How to Measure for Eyelet Curtains

By Home & Garden Last updated Saturday, June/29/2024

1). Decide how long you want your curtains to hang. Most curtains hang at windowsill level, just below the sill or at full-length just above the floor.
2). Measure the width of the curtain rod from the inside of one finial to the other. This measurement tells you how wide each of your two curtains should be at minimum. Double the width to allow room for the curtain to fold, adding fullness.
3). Measure the length of the window starting at the top of the rod. For sill-length curtains, measure down to 1/2 inch from the window sill. For below-sill-length curtains, measure down to 6 inches past the window sill. For full-length curtains, measure down to 1/2 inch from the floor.
