Is there a "right" length for curtains? The long and short of it is, it's up to you. In this edition of Decor Disputes, we take look at curtains, tall and small. What side are you on? So let's start with what's probably the most common length: to the floor. The yellow and white chevron curtains above (from Lonny ), along with these stenciled canvas drop cloth curtains are both modern and classic. The floor-to-ceiling length makes the ceilings seem taller and the room seem very polished, maybe even a bit formal.They may make your room look too formal for your liking. Dust will inevitably collect around the bottoms. Also, children may be more likely to grab them and use them as a climbing rope. Then there's the opposite: short curtains. Of course, café curtains are fairly common where there's a window sill, for example over a sink in a kitchen. Or, in their namesake cafés, where you wouldn't want curtains dragging the floor of such a busy, public place. But what about at home?

It seems like many parents choose shorter curtains for kids' rooms, probably to avoid the whole Tarzan situation, or just to avoid sticky fingers from touching them. On the downside, the shorter curtain length can seem kind of dated. Also, it can cut the visual height of your room in half. The flamestitch curtains from the beginning of the post are by Natty by Design and definitely feel up-to-date in that lovely, white room. These nursery curtains are several inches off the floor, landing at the top of a thick baseboard. These breezy, billowy white café curtains are perfect in this Tybee Island, Georgia cottage. The casual vibe fits the beach lifestyle perfectly. Then there's the most extreme curtain length: puddled. This is a typical French look, and is most successful with high ceilings and, usually, expensive fabric. Typically silks are going to billow the best, being both lightweight and a natural fiber. I was lucky enough to stay in this rental apartment in Paris and I LOVED the drapes and the soaring ceilings.

Obviously, this look adds a lot of glam to even the simplest decor. But, I believe you HAVE to have the right architecture to pull it off. So, what say you? 40 Inch Tires TruckAre you a Shortie?

I don't like making holes in the wall unless it's necessary because they're such eyesores.It's sort of tedious to patch up holes and paint over them, especially if you rent.And who knows what color paint you used, if you ever remember.Thankfully the 3M Command strips made it possible to prevent wall hole making.Aside from hanging posters and hooks as suggested by 3M, I came up with other ideas on how to hang other items such as drapes without poking holes in the wall a couple years ago at a friend's place.

There are 3 various ways that I came up with but this instructable will be showing the customizable way and at the end are the 2 variations.It's just a matter of using hardware and supplies beyond what they're originally intended for.These hanging methods are meant for medium to light curtain or drapes.Being that this was done a while back, the photo documentation isn't as detailed as my recent work.But this project is very easy and straightforward anyways.I don't work for 3M, I just like this product.Hope to save a few walls by publishing this. :DStep 1: SuppliesShow All Items« PreviousNext »View All Steps DownloadOUR APPROACH REAL REVIEWS DRAPING 101 You might want draping on your walls, ceiling & doors.
