HOW TO MEASURE FOR CURTAIN LENGTH

Measuring for curtain length is key to achieving a polished, elevated look. Use the ceiling as your reference point to maximize height and create a grand effect. If ceiling mounting isn't an option, mount the rod or track as close to the ceiling as possible.

CEILING-MOUNTED TRACK

Measure length from ceiling to floor and add +2 cm.

WALL-MOUNTED TRACK

Measure length from top of the track to floor and add +2 cm.

CURTAIN ROD WITH RINGS

Measure from the underside of the ring to the floor and add + 2 cm.

CURTAIN ROD WITHOUT RINGS

Measure from top of the rod and add + 3cm.

HOW TO CALCULATE THE LENGTH OF YOUR TRACK OR ROD

Measure the width of your window and add the recommended extension to both sides to determine the length for your track or rod. Extending the hardware beyond the window ensures maximum light when curtains are open and creates the illusion of a larger window.

STEP 1: MEASURE YOUR WINDOW

Measure your window from edge to edge.

STEP 2: HOW TO CALCULATE THE TOTAL LENGTH OF YOUR TRACK OR ROD

Track: Extend at least 30-60 cm beyond each side of the window.

Rod: Extend at least 20 - 40 cm beyond each side of the window.

Window + Extension x 2 = Total length
