Curtain Measuring Guide

Length (Top to Bottom):

Measure from the top of the curtain rod down to where you want the curtain to fall.

Note: The total length is measured from the top of the rod pocket to the bottom of the curtain, excluding the optional 1-inch header.

Width (Left to Right):

For a full, gathered look, your curtain panels should be 1.5 to 2 times wider than your window or the width of your curtain rod. For a more tailored appearance, a less full look is acceptable.

The listed width is the combined width of both panels.
Example: 25" wide tiers = 50" total width
36" wide tiers = 72" total width

For a balanced look, the width of the valance should match the width of the tiers.
Example: A 15" L x 50" W valance pairs with 25" W tiers (50" total).

1-Inch Header: Includes a rod pocket with a 1" decorative topper (header not included in total curtain length).

Flat Top: Rod pocket only, no decorative header.

Rod Pocket Size:

Choose a rod pocket that fits your curtain rod comfortably:

For round rods, the pocket should be twice the diameter of the rod.
Example: A 1" round rod needs a 2" rod pocket.

For flat (continental) rods, add ½ inch to the rod height.
Example: A 2.5" flat rod needs a 3" rod pocket.


ADDITIONAL TIPS:

It is recommended that the necessary quantity be ordered to ensure a consistent color and pattern. There can be a slight variation between bolts.
