One of my design dilemmas was how to "treat" my windows when I have such a large area to cover (113" from floor to the bottom of the crown molding). At first I thought custom was the only way to go. However, there is a work around. Even though I wanted a floor to ceiling look (which would require 113" panels) I could still achieve that look with 108" panels and here's how:
If I mounted the rod 2" below the bottom of the crown molding, the disparity from the "ceiling" was barely noticeable. Secondly, I used large rings with drapery hooks instead of the rod pocket on the panel. I didn't use the clips that come with the rings and pinned the hooks as close to the top as I could without being able to see them when they were hung. The rings and rods came from Lowe's Home Improvement and were approximately 3" in length.
The overall look is a floor to ceiling panel. Who said math wouldn't come in handy in real life??
