Curtain heigth
I've had my eye on these paisley drapes from PB, but I'm not sure what size to get.
I like the puddled/pooler look against wood floors, but not sure how it would look against my carpet. Like a nice 1-2" break like in the picture. Any opinions on this?
I've read about how hanging curtains high gives the impression of a taller room. From my carpet to the top of trim measures 84", but the brakets for the curtain rod make it about 86" from the ground. Carpet to ceiling measures 96". Minus a few inches to puddle, and thats still a really high curtain.
Should I order the 84" panels (hang on rings and no puddling) or the 96" panels (hang on the rod and puddle)?

Does anyone have pictures of pooling on carpet? All I see are with wood floors. I don't want them to look sloppy! I don't have pets and won't open and close them BTW.
Floor to ceiling is 96" so if I hang the rod at about 93" I should get an inch or two of puddling.
It feels so foriegn to me. I have only had curtains just skim the floor. I need more feedback! And I don't want to pay more $ to get them hemmed....the longer curtains are already more expensive!
Have you taken into account the size of the rings? If you do the PB rod, with the rings and clips, I think you will make it.
Definitely get the 96" panels, you won't regret it.
