How do you measure your window for curtains? ✦
Beautiful curtains can completely change how a room feels, adding softness, warmth, colour and texture. But before choosing the perfect design, there’s one important detail to get right: the measurements.
For Scatter Box eyelet curtains, start by measuring your curtain pole, not the window, excluding the finials.
Then remember three things:
✦ Measure the usable width of your curtain pole
✦ Allow approximately 1.5–2× the pole width for beautiful, natural fullness
✦ Measure your drop from the top of the pole to where you’d like your curtains to finish
And always measure twice before ordering.
We’ve put together a complete step-by-step guide, including how to choose your curtain size and how to create a beautifully layered, considered look around your window.
Save this post for later, then discover our full How to Measure Your Window for Curtains guide on the Scatter Box blog.
