How to understand the length of the veil

1. Standard curtain length

Understand that the curtains you see in stores come in four basic lengths:

• 84 inches: Best for 8 meter ceilings

• 96 inches: Works well for 9 foot ceilings

• 108 inches: Suitable for ceilings up to 10 feet high

• 120 inches: Suitable for very tall windows

2. What is the importance of curtain length?

I learned that curtain length does more than cover windows. My room looks taller when I hang the curtains at the right length.

Very short curtains make my space look smaller and more balanced. Think of curtains as a fitted piece of clothing – everything looks better when they're the right size.

How do you determine the correct curtain length for 10 meter ceilings?

I know finding the right curtain length can seem like a math problem, but I'll make it easy for you.

Here's what I do to fix it:

1. Start at the top

• Place the curtain rod 6 to 12 inches above the window frame

• Place as close to the ceiling as possible (4-6 inches lower).

• This will make your windows look bigger

2. Measure correctly

• Get out your measuring tape

• Start where the curtain rings will be placed

• Measure where you want the curtains to end.

• If using rings or clips, add 2 inches

3. Choose your style

• Floor length: The curtains touch the floor

• intersectionAdd an extra 3-6 inches to create a soft layer underneath

• Rocking: Raise the curtains 1/2 inch off the floor
