Curtain length?

cosnowbaby

We've decided on these curtains from Pottery Barn https://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/dot-blackout-panel/?pkey=bwindow-panels

My question is should I order the length that will just cover the window or the length that goes down to the floor?  What is everyone's preference?  

 Thanks!

Curtains to the floor!!

To the floor, hung high and wide for sure! Makes the room feel taller as well as the windows wider and brighter. IMO this always looks better. I also prefer my curtains to touch the floor (not slightly above) or even billow on the floor. Check home decor sights for examples. The billowing makes them a little easier to hang since there is no pressure on getting that exact measurement. If you prefer them to hit the floor exactly, iron on hem tape (Heat 'n Bond) can be a lifesaver!

We used curtain clips to hang ours in the nursery just as an added safety precaution. We also made sure not to position the crib within arms reach of them.

Thanks for this tip!  We don't have our crib yet but the way I was thinking about setting up the room would make the curtains within reach of the crib.

Normally, we like curtains to the floor, but the nursery only has one window, and the dresser will be right in front of it.  I think the extra bulk of curtains all the way to the floor stuffed behind the dresser would make them harder to open and close.  So we're going with the 63" length (also from pottery barn... Daisy sheers and green gingham blackout).

Mine go to the floor!

Our window is right above a heater, so we did ours short so we didn't have a fire hazard!

Just something to think about here...

Our floor length curtains are currently tied in a knot (and looking quite ridiculous) because they quickly became one of DS's favorite things to pull up with. If I could do it again, I would not have chosen floor length curtains!

We went with the 63s because I can just picture her hiding and tugging on the curtains later on.
