How to Find Your Perfect Curtain Size

Finding the right size is easier than you think. With just a few quick measurements and styling tips, you’ll be ready to add to cart with confidence and create a space that feels as good as it looks.

Please Note: our curtains are sold individually. For a complete, designer finish, we recommend two curtains per curtain rod.

Quick Reference Guide:

  • Rod up to 1.5M Wide: 2x 135cm Wide curtains
  • Rod up to 3.05M Wide: 2x 210cm Wide curtains

Designer Tip: always round up your measurements, it’s better to have a little extra fabric than not enough!

How to measure for your curtain rod height — showing the correct placement above the window frame for a balanced, designer look.

1. Measure Your Window

Start by measuring the width and height of your window, then decide on the style you're after — clean and modern, or soft and flowing.

Curtain Rod Height

  • Allow at least 10-20 cm above the window frame for your rod to sit.
  • For added height and drama, mount it closer to the ceiling.

Curtain Rod Width

  • Extend the rod at least 10- 20 cm past each side of the window frame.
  • This creates the illusion of a wider window and allows your curtains to stack back neatly, letting natural light in.

2. Select Your Curtain Length

We offer three curated curtain lengths: 220 cm, 240 cm, and 260 cm.

Always round up to the next length — longer curtains look more intentional.

Designer Tip:

  • Just grazing the floor creates a modern and tailored look.
  • Puddling softly on the floor offers a relaxed designer feel (perfect for sheers).

3. Select Your Curtain Width

For a balanced, designer look, always use two curtains per rod.

Full vs Flat Style:

Flat: when your curtain width matches the rod width. This results in a minimal, taut look and can appear sparse when closed.

Full (our recommended style):
When your curtain width is 1.5× your rod width. This creates a luxurious, gathered finish that feels full, elegant and designer-approved.

We Suggest:

  • Rod up to 1.5M Wide: 2x 135cm Wide Curtains
  • Rod up to 3.05M Wide: 2x 210cm Wide Curtains
