Ripplefold curtain on a drapery track

last year

Hi all,


I need some advice on how to design ripplefold curtains. I've attached 3D photos of the wall that's giving me the most trouble, along with photos of the curtain style I like - light beige, polyester-linen mix on a ceiling-mounted drapery track. My questions are:

  1. The design of the windows sadly did not account for curtains, so there is not enough wall width to stack the curtains. It's especially problematic on the leftmost part of the wall, which is only 70 cm (28 inches) wide. With kitchen cabinets taking up about 60 cm (24 inches), that leaves just 10 cm (4 inches) for curtain overhang, which is very tight since the norm is 8-12 inches. Should I opt not to split the curtains and instead stack them all on one side (right side)? This leads me to my next point.
  2. Would it be better to hang two curtain panels per window or just one, stacking it to one side (the right side)? Given the limited wall space, a single, stacked panel might overcrowd the window with fabric, obscuring too much of it. I've included also a photo with measurements in meters to help visualise the size of the windows.

Any ideas on how to solve this the best way?


I could opt for no curtains because we have a valley on the other side and there is only one house on top of the valley, so privacy is not a huge concern (plus, we have motorised shutters, if needed). However, curtains do add an elegant touch to the space, and I'd really want to have them.
