Measurement Guide
At Rainbow Furnishings, we believe that the beauty of a curtain lies in its "fall" and "fullness." To ensure your windows look royal and elegant, correct measurement is key. Follow this simple guide to order the perfect size.
Step 1: Determine the Width (How many panels do I need?)
A common mistake is buying curtains exactly equal to the window width. This results in a flat, stretched look. You need extra fabric for beautiful gathers (pleats).
Our Standard Panel Specifications:
-
We use premium fabric widths of 48 inches and 54 inches to ensure rich fullness.
-
However, once pleated or put on a rod, the usable coverage changes.
Use this simple rule to decide the Quantity:
🅰 If You Are Using a Rod (Eyelet / Ring Style)
For standard Eyelet curtains, one panel covers approximately 24 inches (2 feet) of your window width effectively while maintaining good waves.
Window Width |
Recommended Quantity |
4 Feet Window |
2 Panels |
6 Feet Window |
3 Panels |
8 Feet Window |
4 Panels |
10 Feet Window |
5 Panels |
The Math: Divide your Window Width (in feet) by 2. Round up to the next number.
🅱 If You Are Using Channels (Track / Hook Style)
Channel curtains require tighter pleats (American or Pinch Pleats) for a professional look. Therefore, one panel covers approximately 18 inches (1.5 feet) of window width.
Window Width |
Recommended Quantity |
4.5 Feet Window |
3 Panels |
6 Feet Window |
4 Panels |
7.5 Feet Window |
5 Panels |
9 Feet Window |
6 Panels |
The Math: Divide your Window Width (in feet) by 1.5.
Step 2: Determine the Height (Length)
Measure from the top of the rod/track down to where you want the curtain to end.
We offer two Standard Heights:
-
7 Feet (Door Curtains): Standard height for most bedroom and living room doors.
-
9 Feet (Long Door / High Ceiling): Best for high ceilings or if you want a grander look.
-
Tip: For a luxury look, mount your rod 4-6 inches above the window frame.
Step 3: Customization (We Make It For You)
Don't see your exact size? Do you have an extra-large window or a specific height requirement (e.g., 8.5 feet or 12 feet)?
We are Factory Manufacturers. We can customize ANY size for you.
