We're looking at a 1955 house with electric baseboard heating. We're
wondering how much distance we need to keep between the heaters and
furniture/curtains. Is it a few inches, or a couple of feet? The rooms
are small, so it makes a difference.

My baseboard heaters are about 2 feet lower than the curtains. I
would try to keep furniture away from them as best as possible.
