How To Measure Curtain and Drapes Size?

Curtain Width

We always recommend to choose curtain or drapes width 1.5 to 2 times wider than with of the window or pole or track. This will create folds and add fullness.
If you have curtain rod, then measure distance between finials.
If you have track, then measure total length of the track.
