To ensure the best fit for your couch or sofa cover, please follow these measurement guidelines:

• Width: Take a flexible measuring tape or a rope and place it along the widest part of your sofa, following the contours of the surface as if it were a linen fabric. This will help you determine the width of the couch cover needed.
• Depth: Use the measuring tape or rope to measure from the front of the seat cushions to the back of the sofa, replicating the way the linen fabric would drape. Note down this measurement to ensure an accurate fit.
• Height: Measure from the highest point of the sofa's back to the bottom of the sofa, following the curve of the rope or measuring tape. This will provide the height measurement required for the couch cover.
• Arm Width: Wrap the measuring tape or rope around each armrest, capturing the width by following the shape and contours. This will help determine the appropriate size for the armrest portion of the couch cover.
• Arm Height: Measure the height from the seat cushion to the top of each armrest, replicating the drape of the linen fabric with the measuring tape or rope. This measurement will assist in selecting a couch cover that accommodates the armrest height.

To choose the perfect size for your curtains, please follow these measurement guidelines: 

• Width: For a drapey look when closed, it's recommended to choose curtains that are 1.5-3 times wider than the area you want to cover. As per our recommendation, select curtains that are 2 times wider.
• Length: Measure from the bottom of the curtain panel to the top of the rod pocket. This measurement will determine the length of your curtains.
• Shrinkage: Keep in mind that pure linen fabrics tend to shrink by 3-5% after the first wash. If you plan to wash your curtains, it's advisable to add an extra 3-5% to the total length measurement to account for potential shrinkage.

Remember that linen is a natural fiber and all our linen fabrics have been pre-washed. If you are planning to wash your curtains, we recommend adding an extra 3-5% of the total length and referring to our linen care instructions before the wash.
