Effect Of Curtains From The Floor To Ceiling

Full-length curtains can add a variety of looks to any room.

Curtains can give a room both color and texture. Full-length curtains that run from the ceiling to the floor can have a dramatic, sweeping effect or a soft, romantic feel, or add a formal tone to any room in the house.

Dramatic

Ceiling-to-floor curtains in a bold color, bright pattern or heavy fabric make an immediate statement. By framing your windows in this fashion, the eye will be immediately drawn to the curtains which will, because of their dramatic nature, act as the focal centerpiece of your room.

Romantic

Ceiling-to-floor curtains in a light fabric, such as gauze or chiffon, move gently with the slightest breeze and create a soft, fluid frame around your window. Light colors and muted patterns enhance this romantic look, as do gathers and ruffles.

Formal

A formal room can be given a tailored look with floor-to-ceiling panels. This look is best achieved with solidly colored panels that don't have much of a gather, if any at all.
