Curtain/Drape Questions..

We just hung drapes in our master bedroom... because we have large molding around our window and crown molding, we don't have a lot of space for the curtain rod and we also did a double rod with sheers and lined drapes.

ANYWAY, I think the drapes are too short now-- but if we hung the rod lower, the rod would look weird because of all the molding.... We have 84" panels, and I am afraid if we went for the 96" it would be too long... I like the look of them pooling, but worried that it would be messy looking in a bedroom... I think I'll keep the sheers at 84" though..

We also are going to use holdbacks which would help some of the length issue if we got the 96"... I think we should install those like right above the chair rail-- is there a standard height for them? Trying to find pics and I can't find any...

Can you post pics of what it looks like now? I'm a big fan of curtains floor length or even a bit longer. If you get the 96 length and they are too long you can get that hem tape which you can use to make them shorter without actually doing any sewing.

Re: Curtain/Drape Questions..

thanks-- we just decided we need the 96", especially with the pull backs... The sheers I am going to keep the same length though because it would be majorly bulky if both were pooling... Now I gotta get back to PB and wrap everything up we already hung. So annoying!
