How to use curtains to hide an off center window
I finally got the curtains up in my master closet! The off-center window has been driving me crazy so I had to get something up — quick! There wasn’t a chance I was going to rip out the window and move it over so I had to get creative and just trick my eyes with some visual “deception”. Here’s how to use curtains to hide an off center window.
How to use curtains to hide an off center window
I installed a long curtain rod above the window that extended over into the area where I needed to pretend the window also extended. So the curtain rod is centered in this space. I hung a curtain panel on each end of the curtain rod, pulled to the ends and only leaving a small bit of window exposed. Open the curtains any wider and you see the side of the window moulding. Depending on how large your window is and how off center it is, you might be able to open your drapes wider.
Even though there’s only a little sliver window showing, my eyes are so much happier now that I’ve tricked them into thinking the window is centered!
Where did I get what?
Chair: TJMaxx for $160
Grey Curtains: Solid Faux Silk Taffeta Platinum 108-inch Curtain Panel
Curtain Rod: Bishop/ Beaded Ball Single 50 to 96-inch Adjustable Curtain Rod Set
You are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I love the chair, but an ottoman will look good too.
I was just impressed that you tricked my eye! If I ever have this problem … I now know what to do 🙂

I absolutely love that chair!
I am absolutely in lust with both the chair and curtains. If you put the cream pair up, I’d love to see how that looks also. Since the grey chair and curtains are so similar in color, maybe the contrast with the cream curtains would be a good option.
The chair is pretty, but with the curtain-centering-trick covering so much of the window my vote is for the round ottoman. I liked the point Fong made about an ottoman being more mobile. Also, more people can sit on an ottoman and clothes can be laid out on it (maybe a bad thing if you’re me).
Great job on the closet!!
