Curtains Size Guide

Its best to purchase your pole or track first. Always use a metal measuring tape.
Overlap the pole / track by about 10cm on either side of the window and about 12cm on the top.

Width: Measure the size of your pole or track and multiply the figure by either 1.75 or 2. This should be your curtain width.
Keep in mind that most curtains are sold in pairs (2 x panels) and sizes displayed are usually panel sizes.

Drop: Measure form the top of the pole or track to the bottom of the floor. If you want the curtains above the floor, then subtract 2cm. If you want your curtains to 'pool' then add 7cm.
If you want to hang below the window sill then add 5cm more then the window ledge.

For complex windows or any other questions about measuring just email us and we will send you a measuring guide. This is just a basic guide and may not be applicable in all circumstances. We hold no responsibility for curtains ordered based on this guide.
