Decide On Your Perfect Length
The ideal length will depend on your window or door size, the room styling and your personal preference.
Above Sill
Resting Above the Window Sill
We recommend ending the curtain length at 1 cm above the sill when opting for curtains to be the same length as the window.
Below Sill
Falling Below the Window Sill
For curtains falling below the window sill, we recommend ending the curtain length 15-20cm below the sill.
Floor Length
