How to measure: Curtain Width

Our curtains in single width are 55 in (140 cm) wide. With curtain hooks that create the waves, the curtain will then be at its most 35 in (90 cm) wide when stretched, and at least 14 in (35 cm) when gathered. We recommend letting it cover a width of about 24-28 in (60-70 cm) to get the nicest curtain waves.

Our curtains in double width are 110 in (280 cm) wide. With curtain hooks that create the waves, the curtain is then at its most stretched out to about 71 in (180 cm) wide, and about 28 in (70 cm) when gathered. We recommend letting it cover a width of about 55-63 in (140-160 cm) to get the nicest curtain waves.

Yes, absolutely!

It's very common amongst our customers that the walls on the sides of a window are not completely symmetrical. Often there is a narrower wall section on one side of a window, and more space on the other. Then the most natural curtain solution is to have a double width where there is more space, and a single width where there is less!

Single width (55 in / 140 cm) =
Maximum: 35 in / 90 cm
Minimum: 14 in / 35 cm

Double width (110 in / 280 cm) =
Maximum: 71 in / 180 cm
Minimum: 28 in / 70 cm

Gotain's philosophy is to always make it easy, which for us means a generous amount of fabric, billowing waves and a small trail against the floor. The curtains are made to measure according to your exact length and come in two fixed widths. If you are indecisive whether you should choose a singel width or a double width (and have enough space for a double width) - more textile is always preferable!
