HOW TO MEASURE CURTAINS/DRAPES

Measuring the Width

If you already have a drapery rod, measure the distance between the finials (the decorative ends of the drapery rod).

If you already have a track, measure the total length of the track.

If you do not already have a rod or track, then you will need to determine the total width that you would like your drapery to cover.

Measure the width of the window, including the window frame/trim if applicable.

When measuring the width to be covered, we recommend adding an extension of 6-15 inches (15-40 cm) to each side of the window measurement. You may add more extension if you wish to create the illusion of a wider window.

By doing this, when the curtains are open, they will not block as much of the glass and it will allow lighter and make the window appear larger.

Also, by adding these extra inches to the width, it will extend the drapery coverage and help keep out extra light when they are closed.

Width = Window Width + Left Extension (6-15 inches) + Right Extension (6-15 inches)

Measuring the Length

If your drapery rod is not already in place, you will first need to determine the height at which you want to place your drapery rod. Please ensure there is at least 4-6 inches(10-15cm) space above the curtain rod to facilitate proper installation and use of the curtains.

We recommend Measure from 6-10 inches(15-25cm) above the top of your window to create a professional look and to give the illusion of height. This will become the placement height of your drapery rod.

Measured Height is the distance from the top edge of the rod or the bottom edge of the track down to your desired curtain length.

The Measured Height shown in the above diagram is not the Curtain Length. The Curtain Length varies depending on the header style. Please refer to the table below for the measurement methods of different header types.

Heading Styles	Curtain Length
Grommet/Eyelet Top	Curtain Length = Measured Height + Top Margin(20mm or 3/4 inch)
French/Pinch Pleats	Curtain Length = Measured Height- Hook Allowance (typically 2 inches-2.75 inches or 50mm-70mm) When installing on a track: Curtain Length = Measured Height - Track Height
Tailored/Euro Pleats	Curtain Length = Measured Height- Hook Allowance (typically 2 inches-2.75 inches or 50mm-70mm) When installing on a track: Curtain Length = Measured Height - Track Height
Rod Pocket	Rod pocket curtains require no hook allowance or top margin, so Curtain Length = Measured Height.
Back Tab	Back tab curtains require no hook allowance or top margin, so Curtain Length = Measured Height.
Flat Panel	Curtain Length = Measured Height - Hook Allowance (2.35 inches-2.75 inches or 60mm-70mm)

Depending on functionality and style, there are typically six curtain lengths, which are: to the sill, below the sill, above the radiator, above the floor, to the floor, and puddle on the floor.

1. To the Sill

How to measure: The curtain ends just at or slightly above the window Measure from the top of the rod/track to the window sill. Subtract 0.5 inch (1 cm) if you would like your curtains to sit just above the window sill.
Best For: Smaller windows or when you want to keep the sill exposed for decoration or functionality (e.g., plants).
Visual Effect: Offers a clean, neat look and allows the windowsill to remain visible.
Functionality: Ideal for spaces where the sill is an important feature or for small windows where you don't want to cover the sill.

2. Below the Sill

How to measure: The curtain hangs just below the windowsill, usually a few inches down. Measure from the top of the rod/track to your desired length past the windowsill (we recommend adding 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) below the windowsill, but this is subject to personal preference, as well as the window size, ceiling height, and room proportions).
Best For: When you want to keep the windowsill visible but provide some coverage or privacy below it.
Visual Effect: Adds some layering while still showing the sill. It creates a balanced look without covering the window's full length.
Functionality: Perfect for kitchens or bathrooms where the sill may have objects but you still need light control.

3. Above the Radiator

How to measure: The curtain hangs above the radiator or heater, leaving space between the bottom of the curtain and the radiator. Measure from the top of the rod/track to your desired length above the radiator (we recommend the curtains finish 1-2 inches (3-5 cm) above the radiator, but this is subject to personal preference).
Best For: Rooms with radiators or heating elements where you want to avoid blocking the heat.
Visual Effect: Provides a higher hang, elongating the look of the room and creating a more refined, formal appearance.
Functionality: Prevents curtains from obstructing airflow from the radiator and is practical for energy efficiency in colder seasons.

4. Above the Floor

How to measure: The curtain hangs just above the floor, usually about an inch or less off the ground. Measure from the top of the rod/track to your desired length above the floor (we recommend subtracting 1-3 inches (2.5-7.5 cm) from the floor, but this is subject to personal preference, as well as the window size, ceiling height, and room proportions).
Best For: Modern or minimalist designs, especially when you want to keep the floor clear and avoid dust accumulation.
Visual Effect: Gives a streamlined, tidy appearance, maintaining a clean line with the floor.
Functionality: Ideal for rooms with frequent foot traffic, as the curtains won't drag on the floor or collect dirt.

5. To the Floor

How to measure: The curtain reaches down to the floor, with the hem touching the surface. Measurefrom the top of the rod/track to the floor.
Best For: Most standard window treatments in living rooms and bedrooms, offering full coverage and privacy.
Visual Effect: Creates a formal, elegant look, and makes the room feel taller by drawing the eye downward.
Functionality: Suitable for most residential settings where you want complete privacy and a finished look.

6. Puddle on the Floor

How to measure: The curtain extends several inches past the floor, forming a soft "puddle" effect on the ground. Measure from the top of the rod/track to your desired length. We recommend adding 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) to the length-to-the-floor: 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) for slight pooling, and 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) for more dramatic pooling. However, this is subject to personal preference.
Best For: Luxurious or dramatic window treatments in formal or grand rooms, such as in a living room or master bedroom.
Visual Effect: Adds an opulent, dramatic feel, making the room appear taller and more refined.
Functionality: While visually striking, it requires more maintenance, as the extra fabric can collect dust and dirt on the floor. It's more about aesthetics than practicality.

HOW TO MEASURE BLINDS & SHADES

For Roman, Roller, Solar, Cellular, Zebra Shades & Shangri-La, Venetian Blinds

FOLLOW OUR STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

INSIDE MOUNT

Mounted inside the window frame for a sleek, built-in look that keeps your trim visible. This option requires a certain amount of space, known as the minimum depth requirement. Minimum depth requirements vary by product and are noted in each product's details.

STEP 1 MEASURE THE WIDTH

Since windows are not always perfectly square, measure the width in three places-top, middle, and bottom (see diagram above). Use the smallest one as your ordering width. We will make the necessary deductions (about 1/8"–1/2" or 3mm-12mm).

WIDTH	RECORD MEASUREMENT
A: TOP
B: MIDDLE
C: BOTTOM

* Smallest of the 3 width measurements is your ordering width.

Note: All measurements must be accurate to the nearest 1/8 inch or provided in millimeters.

Material Note: The actual material width is always a little less than the ordering width to allow for brackets. How much less depends on the control type you select.

STEP 2 MEASURE THE LENGTH

To find the length, measure your window in three spots-left, center, and right (see diagram above). Use the largest number as your ordering length.

LENGTH	RECORD MEASUREMENT
D: LEFT
E: CENTER
F: RIGHT

*Largest of the 3 length measurements is your ordering length.

Note: All measurements must be accurate to the nearest 1/8 inch or provided in millimeters.

STEP 3: MEASURE THE DEPTH

Measure the depth at the top of your window’s inside casing. This ensures there’s enough space for a secure inside mount and helps determine if a flush mount (where the product sits within the frame) is possible. Product depth varies by control type and options. Minimum depth requirements vary by product and are noted in each product page's details.

DEPTH	RECORD MEASUREMENT
G: DEPTH

Note: All measurements must be accurate to the nearest 1/8 inch or provided in millimeters.

For some types of blinds or shades, you can choose a NO DRILL INSIDE MOUNT option. The measuring method for NO DRILL INSIDE MOUNT and INSIDE MOUNT is exactly the same. However, for NO DRILL INSIDE MOUNT, the material width is the same as the ordering width, since there are no brackets, and therefore no deductions are needed.

OUTSIDE MOUNT

Mounted outside or above the window frame
Creates a taller, more dramatic look
No minimum depth required

STEP 1: MEASURE THE WIDTH

Measure the width of the area you want to cover. If space allows, add 2–3" or 50mm-80mm (about 1–1½" or 25mm-40mm on each side) to reduce light gaps. The final number will be your ordering width and the overall width of the shade.

LENGTH	RECORD MEASUREMENT
A: TOTAL WIDTH TO COVER

* Use this as your ordering width.

Note: All measurements must be accurate to the nearest 1/8 inch or provided in millimeters.

STEP 2: MEASURE THE LENGTH

Measure the height of the area you want to cover. The result will be your ordering length.

LENGTH	RECORD MEASUREMENT
B: TOTAL HEIGHT TO COVER

* Use this as your ordering length.

Note: All measurements must be accurate to the nearest 1/8 inch or provided in millimeters.
