The windows is 30 inches and the curtain is 45 inches. The patterned curtain above is 1.5x the width of the window. It’s ALWAYS better to err on the side of too wide. Don’t skimp unless you don’t plan to use the curtains for very long. I regret skimping in my bedroom thinking that I could always get new curtains. But the extra fabric adds a real feeling of luxury. Curtains are expensive and a 50 inch panel is much cheaper than a 100 inch panel. It can be tempting to settle for 1.5 times as wide as the window. This measurement works for a single panel if you want curtains only on one side of your window, or divide it by two for curtains on both sides. If you never plan to close the drapes, some would say 1.5 times is wide enough. The rule of thumb is that your curtains should be 2 to 2.5 times as wide as your window. Add an extra 1-2 inches if you want the curtains to pool at the bottom. From there, adjust the curtain rod height to get to a length that IS available (you can see my favorite sources for drapes here). You will probably find this exact length is NOT a standard size. This is the ideal height for rod which gives you the length for a curtain. Measure 4-6 inches above the window frame to the floor. If your ceilings are 8 feet (96 inches), you will probably want to stick with 84 inch curtains. ![]() Nothing looks worse than curtains that are too short. Hanging your curtains HIGHER than you window sill makes you window look larger.
