Measuring Guide

1. Width

Measure along the ceiling exactly where you want the curtain track to run.

This is the full width the track will cover — not just the width of the window.

• For a luxurious look, choose a width that extends past the window frame, so the curtains can stack neatly off to the sides [diagram 1].
  
• If your window is inside a recess, measure the exact width of the recess (this is the maximum usable width) [diagram 2].
  

2. Height

Measure from the ceiling, or the point where the top of the track will sit, straight down to your desired curtain length.

• If the track mounts directly to the ceiling, measure from the ceiling [diagram 1]
  
• If your cornice hangs lower and the track must sit just below the cornice, measure from the bottom edge of the cornice instead. [diagram 2].
  

For a clean, modern finish:

Aim for the curtains to sit around 2 cm above the floor.
