How to Measure Width for Curtains

1. Measuring the Rod:

Measure the length of the installed curtain rod, excluding finials.

2. Measuring the Window:

Measure the width from trim to trim. We’ll automatically add 6" per side (12" total) for fabric stack, for stack space, but you can request a custom adjustment.

Header Considerations:

• Pleated headers: Fullness is built into the design. Curtains will be made to match the measured width.
• Casual headers: Curtains are made at 2x the measured width for proper fullness.

Opening Considerations:

• Center Open: Curtains are made as a pair, each panel covering half the window.
• One-Way Open: Curtains are made as a single panel at the full measured width.

How to Measure Height for Curtains

1. Pleated Headers (Ripple Fold, Pinch Pleat, Parisian Pleat):

Measure from the underside of the rings or carriers to the floor.

2. Casual Headers (Grommet, Back Tab, Rod Pocket):

Measure from the top of the rod to the floor.

Pro Tip: Measure in multiple spots as floors can be uneven. Use the longest measurement for accuracy.

 How High to Install the Rod:

• 2/3 Rule: Mount the rod 2/3 of the distance between the top of the window and the ceiling. Example: If there are 6 feet above the window, mount the rod 4 feet up.
• Maximum Height: Mount the rod as high as possible or to the ceiling for a dramatic, elongated look.
