Angled high ceiling curtain solutions


We have received many questions on the curtain design for angled window/ceiling. For regular sized windows, the curtain design can be creative. However, the angled ceiling is tricky to work with due to the uneven curtain height and gravity. 

We have recently completed a project in Marina Del Rey, California with an angled high ceiling and helped our client minimize morning sunlight and light glare.

Here is how we designed angled curtains that fit the two parallel angled floor to ceiling windows. 

  • For the curtain mobility

Considering the ceiling height is more than 11', hand-drawn curtains are not practical. We came up with two solutions, an electrically motorized track orstationery curtains. Since an electrician will need to be involved for the motorized track and it will be a larger project than our client had planned, we decided on a pair of stationary panels. The stationary panels create flowy curves when being held back for this loft space. 
  • For the curtains heading style

Grommet or rod pocket styles are out of the picture because they couldn't stay in place when curtains are closed. Ripple fold style can work but we figured the French pleat style matches the wood-paneled ceiling much better. The end carriers on both ends help secure the curtain tops in place. The French pleat headers also hide the curtain track effortlessly.

  • For the curtain height and holdbacks

We agree on the puddling look for a relaxed lofty feel. The holdbacks are installed slightly higher than our standing height to let more lights in when curtains are open.

Ordered drapes and roman shade for our bedroom. The drapes were 208" wide and 96" tall - with a blackout backing. They look fantastic - the sewing and workmanship are top notch. Each piece is a continuous panel - not multiple panels sewn together. Beautiful fabric also. The Roman shade is just as nicely made. When I was a little unsure of the stack back and other rod questions I texted Loft and they got back to me within minutes. Answered any question and made sure my measurements were good. Great experience overall - plus saved almost 1/2 of what a local designer was proposing. Don't hesitate if you want excellent quality drapes/shades along with great support.
