmed, starched and pressed so they maintained their body. Makes for a casual yet dressy look that provides light privacy if closed. I never close mine.

My Ikea Ritva linen look curtains from a previous home. I loved them and was sorry that we could not take them with us when we moved.

I plan to use them again in my new home. I "kissed" the floor. :)

Thank you everyone for the great pictures and advice! I have an awesome starting point. I am going through each picture, website, and link with advice and putting what I need together. I thought that I "needed" to pool the curtains, but I see now that the thing to do is "kiss" the floor. So glad that I know! Thank you for your help! What do you think as far as color?? Stay safe with white? Go with a silver or medium grey? A little frightened to pick a pattern.

Since your home has rustic qualities, a nice natural linen would be perfect and behind them, natural woven roman shades. You could dress up ones you want special attention for perhaps a dining room?

Is that your home, nhb22? It's lovely!

I agree with Flo, natural or white linen would work very well. I would avoid grey curtains, as I would avoid grey sheets and towels--they can look dirty and old.

To make the panels look more professional, make sure you get a quality curtain rod and brackets. I'd avoid the telescoping rods, they can sag in the middle after a while.

Thank you! Yes, that was my M bedroom. We have now moved into a rental home while building.

I had just changed the bedding and put up the curtains (after 14 years, the room needed a change.) The rug and bench don't go well with the new bedding. In the new house, I will recover the bench, along with two club chairs, and I have a neutral sea grass type rug (from the old living room) that will go in the M bedroom. I will once again use the Ikea curtains. I have my new bed assemble packed away in a box so it will still be fresh in the new house. Using the old bedding now. :)

Lovely home. I agree with having Smith and Noble come out. They offer free design advice and bring all their samples, and give great ideas. Also it isn’t as much as you would think. Worth a phone call!
