3 Reasons to Choose Floor to Ceiling Curtains

Should curtains touch the floor?

Ask a designer, and the answer is almost unanimously yes. However, the length of your curtains ultimately depends on the look you want to create. As such, curtains can brush the floor, pool slightly at the floor, or float just above it. Curtains are functional and stylish window treatments, and their folds, fabric, and floor length are completely customizable to add a genuinely personalized element to your room.

Because curtains are completely customizable, their benefits are, too. As such, there are more than three reasons to choose floor-to-ceiling curtains, but we’ve narrowed them down to what we think are the three most important ones:

1. Adaptability

The customizability of curtains allows them to adapt to your individual needs, and few window treatments are as flexible as curtains and drapery. Layer them over your existing window treatments for a dimensional style, or use them on their own for a minimalistic twist. Drapery and curtains aren’t even limited to your windows; they are great stylish alternatives to room dividers or closet doors. Fabrics like light linen and heavy velvet create airy or dramatic ambiance in your room. Sheer, light filtering, room darkening, and blackout liners control how much light enters your space and how many eyes can peer inside. No two custom curtains look or act the same - not unless you want them to.

2. Style

Curtains can instantly alter the atmosphere of any room. For example, as a certified Hunter Douglas dealer, The Blind Alley offers homeowners Design Studio™ Custom Drapes that feature over 250 color and fabric choices curated by renowned textile experts. Homeowners can use toile de Jouy patterns for a vintage antiquated look or watercolor lines for playful color. Old favorites like florals and embroidery stand out next to modern trends like chevron and paisley. Pinch pleats and ripple folds emphasize the quality of your curtain fabric, and Satin Nickel, Brushed Bronze, or Matte Black hardware brings your designs together without taking away from your windows’ style.

3. Function

Curtains are thought to have been invented before the common era for light control and privacy, and their practicality is still worth mentioning even in the 21st century. Floor-to-ceiling curtains fully cover windows with ample fabric, so homeowners never have to compromise between their natural light and privacy. Part your curtains to reveal your window and its view, and draw your curtains in for light blockage and peaceful seclusion. Using your curtains is as simple as pushing a button - especially when your Design Studio™ drapes and other Hunter Douglas window treatments are paired with PowerView® Automation.
