 Curtains
Click on the thumbnail images for measuring guidelines and a larger view of the 6 classic curtain styles.

Some tips when measuring for curtains:

  • Use a metal tape measure and measure in millimetres for greater accuracy
  • Measure the area that you want to cover, not just the window
  • If tracks overlap, include the overlap in your measurements
  • Poles or tracks are best fixed about 10 cm clear above the window
  • Make allowances for fabric shrinkage

    It is best to get your curtainmaker to measure. These are only guidelines and are meant to give you a rough idea of fabric quantities.
