Silk Curtains: How to Measure for a Professional and Elegant Look

This essay will teach you all you need to know about choosing the right dimensions for silk curtains so that you can get the look you want for your home when they are placed. We've covered everything from gathering supplies to selecting curtain rods and other requirements. So, without further ado, let us get started on taking accurate measurements.

 1. Prepare yourself with all the material

Make sure you have all of the materials needed for the process before you begin measuring, so that you can do it effortlessly and quickly. These include a measuring tape, a notepad, a pen, and, if needed, a ladder. Make sure the measuring tape is 25 inches long so that you can easily measure larger windows without having to move it as frequently. This is where the majority of measurement errors occur.

2. Take the width measurements

 Start by measuring your windows' width from the left to the right side of the frame. For an accurate size, take three width measurements: from the top, center, and bottom. Now, write down all of the measurements you obtained in a notebook so you don't forget and can avoid making mistakes while purchasing them.

 3. Take length measurements

 Now is the time to accurately measure the length of your curtains. So, using the measuring tape, start from the top and work your way down to the bottom of the frame or existing curtains. Take length measurements from top, center, and bottom, just like you did for width. Proceed to the right, measure the length from the middle, and then proceed to the left. Now, write down the longest measurement you get, as it will be the most accurate.

4. Consider overlapping, hemming, and rod.

Finally, consider the fabric used for overlapping and hemming, as well as the fabric used to hang them on the curtain rod. The cloth that folds when you close the curtains is referred to as overlapping, so allow for 4 additional inches. Hemming occurs when the fabric floods at the bottom during stitching, which is 4 inches in silk curtains; therefore, add an extra 4 inches.

For example, if your curtain is 60 inches long, after overlapping and hemming, it will be 68 inches. Also, keep in mind that a regular curtain rod on which to hang your silk window curtains will require an additional 2–4 inches.

In the end

Taking precise dimensions for your silk curtain installation is critical in order to achieve the most attractive look in your home with this addition. Follow these professional-recommended methods to ensure accurate sizing of your casement frames. Hang the precisely sized silk curtains in your windows to give the room an appealing and fashionable appearance.
