I definitely prefer Asda ones.

90 x 90 inches. Add to basket. Purchase.

They will fit perfectly. You want the curtains to touch the floor just a touch or they look like ankle swinging trousers. The eyelet will also raise the curtain above the rail slightly.

Touching the floor will gather dust and they'll get/look grubby pretty quick.

Why take up the curtains? They look so much more luxurious puddling, and you have no kids or pets? Just pull them back, I'll buy you a big vase or something and it will look like you meant them to be that luxurious length!

Actually, better still, make some tie backs yourself, shell ones? Sea glass ones? Then pull them back gently and let them pour into puddles if they are too long

I fully intend ALL my curtains made to measure to puddle. So there.


Just clicked links, I like the asda ones best out of those two.

They'll "puddle" far too much .... it'll look a bit of a mess and I can see myself tripping over them. They would also give spiders a place to try to set up home..... I do like to keep a spider-free home.

I will make tie backs at some point - but would need to work out how to fix those to the wall ... it'd have to go onto a "Little workman" list.

I think it'll be the Asda ones too .... I just wish the blue was a tiny bit bluer Or if there were two blues in there. But there isn't - and they're affordable.... and "on theme".

I would say - all you "puddle" fans..... where the curtains would be "puddling" is where there's other things going on. Two corners:
- TV/phone/broadband corner and all the leads etc being there.
- PC/speakers corner and all that stuff being there.

There's no floor space for the curtains to "puddle", none at all... they'd end up shoved up a corner all crumpled up and annoying.

Are you planning on dancing right by the wall and window?

You can lift them up a bit with a tie back, with which you can also add an in jettison of blue.

My dogs cope ( mainly ) so you can.. You are so clean it cannot get too dusty, you just vacuum them with upholstery attachment every now and then, .

They cover all that crud. Bonus!

They are not going to puddle. The fabric above the eyelets will be about 4-5cm which means they will actually sit nicely on the floor. If you use tie backs, as LIR, suggests, they won't even touch the floor on the inside area, nor will they be in a tripable space.

You have found the right curtains. Buy them

Well... there's a LOT of curtain when pulled back - and if they're closed and I come in at night, that's the door I'd be using.... so definitely a trip hazard for me, trying to get into the house, carrying things, in the rain/dark.

Current Status: Ordering the Asda ones.... although I won't order them just yet - I need to check if there's a discount code/voucher first I guess, or a "better" way of ordering the maximise cashback/whatever/freebies .....

I put decorations in my windows but when the curtains are closed, we do not see them. We have other stuff in the house if we feel like it.


It can be really basic and look quite effective. A window with white 'snowflakes' Looks quite sweet IMO, you just need paper, and scissors and something to stick them on with. I yes tape so they flutter in any draught :rotfl:
