Hi all, a lot of people are asking where to get readymade long curtains. Here are a few affiliate links that hopefully will help you - all the links point to readymade curtains longer than 96":

I currently have "curtain paralysis"... can't find curtains long enough, can't find a rod long enough, husband and I can't agree on color or pattern... but this video was super helpful and now I am feeling like I at least know what NOT to do once I find curtains! Loved your video girl!

I never thought I would be worried about making my curtains too dramatic. But here I am. This video was so so helpful and super well made!

I moved my curtains up in my livingroom about 2.5" down from the ceiling and it looks amazing. It definitely makes my ceilings look taller and I find the break puddle i have now, instead of the major puddle I had before, looks relaxed, cozy and elegant. Changing the placement of the rod made a huge difference to the room.

Almost daily I fit curtains, railing, and rods. I can add this to the advice given.

If you tend to open and close the curtains daily; Do float.
If your curtains are not a very dark color; Do float.
If you have children running about; do float.
If you have pets in your house; do float.
If you really want to wipe the floor with your curtain; Do puddle.

Sooo, I had already purchased some curtains that was not wide enough for my windows...thanks to you, I came up with the idea of buying the same panel and doubling up on each side. As a result, this gave a more elegant look. 👌

When I was looking to find anything useful with curtains, I found your videos and you did not bullshit a single thing. Thank you for not wasting our time and being great unlike other Youtubers that spend 20 minutes talking about nothing to get there ads in.

I *personally* the puddled look. I think Kiss and Float look so so much better.
I know they aren't considered as classy or trendy, but I think they look more elegant.

Wow. You have a knack for this: explaining decorating. Not only did I learn something but it was entertaining to watch.

[benniepierce]

very informative for me as a bachelor who lost his decorator wife 10 years ago. she decided all this; I just followed her directions. now I have to make the decisions going into a new house and I don't especially like doing this

[juliek]

After watching this video I went out and bought all 96 inch drapes. The ones I was using was only 63! Way too short. Thanks for the information and you’re right it does make my windows look bigger and it looks much better

[Liz]

I find this video very informative. I also appreciate you taking the time to create visuals and texts to explain your points - so helpful! Thank you.

Pregnancy insomnia/nesting got me watching these awesome videos at 4 am! EEE LETS GO!

We are in a rental, and I've had a hard time figuring out why I hate the curtains so much. Turns out they are hung too low and too narrow. Thank you!

[remh_vuaremcua]

I had no idea how important the right curtains could be until I watched this. Your advice made such a difference in my home. Thank you, Rebecca!

[lorridzak]

My mom told me about the 1.5 -2 times width of your curtain panels my whole life! Mom advice for the win!

[terry]

Wow. A YouTube video that actually gives good, concise, and complete information for a change!

[katieallen]

I buy flat sheets that match my decor and sew them to run the rod through where I've sewn. I live on a budget and have a 3 year old and live in a run down apartment building I'm not buying nice curtains just yet.

Edit: I've also bought patterned fabric to make custom curtains for my son's bedroom

[downsizingontenacres.]

So glad I watched this before hanging my new curtains. I've got some rethinking to do!! Thank you.

[xiomaralewis]

This was the best, fully explained video. I loved it. I've been sewing my curtains for years but didn't know these styles had names. Unknowingly I tried them all.
THANK YOU!
