Choosing the perfect linen curtains can dramatically transform the look and feel of any room. At Linen Couture, we offer a stunning collection of natural, eco-friendly linen curtains that add a touch of elegance and simplicity to your home. However, selecting the right size can be a bit challenging without the right guide. In this blog, we’ll walk you through a simple process to help you measure your windows for the perfect linen curtain fit, whether you're opting for our best-seller Linen Curtain with Tabs or other designs in our linen curtain collection.
Step 1: Decide on Curtain Style and Mounting Method
Before grabbing your measuring tape, it’s essential to decide how you want your curtains to hang. At Linen Couture, we offer a variety of curtain hanging styles to suit any rod installation, including:
And more, ensuring you’ll find the perfect option for your home’s decor. Our curtains are suitable for all types of curtain rods, making installation easy and hassle-free.
Step 2: Measure the Width
For a beautiful, full look, your curtain width should generally be two to three times the width of the window. Here’s a quick guide:
- Measure the width of your window from side to side.
- Multiply that number by 2 or 3, depending on how full you want the curtains to appear.
For example, if your window measures 100 cm wide, we recommend purchasing curtains with a total width of at least 200 cm to create a fuller, more luxurious look. Our linen curtains come in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can easily find the perfect fit.
Step 3: Measure the Length
The length of your curtains depends on the style you want and the placement of your rod. To get started:
-
Measure from the top of your window or curtain rod to the desired length. Common curtain lengths include:
- Sill length: Curtains that end at the window sill, ideal for kitchens or small windows.
- Floor length: Curtains that lightly brush the floor for a clean, elegant look.
- Puddle length: Curtains that extend beyond the floor by about 15–20 cm, creating a luxurious and dramatic effect.
For example, if you're going for a floor-length curtain, measure from the top of the curtain rod to about 1-2 cm above the floor for a neat finish.
Step 4: Add in Your Personal Touch
With our wide range of curtain styles, you can easily customize your curtains to match your personal taste. Whether you’re looking for something neutral or bold, our linen curtain collection offers over 40 fabric color options to choose from. If you're unsure about the color or fabric feel, we offer free color samples. You can order your linen samples here, so you’re confident in your selection.
Step 5: L-shaped Windows and Special Requirements
For L-shaped or corner windows, measuring might seem tricky, but the same principles apply. Ensure you measure both sides of the window individually, accounting for the space where they meet at the corner. Additionally, you may want to use multiple panels to ensure full coverage.
If you need pillowcases or additional accessories to complement your curtains, you can order them separately to complete the look of your room.
