How To Measure Linen Curtains?
Choosing the right curtain for your home is already a headache-inducing exercise. Yet have you thought about how to get the right measurement? Below are three steps to help you get it right.
Deciding on where your rod goes
It is essential to know what length of linen curtains you need. The best practice is to hang your curtain rod all the way up close to the ceiling, so it draws your eyes upward and make the room look taller. It also makes the space seem higher-end

You can also opt for hanging your curtains just above your window or door architraves if you prefer that look.

Deciding on where the curtains end
You can have your curtains slightly brush the floor. This look is the most popular and can suit various styles of home, especially a simple and modern home.

You can also have so-called puddled curtains where your curtains extend well beyond the floor to create a puddled effect. This type of curtains brings elegance and opulence to the space and is seen in many traditional high-end homes.

Measure for Width
When you determine the length of your curtains, you need to measure the widths of the window. Usually, curtains are made about 2 to 3 times the final width of your window measurement.
If you want standard fullness, multiply the measured width by 2. If you want premium fullness, multiply by 2.5, and if you want extreme fullness, multiply by 3.
