Should Curtains Touch the Floor?
When it comes to your home décor, custom curtains and drapes can dramatically accentuate the beauty of any room in your home, especially when layered with your existing window treatments. They add texture, color, and a sense of comfort that transforms a plain Jane living space into a cozy haven.
At Cindy's & Bolliger Window Fashions, we know how essential it is for you to get the details right. As a family-owned and operated Hunter Douglas window treatment dealer with locations in Gresham and Portland, Oregon, one of our goals is to help you address those tiny but significant details, like should curtains touch the floor?
How Long Is Too Long: That Is the Question
Traditionally, the answer had been yes, curtains and drapes should brush the floor. This advice dates back to times when drafty homes needed every measure possible to keep the chill out, with floor-length curtains serving as insulation. Fast forward to today, the tradition continues, but now for aesthetics rather than utility.
However, considering the different styles and needs of modern homes, the answer isn't strictly a yes or no. The decision largely depends on your personal taste, the function of the room, and the vibe you want to create. But to help you decide, let's explore the three classic hem styles:
- Hover: The first rule of thumb is the hover. This design is where curtains just touch the floor or hover half an inch above it. The Hover gives a clean, modern vibe fitting for high traffic areas like doors and children's rooms because they minimize dirt and dust contact.
- Graze: The second is the graze, where curtains lightly touch the floor, like someone brushing their fingertips across a surface. This look complements chic, contemporary room decor.
- Puddle: Finally, we have the puddle, where the drape pools onto the floor by two or three inches. It creates a romantic, luxurious look reminiscent of vintage manors or modern-day penthouses.
