Extra long curtains

Extra long curtains are often hard to find if you are not going the custom route.  Our custom curtain rods can be as long as customers need to span those large spaces.

Pottery Barn
 has some curtains that are 108" and even 124" long.  These dupioni silk pole pocket drapes are really nice.

JC Penney also has some long panels in various colors and patterns.  These are blackout energy savers.

Depending on their inventory, Overstock often has extra long panels.  IKEA carries some very reasonably priced longer curtains.

Crate & Barrel has these super cute curtains in a 108" length.

How many rings do I need for my curtain rod?

We are often asked how many curtain rod rings should go on a curtain rod.  And, of course, the answer is...it depends.  But a good average number is 4 rings per foot of your curtains.  So, if you have curtains that are 48" wide, you would need 12 rings.

It does depend on the style of curtain you have and what look you're going for.  But if you order a ring for every 4", you should be safe.
