Drapes that 'puddle' on the floor.....

Love them or Hate them?

 

I hate them. It looks sloppy, and I can't imagine trying to keep them clean or dust free.

I don't like them either. Looks like you measured the windows and took the time to hang them then forgot to hem the bottom. Some people love the look, just seems sloppy to me.

Not with big dogs!

 

I need drapes for the extra barrier from the cold but it's 63", bottom of the sill for me.

I hate them. Looks like a dust collector. I don't want to move them when I vacuum or mop either.

@Mominohio, I hate them and would never own them. I have a cat and she would have a field day with them. Plus the dirt and dust. No way!

I like the look, but it's not practical.  

 

I like when drapes are hung close to the ceiling though.  It adds height to the room.

  I'll pass, but I think the cats would love them.

They are not practical for my home. I am sure I'd vacuum them up.  i like the look in some decor plans though,

I think they have their place but you need to have the right room, ceiling height, and fabric to pull it off. Not in my home because I am not formal enough for the look.

I have enough trouble cleaning floors with 84 inch drapes that don't touch the floor.
