What is the Correct Curtain Length for my Windows?
Curtains and draperies are an all-time classical choice for window coverings. They can transform a home instantly with luxurious styles and patterns. One of the main differences between curtains and drapes is their lengths. Here, our team at Classic Window Shades will discuss the various styles and lengths and introduce you to our collection of Carol Fabrics Custom Drapes by Hunter Douglas.
Curtain Lengths by Style
Floor-to-Ceiling Length
Floor-to-ceiling length will add height to your windows as it will cause the eye to move upward, making your room seem more spacious and open. Homeowners should hang the curtains at the crux of the ceiling so they are long enough to just slightly kiss the floor.
Puddle Length
Puddle length is an excellent way to achieve some aesthetic drama. When hanging this style of curtain, hang them either at the ceiling or a few inches above the window frame and are long enough for several inches of the fabric to pool on the floor.
Sill Length
Commonly used in kitchens, sill length is ideal for a casual look or in situations where a piece of furniture is right below the window. The curtains sit at the top of the frame and drop to rest right at the edge of the sill.
Café Length
Café length is another style perfectly suited for a breakfast nook. The curtains typically cover the bottom portion of the window, leaving either one-third or two-thirds of the upper window open. This allows for light to enter while still maintaining privacy for meals.
Finding Your Perfect Length with Carol Fabrics™ Custom Drapes
Carol Fabrics™ Custom Drapes are full-functioning drapes and stationary side panels. They are perfect on their own or for layering with other window treatments. These drapes can create a flowing elegance to an understated simplified look, depending on your taste and style. You can select from a variety of style options: pleated, non-pleated, and Ripplefold™.
Offered in over 4000 different fabric and color choices, they will transform any room in your home with unique aesthetic beauty. For further enhancement, select premium custom hardware in a variety of brilliant finishes. Add decorative trim such as cords, tapes, and fringes in an array of colors for a touch of elegance. With our fabric by the yard, you can coordinate your entire look with matching pillows and upholstery. We can create custom fabric tiebacks for gathering the drapes for a sophisticated style.
Not only are Carol Fabrics™ Custom Drapes timelessly classic, but they are also incredibly functional. With a brushed flannel-tailored liner, you can add room-darkening and insulating properties. For superior operating control, you can opt for three different systems to suit your desired preference.
