My windows are 34.5″ wide and these are 36″ wide, so I knew that by hanging them OVER \u00a0and ABOVE my windows, instead of buying some that fit inside the window, I would be creating the illusion of a taller window since the top of the window would be covered. So, just make sure what you buy is wider than the window itself. I hung them nearly a foot higher than the window, for reference.<\/p>\n![\"image2\"](\"http:\/\/livingwithlady.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/image2-2.jpg\")

Next, I hung curtains over the bamboo shades to give the illusion of wider windows. And actually, when I get the time, I would like to hang the curtains even higher. My measurements were a little off and I actually can take them up a couple of inches higher. Like they say, measure twice!<\/p>\n
