Dunelm s ready made curtain dimensions.
Window curtain size guide.
Curtain length is a matter of personal taste.
The back curtain which is usually sheer will need more fullness than the second layer.
Styles range from charming to formal with length.
In this case 2 panels will give about 100 to 120 of width which will look nice and full.
Fuller curtains lend a richer feel to your windows while curtains with a shorter width create a more tailored look.
All of our ready made curtain sizes are labelled with width by drop sizing so the first number is always the measurement across and the second is always the measurement down.
For fullness order curtain sizes 4 to 5 times the width of your window.
On bedroom windows and living room windows you may want a layered look.
For example order a 200 curtain for 30 to 50 window.
Our ready made curtains are sold in pairs and the size refers to each individual curtain.
The most popular length is 84.
However the fullness you choose will ultimately define the style you want to achieve.
As for the curtain rod install it four to six inches above your window frame extending five to six extra inches on each side.
These curtains usually cover the bottom half of the window and there is no need to have them extend beyond the window s width.
Tier kitchen curtains work best for kitchen windows.
Curtain widths should typically be about 1 1 2 to 3 times the final width measurement of your window.
Kitchen valances for example are particularly country in style while curtains that touch the floor are polished and formal.
