Residential Curtain Installation — Takoradi
Full-height curtains for a family living room, specified for strong afternoon light.
Project details
01 Design Concept
Height, and nothing competing with it.
The brief was a living room that felt calmer. The window was the best feature in the room and the largest source of the problem: unshaded afternoon sun made half the seating unusable.
Approach
We took the treatment to full height rather than stopping at the window head, so the eye reads one continuous vertical line from ceiling to floor. A concealed track keeps the hardware out of the composition. The stack was planned to sit clear of the glass so the room keeps its daylight when the curtains are open.
Product selections
- Heavier-weight curtain fabric in a warm neutral, chosen to hold a fold
- Blackout lining on the main pair to cut heat gain and afternoon glare
- Sheer inner layer on a second track for daytime privacy
- Concealed ceiling-fixed track, sized for the finished curtain weight
- Weighted hems, set to just clear the finished floor
Installation notes
Ceiling fixings were set into the slab rather than the plasterboard, brackets spaced to carry the weight of a lined pair, and the run levelled across the full width before the curtains were hung and dressed.

04 Final Result
A room that works all afternoon.
Closing the sheer alone takes the edge off the glare and keeps the room usable through the hottest part of the day. Closing the lined pair blocks the light completely for film evenings. The full-height line makes the ceiling read higher than it did before.
