How to measure for a Wall Mount Sheer Curtain?

Opting for wall-mount sheer curtains is an excellent decision that promises elegance and functionality.

Here is our guide to ensure your curtains fit flawlessly and enhance the charm of your interiors.

Accuracy is Vital: Always use a steel tape measurer to ensure accuracy. Make sure it’s straight and taut during measurements.
Map Your Home: Start at the front door, turning left. This becomes ‘Window 1’. Continue clockwise around your home, labelling each window sequentially. If you have multiple levels, repeat the process upstairs. As you order, label each curtain with its corresponding room name.

Track Width:
Before you start, decide if you’d like the track width to extend beyond the curtain width. This choice ensures your curtain stack can be positioned past any doors or windows, enhancing functionality. Typically, the curtain stack occupies about a third of the total curtain width.
Curtain Height:
Aim to extend your curtains as high and wide as possible. This approach offers a luxurious look and ensures optimal light control.

For Wall-to-Wall Curtains:
Determine the precise width of your ceiling by measuring from one wall directly to the opposite wall.
Deduct 20 millimetres from the measurement for clearance. For instance, if the measurement from wall to wall is 3000mm, order the curtain width at 2980mm.
For Window Curtains:
Measure the width of the outside of the window frame or recess at the top. To ensure your curtains stack neatly to the edge of your window, add approximately 30% to this width.
- Example: If your window frame width is 2000mm, add 30% (600mm) for a total track width of 2600 mm.

Three Points Measurement:
Measure the height from the floor to the top of the ceiling in three places: left, centre, and right. If all three measurements are consistent (e.g., 2405mm), order the curtain drop at that length. We will make any deductions associated with the drop effect.
