How to Choose Curtains for Your Home? – Harry Potter Houses Chibi Animals Window Curtain
Natural light streaming into your home is a beautiful thingβexcept, that is, when you want to sleep or get some privacy. Yes, curtains are pretty much a necessity regardless of where you live, and youβll want to do some research before buying them to ensure that you get the right size and style for your home.
To help take the guesswork out of the process, weβve put together this quick guide on how to choose curtains, and all of the extras that come with them.
Step One: Figure Out How Long They Need to Be
Length is one of the biggest factors to consider when youβre choosing curtains. There are five standard curtain lengths:Β 63 inches, 84 inches, 95 inches, 108 inches, and 120 inches. How long you go depends on the height of yourΒ windowsΒ and ceilings, and the look that youβre trying to achieve. Curtain lengths are determined by measuring from the rod pocketβwhich is where your curtain hangs off the curtain rodβto the bottom of the fabric.
To figure out the curtain length youβll need, youβll want to come up with your rod to floor height. Determine where your rod is going to be installed or measure from the existing rod down to where you want the curtains to hangβeither the bottom of the window or all the way to the floor. Do this measurement in inches, since that is how curtain lengths are usually indicated in the U.S.
The standard curtain width is 45 inches. To determine if youβll need one or twoΒ panels, measure the width of your window in inches and then add 12 inches to each side to account for rod overhang and to allow for your curtains to hang in gentle folds, instead of hanging taut.

- Tier curtainsΒ β Short curtains that cover just a portion of the window.
- Apron curtainsΒ β Curtains that hang just below the bottom of the window.
- Floor curtainsΒ β Curtains that reach down to the floor. Usually look best when paired with a rod thatβs closer to the ceiling.
- Puddle curtainsΒ β Curtains that reach down to the floor with some remaining fabric puddling at the bottom. Again, pair these with a higher situated rod.
