4、How do I choose the right curtain length for my space?
Consider the desired effect: 'kiss' for a neat look with curtains just touching the floor, 'float' to have them slightly above the floor, 'puddle' for a more dramatic, formal look with excess fabric on the floor, or 'break puddle' for a slight gather at the floor.
5、What does 'fullness' mean in curtain measurements?
Fullness refers to the extra fabric used to create gathers or pleats in the curtain, giving it volume. Typically, curtains are made 200% to 300% fuller than the actual window width to achieve a rich, draped appearance.
6、Can I use the same size curtains for every window in my room?
It's best to measure each window individually, even if they seem similar. Slight differences in window sizes can affect how curtains fit and look, so accurate, separate measurements are crucial.
7、Why is the type of curtain header important in measuring for curtains?
The curtain header affects how the curtain hangs and its overall length. For example, grommet headers require measuring from the top of the grommet, while pleated curtains are measured from the bottom of the ring or hook.
8、How does mounting the curtain rod affect curtain length?
The placement of the rod can significantly impact the curtain length. Mounting the rod higher than the window can make the ceiling appear taller and the space larger, which requires longer curtains to reach the floor.
