Choosing the right curtain size is essential for achieving a balanced and stylish look while ensuring proper coverage for your outdoor space. Here are some key factors to consider when determining your curtain size.
1）Curtain Width
Before determining the curtain width, you should first decide on the rod length.
Rod Length
We recommend extending the curtain rod slightly beyond the window opening to ensure full coverage and prevent any gaps on the sides. A typical overhang of 4-6 inches per side works well.
Curtain Width Calculation
Once you have determined the rod length, calculate the curtain width. For a full and elegant look, the total curtain width should be 1.5 to 2 times the rod length.
Example
If you are using two curtain panels to cover a 100-inch rod, each panel should be around 75 inches wide: 100×1.5÷2=75
2）Curtain Length
Before selecting the curtain length, decide where to mount the curtain rod. This will help you measure the distance from the rod to the ground.
Floor-Length
Curtain length is typically measured from the curtain rod to the floor.
Floating-Length
If installing curtains outdoors, consider keeping them 1-2 inches off the ground to prevent dirt buildup and maintain cleanliness.
Puddle-Length
For an elegant, luxurious effect, you can add a few extra inches to the length to create the "puddle" look, where the fabric slightly drags on the floor.
By following these tips, you can select the perfect curtain size that complements your space while ensuring both style and functionality.
