How do I measure for a metallic veined curtain?

Measuring for a metallic veined curtain might seem like a daunting task, but it's actually pretty straightforward once you know the steps. As a supplier of metallic veined curtains, I've helped countless customers get the right measurements for their windows, and I'm here to share my tips and tricks with you.

First things first, you'll need to gather a few tools. All you really need is a good tape measure. Make sure it's long enough to reach from one end of your window to the other and from the top to the bottom. You might also want to have a pen and a piece of paper handy to jot down your measurements.

Let's start with the width. The width of your curtain is super important because it determines how well it will cover your window and how much light it will block. To measure the width, start by deciding whether you want your curtain to be inside the window frame or outside.

If you're going for an inside - mount curtain, measure the width of the inside of your window frame. Measure at the top, middle, and bottom of the frame. Sometimes, window frames can be a little uneven, so taking multiple measurements will give you a more accurate result. Write down the narrowest measurement. You'll usually want to add about 2 - 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm) to this measurement to ensure the curtain hangs nicely and covers the window properly.

For an outside - mount curtain, measure the width of the area where you want the curtain to hang. This could be a few inches wider than the window itself. A good rule of thumb is to make the curtain at least 6 - 12 inches (15 - 30 cm) wider than the window. This extra width gives the curtain a full and luxurious look when it's drawn.

Now, let's talk about the length. Measuring the length is just as crucial as the width. For an inside - mount curtain, measure from the top of the window frame to where you want the curtain to end. You can choose to have the curtain end at the sill, just below the sill, or all the way to the floor. If you want the curtain to end at the sill, measure from the top of the frame to the top of the sill. If you want it to go below the sill or to the floor, measure accordingly.

For an outside - mount curtain, measure from the top of where the curtain rod will be installed to the desired ending point. If you're using a curtain rod that's mounted above the window frame, make sure to account for the extra height. And don't forget, if you want a puddle effect at the bottom of the curtain (where the curtain pools on the floor), add a few extra inches to your measurement.

Another thing to consider is the fullness of the curtain. Fullness refers to how much the curtain billows out when it's hanging. A curtain with more fullness looks more luxurious and provides better light - blocking and privacy. To achieve a good fullness, you'll want to multiply your window width measurement by a certain factor. For a standard look, a factor of 1.5 - 2 times the window width is usually sufficient. For a more dramatic, full look, you can go up to 2.5 - 3 times the window width.
