Step 1: Measure Your Windows

Before making any decisions, accurately measure your windows. Different window lengths require different curtain lengths. Here’s a breakdown of the height variants, the first value is the width and the second value is height. 

• 5 feet Window: Standard curtain length. (60 x 60 inches)

   

• 7 feet Door: Opt for curtains that extend slightly beyond the door’s length.  (60 x 84 inches)

   

• 8 feet Long Door: Similar to the 7 feet door, but with a little extra length. (60 x 96 inches)

   

• 9 feet Long Door: Curtains should be longer to maintain an elegant look.

Step 2: Choose the Header Style

The header style of your curtains impacts their appearance and functionality. Two common header styles are available:

• • Eyelet-Rod: Eyelet curtains have a series of 5 folds and 10 rings per piece in a set of 2 curtains along the top, making them easy to slide onto a curtain rod.
