This style has a romantic yet feminine vibe to it.

Romaitc pudldes on the floor curtains. This is by far the most dramatic of all the ways to hang curtains and the one that is the most tedious to keep clean. Depending on the fabric room and arrangement this look can make a space feel more casual or formal. This is the classic puddle length. Often the lining stops at the floor to allow the puddle to fan softly.

Measure the distance from the curtain attachment point to the floor. Silk curtains are classic and traditional. If privacy is an issue have them lined. If you are using a rod pocket or tab curtain the attachment point is the top of the curtain rod.

Silk curtains have a sheer quality and allow some light to pass through. Minimal puddle drapes puddle or gather slightly on the floor. Overly long curtains were first used to insulate windows during winter but later were a sign of wealth and excess. You just need to have some super accurate measurements to accomplish this style.

Drapes that are just a hair longer than the floor and have a casual bend are called break length. The more the puddle the more the fabric can fan out onto the floor. Take the measurement from the bottom of the drapery rings to the floor and add 1 3 to create this look. Pooled curtains tend to get a bad rap for being high maintenance but in this day and age you can find something with a better stain resistant quality that makes for easier cleaning.

If a more dramatic puddle is the desired effect the full lining is left in place and the puddle is extended to 18 or more inches. Best suited to period decor rooms. Beautifully tailored looking drapes with a minimal puddle. They add a sense of formality to a room particularly if they are pleated and puddle on the floor.

Just like the slight float your curtains will barely touch the floor. Cotton is the most versatile curtain fabric and one of the easiest to clean.
