Accurately measuring for curtains is a must if you want to get the right fit, whether you’re shopping for easy-fit ready-made curtains or commissioning made to measure.

Curtain width measurements will depend on the length of your curtain track or pole, but measuring curtain length or ‘drop’ will be determined by where you’d like your drapes to end.

Use a metal tape measure for better accuracy and follow our guide on how to measure for curtains to get those dimensions right!

Measure the width of your existing track or pole. Do not include finials in your measurement just the track or pole.

Our curtains are made in widths of fabric, each width is between 138cms and 152cms. So in a 2 width pair of curtains for a track 240 cms wide you would have a total of approx 550cms of fabric width, which will give you full looking curtains.

upto 70cms wide, Pair 1/2 width per curtain, single curtain 1 width.

70-140cms wide, Pair 1 width per curtain, single curtain 2 widths.

140-210cms wide, Pair 1 1/2 widths per curtain, single curtain 3 widths.

Notes.

Always use a steel tape measure, fabrics tapes can stretch. It may seem obvious but if you are replacing existing curtains that are the desired size just measure them and input these sizes into the site.

If you require 2 pairs of curtains of different drops for the same room and it is important that they are pattern matched please let us know if you would like them to match from the top or Bottom.
