Don't need to learn anything about measuring? Go directly to our recommendations about the number and size of curtains to buy according to your rod or adjust your choice according to the desired look.
For an optimal result, the rod should be placed between 10 cm and 15 cm above the window and extend 20 cm on each side of the supports.

To know the width of your rod, if it is installed on the ceiling, measure the distance between the 2 supports.

The desired look
The small details that make all the difference ... and the particularity of an interior.
If the choice of the size of curtains (width and height) depends on the size and positioning of the rod, it must also take into account the desired result.
The drop
For a clean look, look for a short fall 1 cm above the ground.
For a brittle finish, allow an additional 3 to 5 cm.
To adjust the height of your curtains: use the iron-on tape provided with each curtain panel and consult our guide to learn how to make a hem or use our home alteration service.
The ruffle
For curtains
The more the width of the curtain will be important, the more the rendering will be puckered if it is a head with gathers, or wavy if it is a head with eyelets.
For a light ruffled effect, choose a width of curtains equivalent to 1.5 times the width of your rod.
For a pronounced ruffled effect, opt for a width of curtains equivalent to 2 times the width of your rod.
For voile curtains
For a lightly ruffled effect, choose a width of sheer equivalent to 1.5 times the width of your rod.
For a pronounced ruffled effect, opt for a width of voile curtain equivalent to 2.5 times the width of your rod.
