How to measure: Curtain Length

CEILING MOUNTED CURTAIN TRACK - Measure from ceiling to floor and add +1cm.

Measure in three different places as floors are often a bit uneven, and base your curtain length on the longest measurement.

To achieve a beautiful and full result with generous curtain waves, the trail against the floor is important, and why you add +1cm to the measurement. A trail gives the curtain support so that the fabric in the textile is not subjected to gravity in the same way as a too short curtain would be. This will give your curtain a fuller impression and a longer lifespan.

CURTAIN TRACK ON WALL - Measure from the top of the curtain track down to the floor and add +1cm.

Don't have a track installed to measure from? The curtain is sewn to 'cover' the entire track, so to determine the length of curtains you should order, you just need to decide at what height you will install your curtain track. We recommend installing the track as high as possible to create a feeling of space in the room. If you have a cornice, you can measure from the bottom of the cornice down to the floor + 1cm.

CURTAIN ROD ON WALL - Measure from the underside of the ring hanging on the rod and add +1cm.

Don't have a rod set up to measure from? To determine the length of the curtains you should order, you only need to decide at what height you will install your curtain rod.

We recommend installing the rod as high as possible to create a feeling of space in the room. A tip is to think 'in the middle' of the space you have above the window up to the ceiling. For example, if you have 60cm from the top of the window to the ceiling, we would recommend placing the rod in the middle, i.e., 30cm above the window. From this height, measure down to the floor and add +1cm.
