Standard Curtain Length Options

Floor length curtains just touch the floor. They hang to within 1cm of the floor. This is the most common and versatile length. It looks neat and works in most rooms.

Puddle length curtains pool on the floor. Extra fabric creates folds at the bottom. This luxurious look suits formal spaces. The puddle should be 5cm to 10cm of extra fabric.

Break length sits between floor length and puddle. The curtain touches the floor with a slight bend. Around 2cm to 3cm extra fabric. This looks elegant without being too formal.

Sill length curtains end at the windowsill. They suit cottage style and casual spaces. Less common in modern Brisbane homes. Mainly used in kitchens or small windows.
