"Puddling" or "Pooling" Guide
What is Puddling or Pooling?These terms refer to the amount of extra drapery length that is spilled or “puddled” onto the floor. Puddling adds opulence and style to your drapes.
Puddling is not recommended for panels that will be opened and closed as the bottoms of the draperies will get dirty quickly. 1/2" off of the floor is standard.
Also called a break or “trouser” break. A 1” puddle provides a clean look where the draperies just rest on the floor.
The most popular option for decorative side panels. The drapes have adequate length to spill nicely onto the floor but still not a large puddle.
A true puddle. There is enough extra length to fan the draperies out onto the floor. Not recommended for high traffic areas, or homes with pets.
