Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Apr 04, 2012 7:17 pm I have short 1200 drop windows in 2 bedrooms with timber blinds. I am thinking of putting a pelmet over the top but also maybe some curtains too. What do you think of short curtains that will fall just below the window? I will be making them myself and dont see the need to buy extra fabric to go to the floor when there is no glass there, but I am wondering if they would look silly and half mast.

Long curtains give a room a lot more vertical dimension, essentially making the ceiling look higher - which is always a good thing. *Perhaps* the only exception to this might be to have a day bed or chaise lounge under the window - but even then, I think I'd still go for full length curtains What curtain lengh long to floor or short? 4Apr 05, 2012 12:43 am I think floor length looks more formal, professional, and sleek. Shorter looks "summery", casual, and fun. These are impressions gleaned from my visual imagination. I also imagine the long curtains hang better and are made with heavier, better quality material than the short curtains. In any case, I agree with Michelle. But then, she is the expert on these matters!! Re: What curtain lengh long to floor or short? 6Apr 05, 2012 12:39 pm Thanks guys I will go with your opinions. If anything I will make a pelmet out of left over quilted bed skirt fabric or out of the leftover microfibre fabric from the headboard I made, and if I feel I still want curtains I will make them down to the floor Know where your going in life............... you may already be there CDC Housing Code 3 When to apply Floor Area external face of wall vs Gross Floor Area internal face of wall.
