How to measure curtain width

 

You asked and we’re here to help. Don’t worry.

Measuring for curtains requires accuracy to ensure the curtains fit properly and look good, aesthetically. Let’s walk you through your options.

Here's our step-by-step guide to measuring curtains width.

 

Step 1: Measure window width

Measure the width of the window or the space you want to cover. 

 

Step 2: Determine the number of panels

If you're using multiple panels, divide the total width by the number of panels you plan to use. This will give you the width for each panel.

Insert the width to the order form and add the number of panels you need under quantity.

Step 3: Considerations

If you're using a curtain rod, ensure it extends a few inches beyond the window frame on each side to allow the curtains to hang properly when open.

If you're using a track, measure the width of the track and add any necessary overlap for the curtains to fully cover the window when closed.

Also, expert design hack, if you want the room to look like it has bigger windows than it does, you can add on extra fabric in terms of width so that when you open the curtains they cover part of the wall. It’s also great for hiding things you want hidden, an ugly wall patch or shutter pully.

 

Step 4: Final Checks

Double-check your measurements to ensure accuracy before purchasing curtains.

If you're unsure, it's always best to measure twice to avoid errors. Or with a friend.
