These Are the Right Curtain Lengths for
Every Window In Your Home
Cafe Curtains
Rather than being hung above the window, as is the case with other types of window coverings, you hang cafe curtains from the middle of the window.
Puddle Curtains
These extra-long curtains work best in formal living rooms and dining rooms, or any other spaces where you’re looking to create a more elegant atmosphere.
How to Measure Windows for Curtains
In most cases, you will need the total width of the curtain panels to be at least twice that of the window itself.
Curtain Length Tips
1. Don’t forget to also account for any added space that curtain rings will take up.
2. Take multiple height measurements across the width of the window to account for the possibility of an uneven floor or ceiling.
3. When buying curtains, it is better to choose a set that may be a bit too long, rather than a set that could end up being too short.
4. If you can’t find a length that matches your exact needs, consider working with a designer and getting custom curtains.
