Curtain Measurement Guideline
Easily simplify your curtain measuring process with our Measurement Finder, specifically designed to guide you step-by-step for a seamless, stress-free experience.
For Soft Top & Grommet Heading Style
The default fullness is set at 100%, but for drapes, you should aim for a fullness of 160-200% of the final measured width. A 160% fullness will give a more tailored look, while 200% fullness, which is recommended, will create a richer, more luxurious appearance. Here's a quick guide on recommended fullness:
- 1.6 times of the curtain rod length is a moderate gather.
- 2 times of the curtain rod length is a standard gather.
You'll need to choose the fullness ratio based on the type of header you're using. Additionally, you'll need to determine how many panels are necessary to achieve your desired fullness, as the fullness ratio can vary depending on the header style.
Determine The Width of Curtains
- For Pleated Heading Style, Per Panel Width = Curtain Rod or Track Full Length / Panel Quantity
- For Soft Top Heading Style, Per Panel Width = (Curtain Rod or Track Full Length x 200% Fullness) / Panel Quantity
- For Grommet Heading Style, Per Panel Width = (Curtain Rod or Track Full Length x 200% Fullness) / Panel Quantity
Finding The Perfect Fit
Different lengths of curtains will give the room a different visual experience.
Tips
- Your customized curtains will be made to the exact width and length you specify.
- Heading styles include French Pleat, Triple French Pleat, Tailor Pleat, Triple Tailor Pleat, and Flat Hooks, all of which come with adjustable hooks and rings.
- Both width and length are measured with a steel tape measure and accurate to within 1 inch.
- Be sure to measure each window and doorway individually.
- Perceptions of fullness vary. Some may prefer a looser drape, while others may want a fuller, more gathered look. When choosing a fullness factor, consider your personal taste and the desired look for your space.
