Another Window Treatment Question -- 1 drapery rod or 2?

[Anonymous]

I have two windows in my family room that are each 32 x 64. There is about a 39 inch space between the windows. The panels I want to get (from West Elm) are 48 inches wide. So I know that I need 4 panels. Do I get two smaller rods or one large rod that spans the whole space? TIA.

For windows of that scale, and in that setting, we would normally recommend that you go with two rods. Don't skimp on the diameter of the rod, for a more high-end look. The width of the panels you are using is appropriate for the width of your windows, so you are in good shape there. Install the rod outside the frame of the window to allow the panels to stack partly outside the frame. Good luck!
