We try and make things as easy as possible for you when it comes to fitting new curtains and have up to 14 different sizes of widths and drops in our range. Hopefully that’s most windows covered!
Don’t despair if you’ve not managed to get the pole up yet; as general rule of thumb, you need to measure the width of your window and add 20cms (approx. 8 inches) to each side to allow for brackets and finials. Read our guide to measuring for curtain poles and tracks.

As a general rule, the width of your curtains should be at least twice the width of your window (if not more) to achieve a look of fullness. So, if your window is 116cms (45.5 inches) in width, you need two curtains of at least 232cms (91 inches) in width in total. You should always round up to the next full number.
Doubling the width of your windows will give you curtains with a standard amount of fullness. If you want deluxe fullness, you need to multiple by 2.5, and for ultra-fulness, triple the width. When deciding on the fullness you’re after, consider the type of room the curtains are in, the weight of the fabric and the purpose of the curtains. Living room curtains with luxurious material are more likely to benefit from a tripling of the width than cotton curtains in a child’s bedroom.
Our ready-made curtains come in the following widths: 117cm (46 inches), 168cm (66 inches), 228cm (90 inches), 284cm (112 inches) and 345cm (136 inches).

While it’s best to get as close to the right length as possible, sometimes your curtains will be too long, and you’ll need to cut them. Here’s what you can do it your curtains touch the floor or are generally just too long.
