96" will be a little long. May need to hem them a few inches. Hang the rod about 2/3 of the way up from the window and about 6" wider on each side of the window. 7-foot-wide rod.

I use 96" curtain panel with the same height from ceiling to floor without any hemming. Depends what you use for hanging...rings, or tab top...I use back tab or grommets.

Congratulations on your new home! Full length curtains would look great at your windows. Whether you hem them to just break, or have them billow on the floor is a personal preference. if you have kids and pets I would hem them so they just break when they hit the floor. If you think of a pair of pants that are perfectly hemmed, they have a slight break in the line of the pant; that's the same idea for hemming curtains that just break.

Curtain Length/Color Dilemma

Melissa, I like your curtains....Others have said buy longer ones and hem them....that would be fine but have you thought of sewing a strip on the bottom of your curtains you have now? Either the same color of fabric, a satin fabric the same color, or a contrasting color of fabric....to me that would be easier that raising your rod, taking the curtains back and getting long ones. You will have a nice room when done.

Ceiling to floor. If you're going to open and close them, they need to be 1/4-1/2" off of the floor, so get the longer length and have them hemmed. If stationary, they can "break" on the floor. We haven't seen any puddling in our workroom for a few years now. Ideal length. "Breaking on the floor"

You can always hem them to not puddle at all.

Visual is a big help. I plan to use back tabs.

Still struggling with this room want to add art over headboard. Room dimensions are 10x11, ceiling is 8ft. Walls are silvery light gray and plush carpet is charcoal. Can someone recommend a piece of art including style/color of frame, size and placement above bed?
