The age-old curtain question:
How long should they actually be?
Too short, and they feel accidental.
Too long, and you wonder if you missed the mark.
And somehow, store-bought panels never quite look finished.
Here’s the truth: curtain length isn’t about rules — it’s about intention.
• Sill-length or shorter
Best for busy spaces like kitchens, baths, and laundry rooms.
Clean, practical, and out of the splash zone.
• Floor-length
The most popular choice for a reason.
Timeless, tailored, and easy to live with in living rooms and bedrooms.
• Floor-to-ceiling
A designer favorite.
Hanging panels higher than the window frame visually lengthens walls and elevates the entire room.
• Breaking at the floor
Soft, relaxed, and romantic.
Perfect when you want a space to feel effortless rather than formal.
• Pooling on the floor
Dramatic and luxurious.
Best when done intentionally — and with guidance.
The right length doesn’t just finish a window.
It finishes the room.
At Strickland’s Home, we help you choose curtain lengths based on how you live, the style you love, and the feeling you want your space to have — not guesswork.
