Curtains: Touching/Sweeping the floor or Hovering
I am trying to decided between choosing 95' or 108' curtains (life changing stuff, lol).
Anyway, 95' would make it hover slightly at the top of the floor board radiator. 108" would sweep the floor by a few inches. I'm undecided which look to go with. Help!

Re: Curtains: Touching/Sweeping the floor or Hovering
mine are touching the floor, and a tad longer than i would like but i would still rather it that way than having a space beteween the floor and the curtain if it would a choice between the two...and unless they are custom, its a choice between the two, i know. 
but you could always raise up the pole or down to make them how you want.. unless of course if you did it too much for you window, it would look silly.

Get them longer and bring them to the dry cleaner and have them hemmed. I have curtains that are a few inches to short and it annoys me to no end!!!

Re: Curtains: Touching/Sweeping the floor or Hovering
We had temporary curtains in the bedroom while I was looking for the right ones. They drapped on the floor. Clumsy me managed to get tangled up in them one evening and I tripped - pulling the curtain rod out of the wall on one side. That was it for me - no way will I get curtains that drag on the floor!

Can't you just raise the rod a little and get the 95"?

We're working with holes that are already drilled. But ultimately we're gonna go with the 95". Our couch is going directly in front of the window so I can deal with a slight hover!
