Drapery Length

 
Rod placement and drapery length can completely alter the proportion of a window within a room.  Traditionally, draperies are mounted at least 6” above the edge of the window and hemmed so the fabric barely reaches the floor.  For a sleeker look, they can be hung at the window molding and/or cover only the frame of the window.  For a more luxurious look, which would require additional fabric, draperies can be mounted near the ceiling and/or puddle dramatically on the floor. 
 just 1/2" above the floor for a more functional look  breaking at hem, a softer look- add 3" to the length  A luxurious puddle look- add 12" to 14" to the length
