I almost always use pre-made drapery panels with tie backs to quickly dress up a window without blowing the budget. It's a great idea to hang drapes as high as possible to make the ceiling look higher. But, what do you do when you can't buy pre-made drapery panels that are long enough?
Buy fabric and have someone sew a coordinated border onto the bottom of the pre-made panels.
This is such a simple sewing project, you can probably get a dry cleaner to do it for you.
I've also been known to use two-sided tape in a pinch!
If you've already got exceptionally high ceilings, your drapery rod can be hung about half way been the top of the trim and the ceiling.
