How to Measure Your Curtains

Achieving the perfect curtain fit starts with accurate measurements. Follow this simple guide.

1

Measure the Width

Measure Curtain Width

Measure the full width of your curtain rod or track from end to end. We'll take care of the rest to ensure a beautifully full finish.

💡 Don't have your curtain rod yet? No problem — simply measure where you'd like your curtains to start and end, and we'll take care of the rest.

2

Measure the Length

Measure Curtain Length

Decide how you'd like your curtains to fall:

Sill Length — Ends just at the window sill

Below Sill — Falls 10–15 cm below the sill

Floor Length — Finishes just above the floor (1–2 cm)

Puddle Style — Extends 5–10 cm onto the floor for an elegant look

Measure from the top of the rod or track down to your desired length.

3

Select Your Curtain Style

Choose your preferred heading style, as it may slightly affect the final look:

Eyelet (Ring Top)

Pencil Pleat

Pinch Pleat

4

Double-Check Your Measurements

For the best results, we recommend measuring twice to ensure accuracy before placing your order.

✨ Sophia Living Tip

When in doubt, opt for a slightly longer length for a more refined and elegant finish.
