Window Curtain Size Guide

Curtain length is a matter of personal taste.

Window curtain size guide.

If your window measures 36 wide window width x 2 72 you need curtains that will give a minimum width of 72 or 2 panels for that window. The most popular length is 84. Curtain widths should typically be about 1 1 2 to 3 times the final width measurement of your window. Our curtains are 45 63 72 and 84 long plus 4 headings.

However the fullness you choose will ultimately define the style you want to achieve. These curtains usually cover the bottom half of the window and there is no need to have them extend beyond the window s width. In this case 2 panels will give about 100 to 120 of width which will look nice and full. On bedroom windows and living room windows you may want a layered look.

For example order a 200 curtain for 30 to 50 window. Fuller curtains lend a richer feel to your windows while curtains with a shorter width create a more tailored look. Styles range from charming to formal with length. All of our ready made curtain sizes are labelled with width by drop sizing so the first number is always the measurement across and the second is always the measurement down.

Kitchen valances for example are particularly country in style while curtains that touch the floor are polished and formal. Tier kitchen curtains work best for kitchen windows. Our ready made curtains are sold in pairs and the size refers to each individual curtain. Always round up to the next full number.

For fullness order curtain sizes 4 to 5 times the width of your window.
