How to measure: Curtain Width

To achieve a beautiful and voluminous look with generous curtain waves, the width is key. The curtain should look elegant both when closed and open. Choose between single width (140cm) or double width (280cm); the curtain hooks create flowing waves by gathering the fabric.

Double Width (top): A double-width curtain measures up to 180cm wide (extended) and as little as 70cm (gathered). We recommend covering a width of approximately 140-160cm for the best curtain waves.

Single Width (bottom): A single-width curtain measures up to 90cm wide (extended) and as little as 35cm (gathered). We recommend covering a width of approximately 60-70cm for the best curtain waves.

The above measurements apply to the most common hanging method, using a curtain track with two-finger hooks.
