Choose the right length
Choosing the right length of your curtains is important to get the right feeling in the room.
Curtains that are too short will look strange, while curtains that are too long and touch too much on the floor will look sloppy, and you risk tripping over them.
Curtains from ceiling
Made-to-measure curtains that can be installed all the way from ceiling to floor give a luxurious hotel feeling and a warmth that spreads in the room.
In addition, it will feel like the ceiling height is higher. Feel free to choose wider curtains that can hang along the entire wall for a more cozy feeling.
How long curtains should be when they are to hang from ceiling to floor depends on the ceiling height of the room and whether you have the opportunity to mount the curtain rail directly on the ceiling.
Many people prefer long curtains that hang all the way from the ceiling to the floor because this gives a luxurious hotel feeling.
Curtains from the wall
Sometimes it is not possible to attach a curtain rail to the ceiling.
Our best tip is then to find a natural line as high up on the wall as possible, such as a molding or stucco, and mount the curtain rail there.
If you place the curtains too close to the window, there is a risk that the window will look smaller than it actually is.
Hover
Curtains that hover just above the floor look classy and sophisticated. The advantage of curtains that float a little above the floor is that the curtains stay clean and fresh longer as they do not come into contact with dust and dirt on the floor. It will also give the room a slightly airier feeling and have a very nice case.
Trail
Trailing curtains add extra structure that gives the room a personality. A softer fabric helps them flow nicely on the floor. The important thing here is that it does not become too much. A small trail gives the curtain stability and ensures that the waves will lie nicely. Just keep in mind that trailing curtains require a bit more maintenance and tend to collect dust.
