How to choose the right size of light colour jacquard curtain?

Hey there! As a supplier of light colour jacquard curtains, I've seen a lot of folks scratching their heads over how to pick the right size. It's not as tricky as it might seem, though. In this blog, I'll walk you through the whole process, so you can make the best choice for your space.

Understanding Your Window

First things first, you gotta know your window. Measure the width and height accurately. For the width, measure from one end of the window frame to the other. It's a good idea to measure at the top, middle, and bottom of the window and use the widest measurement. This ensures that your curtain will cover the entire window properly.

When it comes to height, measure from the top of the window frame to where you want the curtain to end. You can choose to have the curtain just cover the window, or you can let it puddle on the floor for a more luxurious look. It's all about your personal preference.

Considering the Function

The function of the curtain also plays a big role in determining the size. If you want the curtain to block out light completely, you'll need to make it wider and longer than the window. This way, there won't be any gaps for light to sneak through. For example, if your window is 36 inches wide, you might want to get a curtain that's at least 72 inches wide. This allows the curtain to overlap when closed, providing better light-blocking capabilities.

On the other hand, if you just want the curtain to add a decorative touch and let some light in, you can go with a curtain that's closer to the width of the window. You can also choose a lighter fabric that allows more light to filter through.

Room Size and Style

The size of the room and the overall style you're going for are important factors too. In a small room, you don't want to overwhelm the space with huge curtains. Opt for curtains that are proportionate to the window and the room. A good rule of thumb is to keep the curtain width within 1.5 to 2 times the width of the window.

If you have a large room with high ceilings, you can go for longer and wider curtains to make a statement. Floor-to-ceiling curtains can add a sense of grandeur and elegance to the space. They also help to draw the eye upwards, making the room appear taller.

Types of Light Colour Jacquard Curtains

There are different types of light colour jacquard curtains available, and each type might have different size requirements. For example, tab-top curtains are easy to hang and look great in a casual or contemporary setting. They usually come in standard widths, but you can choose the length based on your needs.

Pencil pleat curtains are another popular option. They have a more formal look and can be adjusted to fit different window sizes. You can choose the number of pleats based on how full you want the curtain to look.

Measuring for Different Mounting Options

The way you mount the curtain also affects the size you need. If you're using a curtain rod, you'll want to make sure the curtain is wide enough to cover the rod when it's open. You can add a few extra inches to the width to account for this.

For a track system, the curtain should fit snugly on the track. Measure the length of the track and choose a curtain that's slightly longer to allow for some movement.

Final Tips

• Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you're still unsure about the size, you can reach out to us, and we'll be happy to assist you.
• Consider the fabric shrinkage. Some fabrics might shrink after washing, so it's a good idea to choose a curtain that's a bit larger than you need, especially if you plan to wash it regularly.
• Look at the curtain in the room before making a final decision. Hang it up temporarily to see how it looks and if it fits the space well.
