Curtains – The “ins and outs”
Author: Arch. AriaThere are only a few simple rules to follow here; the length of the hung curtain should be to the floor or the windowsill. Anything in between looks rather odd.
There is a trend today of puddling curtains, this is where they are made longer than the height required and “puddle” on the floor, this requires a skill in fabric selection, so that they sit well. It is used commonly in living rooms and bedrooms.
With puddle curtains on a hand drawn track, make sure that the width of the curtain is not excessive as they become heavy and difficult to draw back. They are also prone to picking up all the fluff from your floor, so a little bit more attention is required to keeping them looking smart.
The top of the curtain (the heading), for all curtains can be at ceiling height, above or at the top of the window frame or flush with the window reveal.
It all depends on the space that you have. Do keep your choice constant in your home as it can look very odd if some curtain heads are fixed at different heights to others, especially when you can view through from room to room.
The finished length of ceiling to floor curtains should leave a 10mm gap, so that they don’t catch the floor and are easy to draw back, the gap for finishing at a windowsill only requires 5mm.
For safety reasons, never cover radiator heaters with curtains, look for another solution, either stop the curtains short of the heaters or use a blind as an alternative style of window treatment.
Consistency in design of the window treatments allows for a symmetrical form to be created here in this photograph. The head of the curtains are all the same height and the window swag and tail valance details are all the same and they are all held back at the bottom of the window sill which provides a regular frame for the windows and creates a flow and rhythm to the window treatments.

Dear pak Rahadyan,
Rumahnya bergaya klasik or modern klasik yah? Kalau untuk pemilihan gorden (curtain) atau vitrage biasanya sih menyesuaikan dengan warna interior ruangan. Warna2 yang biasanya dipilih adalah krem, kuning pucat, coklat muda/tua, merah marun, hitam dengan warna aksen emas. Coba hunting dibeberapa toko interior atau penjual kain gorden (dipasar raya biasanya ada), biasanya mereka banyak memiliki pilihan warna, bahan (silk, linen, katun, kulit, dll), ukuran, juga aksesoris pelengkap untuk window treatment.
Selain itu juga, biasanya toko-toko tsb sudah mengelompokkan gorden berdasarkan modelnya (minimalis, retro, klasik, dsb). Bapak tinggal memilih saja, mana kira2 yang paling sesuai dengan selera dan budgetnya…tp biasanya sih budgetnya lumayan terjangkau.
Selamat mendekorasi rumahnya yah pak
thank’s for your assistant
