Mastering how to measure for curtains correctly can enhance your home's interior with expertly crafted window treatments. Curtains can filter or completely block light, provide privacy, reduce echo, and create the illusion of a larger space.
The key to properly mounting curtains is understanding how to measure your windows beforehand and then buying new curtains and curtain rods. Follow the steps below to accurately measure your windows and buy suitable curtains every time.
Before purchasing curtains, we need to measure the size of the window first, then purchase curtain rods or tracks, and finally, purchase appropriate curtains based on the size of the rods or tracks. The following is the measurement of the curtain size according to different hanging styles after the rod has been installed.
1. Grommet Style
2 Rod Pocket Style
3. Pleated Header Style
Curtain Width After Pleated = Rod or Track Width / Number of Panels
Curtain Length = Measured from the curtain rod ring eyelet or track ring eyelet to the floor
