Curtain Drop :

Curtain length is a personal choice but as a guide, for window sill length curtains, measure to around 1 to 1.5cm above the sill, or add this amount if you prefer them to hang below.

For full length curtains, measure to 1cm above the floor.

The type of heading your curtains have will affect the drop length required :

1. Eyelets: measure from the top of the pole to where you want the curtains to finish, then add on 4cm (1.5 inches).  Note that if you over measure for eyelets there is no room for adjustment, like there is with the pleated headings so make sure you double check your measurements.
2. Tab top: measure from the top of the pole to where you want the curtains to finish.  For best results, position the pole approximately 15cm (6 inches) above the top of the window to minimise light exposure.
3. Pencil pleat: measure from the eye of the curtain ring for a pole or from just above the track to where you want the curtains to finish.
