Green and pink bedroom with tropical wallpaper and panelling.

Bedroom curtains are one of the most important elements, the finishing touch if you like, that can add colour, pattern and interest to your scheme. But one of the most commonly asked interior design questions is how long should bedroom curtains be? Long? Short? Or mid-length?
