What is the formula for measuring curtains?

Calculate the stack back width: To calculate the stack back width, multiply the distance from the edge of the window frame to the point where you want the curtains to be pulled back by 2. This will give you the total amount of space that the curtains will occupy when pulled back.

How to measure for drapery?

Measure the width of the window opening from outside edge to outside edge of the window casing. Add 6 to each side (12 total). Take the total number (your measured width plus what you added to each side), and divide it by the number of panels you want to order.

How do you measure for drapery?

A common rule for displaying curtains properly says the curtains finished width should be at least 2 times the width of your window (if not more) to achieve a look of proper fullness. Example: If your window measures 36 wide (window width x 2 = 72), you need curtains that will give a minimum width of 72.

How wide should my curtains be for a 72 inch window?

As a general rule, the width of your curtains should be at least twice the width of your window (if not more) to achieve a look of fullness. So, if your window is 116cms (45.5 inches) in width, you need two curtains of at least 232cms (91 inches) in width in total. You should always round up to the next full number.
