1. Measure inside width of the window frame, .
2. Decide how much coverage you want to add on each side, . We recommend 5-10 inches.
3. Decide what fullness you'd like. Fullness is the ratio of fabric to the space you're covering. For example, if you have a 50" wide window and you want 2x fullness, we'd use 100" of fabric.
Example
- Let’s say your window is 50" wide and you want to add another 5" on each side. Your total width is 50+5+5=60"
- Let’s say you want 2x fullness. Total curtain width would be 60x2=120". This could be one 120" curtain or 2 curtains each 60" wide, etc.
- Pro tip: When you're ordering your curtain and you get to the width section, you can use the "measurement guide" option and we'll do all these calculations for you!
