Let me start with the number that matters: 108 inches. That’s where ready-made curtains run out and custom extra-long takes over. If your ceiling sits past 9 feet, every off-the-shelf 96″ panel will float a foot above your baseboard, and that gap is what makes a room look unfinished no matter how nice the drape is.
If it were my own loft, the order I’d shortlist starts with the Liz Loft Curtain Extra Long Pleated from Two Pages. It’s the only extra-long SKU in the lineup that quotes up to 300″ of length on a single seamless panel, the body is a heavyweight 350 gsm linen blend, and it lands around $59.99 base per panel. Read on for four alternatives mapped to the rooms where Liz Loft isn’t the right call (bedroom drama, soft nursery sheers, modern minimalist offices, and full-luxury master suites). If you want the full universe of options first (sheers, blackouts, custom drops past 144″, motorization tracks), start in our extra-long curtain hub before picking a winner here.

If you trust the matrix and your space is a standard loft or open-plan living room, Liz Loft is the safe first order. Keep reading if your room is a low-light master bedroom, a nursery, a home office, or a designer-grade master suite where one of the other four becomes the better fit.
What Makes a Curtain “Extra-Long” (and What Trips Buyers Up)
Sounds like marketing fluff. Here’s the math that makes it real. Standard ready-made curtains stop at 96″ in most stores and reach 108″ only in a handful of premium ranges. An 11-foot ceiling with the rod placed close to the ceiling (the loft look) needs a panel near 132″ to break at the floor. A 12-foot cathedral ceiling needs 144″ or more.
The mistakes I see repeatedly: ordering 96″ panels for an 11-ft room and “hoping the eye won’t notice”, or buying two 84″ panels and stacking the hems with sewing tape. Both options look temporary forever. The other mistake is ordering panels for a room across two different batches, which can produce visible dye-lot drift on collections with 30+ colors.
Extra-Long Curtain Buying Guide
The full primer on drop math, header choice, lining decisions, and lead time before you configure.
If you want to test a drop before committing, the Two Pages custom curtain calculator takes your rod height and floor-to-rod measurement and returns the exact panel length to order. Use it before you buy a swatch booklet, because the panel length conversation is independent of which color and material you choose.
What to Look For in Extra-Long Custom Panels
Four specs matter past 108″. The rest is decoration.
Drape Weight (the spec that defines whether it hangs or floats)
Fabric weight in gsm (grams per square meter) is the single most predictive spec at extra-long drops. A 110 gsm sheer at 132″ can feel airy and beautiful in a nursery, but the same 110 gsm hanging at 144″ in a windy stairwell will billow every time the HVAC kicks on. A 350 gsm linen blend like Liz Loft anchors itself and stops moving the second the air settles.
The rule of thumb: under 150 gsm reads as a sheer, 200-280 gsm reads as a medium drape, 300+ gsm reads as a heavyweight that holds its pleat lines crisply at any drop. Past 132″ of length, the heavyweight tier is where the panel actually starts looking custom rather than improvised.
Lining Decision (the cost lever most buyers underrate)
The liner is where extra-long orders quietly double in price, and it deserves a real conversation before you click configure. Two Pages offers 6 liner tiers from unlined to a 200 gsm premium blackout. For a master bedroom past 120″, the 150 gsm 2-pass blackout (+$80/panel) is usually worth every dollar; for a loft living room, unlined keeps the linen-blend body translucent and adds nothing to the bill.
The 6 Liner Options on Two Pages (and What They Do at Extra-Long Drops)
Unlined
Lightest, softest sway. Adds no cost. Best for sheer Flynn and any room where you want light through the body.
Light liner (90 gsm)
+$30/panel. ~40% light reduction, body feels weightier. Good middle ground.
Thermal (90 gsm)
+$50/panel. ~60% light, ~25% heat insulation. Useful on north-facing 12-ft windows.
Blackout (150 gsm 2-pass)
+$80/panel. ~100% light block. Best for Birkin or Liz Loft in master bedroom.
Premium blackout (200 gsm)
+$110/panel. Same 100% light, fuller hand, structures the bottom hem on 144″+ drops.
Room-darkening (mid)
+$60/panel. ~85% block. Compromise for nurseries or guest rooms.
Material Safety (OEKO-TEX, Fade Resistance)
If you have kids, pets, or sensitivities, the certification you want on the spec sheet is OEKO-TEX Standard 100, which screens the finished fabric against a list of harmful substances and approves it for prolonged skin contact. The base fabrics on Liz Loft, Kyla and Jawara meet that bar; Birkin velvet and Flynn sheer follow Two Pages’ general supply-chain standards.
Color (the decision that wrecks 20% of orders)
Color regret is the single most common reason owners return extra-long panels, and the cause is almost always ordering from a screen rather than holding the swatch in your room’s actual evening light. A warm white reads creamy under tungsten bulbs and chalky under cool LEDs. A “midnight blue” in the catalog can read full black at dusk and rich navy at noon.
Order the $3.99 booklet first. It’s the cheapest insurance you’ll buy this year, and it eliminates the most expensive mistake a $400-800 panel order can produce.

Our 5 Picks (By Room)
1. Best Overall for Loft & Living : Liz Loft Curtain Extra Long Pleated
If it were my room, this is where I’d start. The Liz Loft is the only Two Pages extra-long SKU that quotes up to 300″ of length on a single seamless body, which means the same panel that dresses a 9-ft living room can dress a 14-ft cathedral ceiling without seam matching or sewing-tape tricks. The 350 gsm linen blend hangs straight at any drop in the catalog, and the pre-sewn pinch pleat masks the small inevitabilities of rod alignment on a long span.
The other reason it anchors the list: 30+ colors covering nearly every warm-neutral palette plus deep accents (chocolate, plum, burgundy), and an entry price of $59.99 per panel base. A standard living-room window configures around $240 for a pair at 108″ length. Our full Liz Loft Extra Long review walks through the 350 gsm body in detail, the pleat tightness owners report, and the few colors where dye-lot drift shows up across separate orders.
✅ Choose Liz Loft if…
- Your ceiling sits at 10 to 14 ft and you need a single-panel solution past 132″
- You want the warm linen-look without paying full 100% linen prices
- You’re hesitant about color and want the broadest palette in the top 5
❌ Skip Liz Loft if…
- You’re after true blackout unlined (go Birkin Velvet)
- You’re sensitive to synthetic fibers and want 100% natural (go Jawara Linen)
- Your room needs soft filtered light, not anchored heavyweight (go Flynn Sheer)
Editor’s Pick · Best Overall
Liz Loft Curtain Extra Long Pleated
from $59.99/panel base, up to 300″ length, 30+ colors.
2. Best for Bedroom Drama : Birkin Extra Long Velvet Curtain Pleated
Picture the moment you draw the curtain at 7am and the master bedroom stays dark another hour. That’s the Birkin Extra Long Velvet without a liner. The 100% velvet body absorbs light rather than transmitting it, so the unlined panel already approximates a blackout in most rooms. Add the 150 gsm 2-pass blackout liner if you want full sensory pitch-dark for shift workers or sun-direct east-facing windows.
Past the function, the visual case is the velvet itself. The matte (not glossy) sheen reads expensive at every angle, the colors range from warm cashmere to deep midnight blue, and the heavy drape weight produces the kind of full pleat shadow that ready-made polyester never approximates. Our Birkin Extra Long Velvet review details the matte sheen versus glossy, the weight buyers report on long rods, and the colors that read truest in low light.
Pick #2 · Bedroom Drama
Birkin Extra Long Velvet Curtain Pleated
from $89/panel base, max 144″ length, 40+ velvet colors.
3. Best Sheer for Nursery & Soft Light : Flynn Lightweight Extra Long Sheer
For a nursery, a dressing area in mezzanine, or any open-plan room that needs to soften the daylight without killing it, the Flynn Lightweight Sheer is the cleanest answer in the catalog. The ~110 gsm sheer body lets 60-70% of the light flux through while blurring vis-à-vis and washing the wall in a soft glow. That diffused light reads beautifully on baby skin and on a Saturday-morning living room.
What makes Flynn unusual is the pinch-pleat header on a true sheer. Most sheers in the extra-long category come with rod-pocket or grommet headers because pleating a 110 gsm fabric properly is hard to engineer. Flynn pulls it off and the result is a sheer that hangs straight at 120″+ without the wavy bunching that cheap sheers get past 96″.
Pick #3 · Nursery & Soft Light
Flynn Lightweight Extra Long Sheer
from $49/panel base, max 132″ length, neutral palette.
4. Best for Home Office & Modern Minimalist : Kyla Extra Long Linen Ceiling-to-Floor
Kyla is the compromise pick I keep recommending to clients who want the linen aesthetic without the linen budget. The faux-linen polyester body reads as 100% natural from across a room, the pinch pleat is impeccable, and the ~220 gsm hand sits rigid enough to hold its line without crossing into cardboard territory. For a home office with a sliding door or a minimalist living room going for japandi-light, Kyla is the credible neutral base at the lowest price in the top 5.
The max drop is 132″, which covers nearly every 11-ft ceiling and most loft-style baies coulissantes. The color range hits 20+ neutrals with a few warmer accents (kiwi, burgundy, mustard yellow) for design-forward rooms.

Our deep dive on faux-linen body, color accuracy across 20 variants, and where Kyla beats real linen for home offices.
Pick #4 · Home Office & Modern
Kyla Extra Long Linen Ceiling-to-Floor
from $49.99/panel base, max 132″ length, 20+ colors.
5. Best Luxury Master Suite / 100% Natural : Jawara Luxury Extra Long Floor-to-Ceiling Linen
Jawara is the only 100% natural fiber pick in the top 5. The body is 70% linen + 30% cotton with a visible natural weave that patines elegantly with each wash, the kind of drape designers specify when the room itself is the luxury. For a master suite with a sea view, a designer loft, or any project where the bone-colored linen is the signature, Jawara is the most credible call in the Two Pages catalog.
Honest caveat: most Jawara variants currently show low or out of stock on the configurator, which rotates frequently. If your favorite color is unavailable, order the $3.99 booklet first, then re-check stock the following week before committing to a backorder. The VIP22 promo code (22% off for luxury and trade orders) is a useful alternative to JULY for this collection.
Pick #5 · Master Suite Luxury
Jawara Luxury Extra Long Linen Cotton
from $79.99/panel base, max 144″ length, 23 natural-weave colors. Code VIP22 for 22% off.
Best Curtains for Tall Windows
If your issue is window height (12 ft cathedral, two-story foyer) rather than ceiling-to-floor extra length, see our tall-windows roundup.
Compare All 5: Criteria Matrix
If you want one screen that tells you everything, here it is. Each pick scored 1 to 5 across the five criteria that determine whether the curtain holds up at extra-long drops.
Criteria Matrix: Each Pick Scored 1-5
| Pick | Drape Weight | Light Block (unlined) | Construction | Color Range | Configured Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liz Loft | 5/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 | 5/5 | 5/5 |
| Birkin Velvet | 5/5 | 5/5 | 5/5 | 5/5 | 3/5 |
| Flynn Sheer | 2/5 | 1/5 (intentional) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 5/5 |
| Kyla Faux-Linen | 3/5 | 2/5 | 4/5 | 4/5 | 5/5 |
| Jawara Luxury Linen | 4/5 | 3/5 | 5/5 | 5/5 | 3/5 (stock often low) |
Scoring blends Two Pages spec sheet, fiber drape physics, and verified buyer feedback patterns across 100+ Trustpilot and Judge.me reviews.
What the matrix tells you in one read: Liz Loft and Birkin tie at the top across drape weight, with Birkin pulling ahead on unlined light block and Liz Loft on color breadth and value. Flynn intentionally scores low on light block (it’s a sheer, that’s the point). Kyla offers the cheapest credible faux-linen path. Jawara wins on construction quality, with stock as the only real obstacle.
Still circling? Most 11-12 ft ceilings end here.
Liz Loft Extra Long, the versatile 350 gsm default
Heavy enough to anchor a loft window, neutral enough to fit any palette, and the only top-5 pick that quotes up to 300″ of length on the same SKU.
How to Measure for Extra-Long (Without Re-Measuring Twice)
I get it, measuring 12 feet on a ladder is nobody’s idea of fun. Two practical rules cut the re-measure rate to near zero. First, measure from your rod placement (not the window casing) down to your target hem position. For the loft look, that means rod 1-2″ below ceiling; for the standard look, 4-6″ above the window frame.
📏 Pro Tip: For extra-long, measure from rod placement (usually 4-6″ above the window casing, 1-2″ below ceiling for the loft look) down to 1/2″ off the floor for a clean break, or 2-6″ puddle for soft luxury. Add 1″ if you’re between sizes; the hem can be turned up faster than added down.
Second, pick your hem aesthetic before you order: a clean break (1/2″ off the floor) reads modern and minimalist; a 2-4″ break (panel touches floor and gently folds) reads transitional; a 6″+ puddle reads romantic and traditional. The choice changes your order length by up to 8 inches, so decide before you click configure.
Two Pages Pricing by Configuration & Promo Codes
Two Pages prices custom curtains on a configurator that adjusts for width, length, and lining choice. The base panel price you see on the product page is the minimum, not the final. Expect a real living-room window pair to land between $240 and $520 depending on drop length and whether you add a liner.

Configured from Two Pages cart simulation, June 2026. Apply code JULY for 20% off; free shipping kicks in past $300.
Two Pages currently runs JULY for 20% off sitewide (the default), VIP22 for 22% off on luxury and trade orders (Jawara, Birkin), and WOVEN for 20% off bamboo. Free shipping triggers past $300, which most extra-long orders clear easily. The brand carries Trustpilot 4.5/5 across 5,000+ owner reviews, which is the credibility floor I’d want before sending $400-800 to any custom curtain supplier.
⚠️ Two real watch-outs for extra-long orders: (1) Dye lots can drift slightly across batches on 30+ color collections; order all panels for one room in one PO to keep the same lot. (2) Jawara stock is rotational; if a color shows “out”, order a swatch booklet first and re-check the configurator the following week before committing to backorder.
✅ Extra-long custom panels are right if…
- Your ceiling sits past 9 ft and ready-made 96″ panels float above the floor
- You want the same panel to read consistently from rod to baseboard (no visible seam)
- You’re prepared for the $240-$600/window bracket including a basic liner
❌ Extra-long custom is wrong if…
- Your ceilings are standard 8-9 ft (ready-made 96″-108″ suffices, see Liz Linen Standard)
- You move every 2-3 years and won’t recoup the custom investment
- You need motorized track integration first (different SKU family, ask design consult)

FAQ
What length counts as “extra-long” curtains?
Anything past 108″ (9 ft) per panel. Standard ready-made tops out at 96″, sometimes 108″. Custom extra-long starts at 108″ and runs to 144″ routinely, with the Liz Loft line going up to 300″ for cathedral ceilings and two-story foyers.
Do I need custom curtains for an 11 foot ceiling?
Yes if you want the rod placed near the ceiling (the loft look). A standard 96″ panel will float 12-15″ above the floor in an 11 ft room with rod 6″ below ceiling. A 120″ custom panel covers it cleanly with a small break.
How much do extra-long custom curtains cost on Two Pages?
Two Pages extra-long panels start at $49 (Flynn sheer) and run to $89 (Birkin velvet) per panel base. A standard high-ceiling living room window (50″W × 108″L, 2 panels) configures around $240. A full loft window at 100″W × 144″L runs about $520 unlined. Code JULY for 20% off; free shipping past $300.
What’s the heaviest extra-long curtain Two Pages sells?
Birkin Extra Long Velvet is the visually heaviest (velvet equivalent ~520 gsm of perceived drape). Liz Loft at 350 gsm is the heaviest woven linen-blend. For pure weight on the rod, expect 4-7 lbs per 120″ panel depending on width and lining.
Can I get extra-long curtains in linen, not faux-linen?
Yes. The Jawara Luxury line is 70% linen + 30% cotton with a natural weave, max 144″ length. Stock rotates so check the configurator and consider ordering a $3.99 booklet first. For faux-linen at half the price, Kyla covers the same look up to 132″.
Will the panels arrive in matching color?
Yes if you order all panels for one window in a single PO. Across batches, dye lots can drift slightly on collections with 30+ colors (Liz Loft, Birkin). Two Pages flags this on long orders; ordering together is the safe path.
How long do Two Pages extra-long custom curtains take to arrive?
In-stock variants ship in 3-5 days. Custom configurations (specific width, length, lining) run 10-12 days for production plus 3-5 days shipping. Premium blackout liner adds 1-2 production days.
Are Two Pages extra-long curtains OEKO-TEX certified?
The base fabrics on Liz Loft, Kyla and Jawara collections meet OEKO-TEX Standard 100 testing for harmful substances. Birkin velvet and Flynn sheer follow Two Pages’ general supply-chain standards but check the configurator for batch-specific certification badges.
Final Verdict: Which Pick for Your Room?
Back to where we started: five rooms, five picks. If your room is a loft, living room, or cathedral ceiling, the Liz Loft Extra Long is the safest first order, with the broadest color palette and the only length quote past 144″. If your room is a master bedroom that needs darkness and drama, Birkin Extra Long Velvet does both jobs without a liner. For a nursery or any soft-light room, Flynn Sheer holds its pinch pleats at 120″+ where cheap sheers collapse.
For a home office or minimalist living room, Kyla Faux-Linen delivers the linen look at the lowest price. For a master suite or luxury project where natural fiber matters, Jawara is the only 100% linen-cotton pick in the top 5; just check stock first. All five run through the same Two Pages configurator with code JULY (or VIP22 for Jawara) and free shipping past $300.
