The Ultimate Guide to Perfectly Measuring for Custom-Made Curtains

Custom made curtains can add a unique and personalized touch to any room. When it comes to choosing the right measurements for your curtains, it's important to consider both the function and the aesthetic of the curtains. Here are some tips for getting the right measurements for custom made curtains in the style of Amore Beauté.

First, consider the height of your curtains. For a traditional look, your curtains should reach the floor or slightly puddle on the floor. However, if you prefer a more modern look, you can opt for curtains that stop just above the floor or hang just below the window frame.

Tip 1  

Measure the height of the window from the top of the frame to the desired length of the curtains. It's also important to consider any hardware, such as a curtain rod or finials that may affect the fit of the curtains. Measure the distance from the top of the window to the mounting location of the hardware and be sure to account for any overlap or clearance needed for the hardware.

Tip 2

Amore Beauté curtains as the exact measurement as mentioned. The length of the curtain includes the length of the fabric, leather tabs and rings, if included.

Next, think about the width of your curtains. Typically, the width of the curtains should be 1.5-2x the width of the window, but this can vary depending on the fullness you desire. If you want a fuller and more gathered look, choose curtains that are at least two and a half times the width of the window. On the other hand, if you prefer a sleeker and more streamlined look, opt for curtains that are closer 1.5x the width of the window. For double layer wool felt curtains, you can opt for lesser width. Based on experience of over a decade making curtains, clients in Europe opt for curtains that are usually 1.15-1.25x the width of the opening.

When it comes to the actual measurements, it's important to measure carefully to ensure a perfect fit. Start by measuring the width of the window from the left to the right at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the longest measurement to ensure that the curtains will fully cover the window. Then, measure the height of the window from the top of the frame to the desired length of the curtains.

Tip 3

When taking your measurements, it's a good idea to use a steel tape measure, as it provides the most accurate readings. Be sure to double check your measurements and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that your custom-made curtains will fit perfectly.

Once you have these measurements, you can use them to order your custom-made curtains from Amore Beauté. Be sure to provide the exact measurements and any other specifications, such as the desired fabric and style, to ensure that your curtains are made to your exact specifications. If you have any problems with the measurements, schedule a video consultation with Puja at Amore Beauté and she will be happy to walk you through the process.

In conclusion, getting the right measurements for custom made curtains is essential for achieving a perfect fit and the desired look. Consider the height and width of the curtains, as well as the fullness you desire, and carefully measure the window to ensure a perfect fit. With these tips, you can order custom made curtains with confidence and create a beautiful, personalized look for your space.
