Settle an argument between me and OH

[Wishfulmakeupping]

Serious friday night drama in our house:
Brought some 90" drop curtains for the French door in living room which aren't quite long enough.
They come to top if the skirting boards about 4" off floor I think they look ridiculous he disagrees whose is right please?
Curtains should be touching floor no?

How big is the hem? If you put the hooks onto the top bit of the tape and redo the hem would they touch the floor?

Floor or nothing.

You are married to a barbarian. Floor length with a bit to spare is the only tolerable curtain length.

Curtains that are too short remind me of this.

How serious is the drama?

I have worked in a curtain shop, so can deal with this, but it is low on priorities!

If all else fails can you have them shortened for a bedroom window?

He is wrong, your neighbours will laugh at you

You're right!

He is wrong (used to work in a curtain/fabric shop too)

I hate too short/half mast curtains

he is wrong and it would make my brain itch looking at the 4" gap

4 inches of the floor isn't long enough or short enough for curtains.

You are right. He is wrong.

curtains must touch the floor!! tell him he's a dufus.

He is wrong. They need to be floor length to block out draughts from the bottom of the doors. Saves you money in the long run.

But YABU to add no to the end of your sentence.

He is wrong. Can you return them? Tell me you haven't cut the gather cords? If I was Kirstie Allsop I'd tell you to add a panel. But I have no fucking clue if that's an actual thing...

He is Mr Wrong from Wrongsville, curtains have to 'puddle' on the floor obviously. Sheesh the man has no style

I'm not sure I care, though I think perhaps I should seeing as feelings are running very high on the thread.

Can I see a picture please?

YANBU. I took made to measure curtains back once because they were 1cm shorter than I had ordered. They looked daft. As will yours if they are 4" off the floor. If your OH is anything like mine, he is saying they are fine because he can't be bothered with the whole return thing and wants an easy life. Little does he know that if they don't get exchanged, you will have the right to bring them up in every row you ever have for the next 10 years and therefore his life will actually be far easier if they go back.

You're right. He's wrong. If you can't return them, either add a contrast hem or a contrast top (which obviously means unpicking and reattaching the curtain tape )

They should be touching the floor.

90 inch drop is a standadr drop. is it worth the expense
of bespoke curtains?

You're right. They'll look hideous.

YANBU, LTB

The curtains are patterned and match the curtains for the bay window other end of room. We could get another 2" if we have them took down which we will get done Tomo but if we add another panel in we need to do same with the ones for other end of room Iyswim.
Curtains are eyelet ones and not enough material at top to move them down.
Can't take them back either so would need to buy new curtains for the French door and bay window which I could do but I'm tight

Oh abd thank you for deciding on the main that I am right ;)

Have just looked and mine are about 8 inches of the floor lol have never even noticed before haha

They have to touch the floor, or when psycho killer with a machete hides behind them you see his feet sticking out.
