Hanging drapes can be tricky but it doesn’t have to be. Always be sure the drapes hang to the floor (just slightly above). We don’t want them to look like “high-waters.” Puddling is also a look that some people prefer. Pudding is where your drapes literally puddle two or more inches on the floor. While drapes should always be a couple inches above the window and trim, we sometimes like to take them even higher to create a more dramatic look. A higher hang will make the ceiling height seem taller.
