Floating curtains are an excellent choice for living room drapes, because they are easy to clean, and they barely touch the floor. However, if your living room windows are not high enough, you should consider draping your curtains to half an inch above the floor. If you buy premade panels, be sure to hem them properly to get the right length. The length will depend on the width of the panel and the window size.
In a mid-length design, like the one below, you can create a perfect sight line across the room. In this New York farmhouse, Virginia Tupker used Les Indiennes cotton curtains to create a sweet, country-chic look. Similarly, in a Paris apartment, Lorenzo Castillo chose a variety of prints in the same hues as the linen curtains. And in this elegantly neutral living room, floor-to-ceiling curtains complement the red accents in the Mondrian-inspired Porter Teleo wallcovering.
To add color to the living room without using paint, use drapes in a bold accent hue. These curtains will add a wash of color to a room and can be changed according to season or mood. In this living room, the curtains match the sofa and the walls. Brass accents, meanwhile, add a dramatic feel. So, if you’re looking to add color to your home, drapes are a great way to add drama and character to any living room.
