Before you move in, we think that there are a few things that we can help you with in order to make the space feel warm and cozy. It is also required that there is a minimum 1" clearance from the ceiling and floors for optimal air circulation. Short drapes or curtains need a minimum of 8 inches from bottom of fabric to top of heater.
We really encourage you to beef up your baseboards and casings. Baseboard - we think that a 6" baseboard will definitely help this space feel lush and rich. Painted white, this will also help to take your eye away from your baseboard red. As fabric can be a fire hazard, you must keep your curtains away from a baseboard heater.
Forced hot - water baseboard heaters can become quite hot. The bottom of your drapes should end at least 10 centimetres four inches above your heaters or, if your drapes run floor-to-ceiling, at least three centimetres above the floor. Make sure you have at least five centimetres two inches between the back of the drapes and the front of your heaters. The main mistake that people make is to fit heavy floor-length curtains over both the window and the radiator below.
This traps the heat in the window space and does not let it into the room. Correctly fitted curtains should not cover the top of the radiator , but should stop just below the window ledge.
Asked by: Rico Mourelos hobbies and interests woodworking Can curtains over baseboard heaters? Last Updated: 2nd May, Yulimar Lasheras Professional. Can you put a sofa in front of a baseboard heater? Baseboard heaters typically need at least 12 inches of space in front of the heater. You can place a couch or chair in front of a heater , but it must be at least a foot away. A door that comes within 12 inches in front of a heater is a fire hazard, just like furniture that is too close to a heater.
Boyko Pratesi Professional. Do baseboard heaters use a lot of electricity? Like other forms of electric resistance heating , electric baseboard heaters offer percent efficiency. That means percent of the electricity consumed by these heaters is used to produce heat.
Many of these units offer efficiency ratings of 78 to 95 percent, making them much cleaner than baseboard heating. Ginny Ostos Professional. How do you arrange furniture around baseboard heaters?
You need to focus on the center of the room when placing the large furniture pieces. The sofa , loveseats, chairs , coffee table and arm chairs should be located in the center of the living room.
Therefore, you give the air produced from baseboard enough space to flow. Kenya Schonlein Explainer. Should curtains touch the floor or baseboard? The fabric should just touch the floor or hover half an inch above. Goizane Siems Explainer.
Should curtains be longer than the window? The higher the curtain rod, the taller the window will appear, so fix your curtain rod closer to the ceiling than the top of your window , if you can. One rule of thumb is that they should sit inches above the window frame. They let your woodwork sing too.
My eye goes right to the bed which, as a guest, makes the room look so cozy and inviting. Really liking the idea of the dark curtains letting the bed be the focal point since a bed is the best part of a bedroom and life, I think.
I love sleep. I love option three! So incredibly chic and rich I think bedrooms should be designed for sleeping in and those dark curtains really create a cozy, moody feel! Those dark velvet curtain would totally make this the coziest space. The contrast could be so good. I guess I wouldn't think I would be either and here we are.
Each choice is welcoming in its own way. Love the dark green! I think that your windows being the perfect size for the shades and your walls being the same shade as the curtains is a sign HA! I really like how the light green frames the windows, BUT the dark green that matches the walls is like magic… crud! Love finding other Burgh people on the internet! I am so torn between all 3 — hoping my decision is easier to make when I see all the options in person!
I am so in love with the green!!! Cozy, sophisticated and moooody. What a great combination! Thank you, Meghan! Totally unrelated to your curtain dilemma but curious what software you are using to create your virtual designs.
My biz partner and I own an inter sewing biz www. The later is super time consuming… would love to know what you are using??
One of my favorite things is the 3D warehouse where people and companies share models of products — so after I made my room, I just downloaded models of the curtains, bed, lamps, night stands, every item in the room and popped them in. Hope that helps! If not, just as an FYI, the lighter green really is a sage-y green with a definite gray tint, and and dark green is so dark that it looks almost black.
Just FYIs for anyone looking! None of this stopped me from using these curtains in the dark green in my living room — er, rather, I will be, once I get them up — and I plan on using the navy in my bedroom. I now have all the curtains in my possession still no curtain rods but I haven't taken them out of their bags to look at them in the room in the daylight. I saw the ikea ones in the store and they looked good there but I gotta see them in the space.
I like that they're not super shiny glam because I'm not fancy enough for that biz. The lighter green has an almost weathered look that looked cozy to me so I'm excited. Thanks so much for the paint love. I'm super into it too. If you asked me right now what I think with everything still in the package, so this is really just based on my mood I'd say Option 2, option 1, option 3, just like you!
After I commented about the curtains here, I saw a photo from another post that I was admiring last week over on Apartment Therapy I think , and as I clicked around some more, I saw your blush bathroom, which I had also previously admired! That is all. Never apologize for an additional comment! Thank you so much!! Ooh, I like the light green velvet!
Oh my gosh what a big dog! I hope you finally get your floor-length curtains! Sorry if someone already asked, but where is the quilt from in your mockup? You provided me with much-needed inspiration! I may or may not be purchasing everything in your room. I just wish the beautiful ikea dresser was bigger to fit my space!
The quilt is from Anthropologie from a few years ago so it is unfortunately no longer on their site.
