Puddle drapes

Puddle Drapes are drapes that hang down extra long and gather on the floor below the window. This style of length creates a beautiful, flowing look which is great for formal dining rooms and living rooms.

Drapes puddled in the old days as a means for the rich family to show how wealthy they are, that they could afford to puddle expensive fabrics on the floor. This “mid-century” look is now becoming popular with boutique hotels because of its elegance and luxurious look.

If you prefer for your drapes to puddle, use a height that is 6-10 inches beyond the floor or carpeting. Generally we only recommend puddling for decorative drapes. If your drapes are going to be opened and closed regularly, puddling is not recommended as the bottoms of the drapes will get dirty very quickly or even ruined.
