How to determine the right size for your living room curtain
A living room curtain should be neither too long nor too short to be both aesthetically pleasing and functional. If the curtain is too short, drafts will enter the room through the window, and it won't adequately block sunlight. Curtains that are too long will drag on the floor and attract more dirt. Furthermore, the material will wear out more quickly, and the curtains will need to be replaced more often.
