How to Measure for Ready Made Curtains?

To get the right fit for your ready made curtains, you’ll need accurate measurements. Luckily, this is simple with our easy to follow steps! Firstly measuring the curtain pole or track width - not the window itself! The curtain width should be at least 1.5 to 2 times the width of the pole if you want a full, gathered look. Next, you’ll need to decide on the curtain drop. For eyelet curtains, this will involve measuring from 1 ½ inches above the pole to your desired length, while pencil pleat curtains should be measured from the track or pole rings to the chosen drop. Just make sure to choose the right length of your curtains - this means deciding if they sit just below the window, reach the floor, or puddle for an elegant aesthetic. For more information, view our curtain measuring guide.

How Do You Know What Size Ready Made Curtains to Get?

The right ready made curtain size for your needs is dependent on the above information, the dimensions of your window and the drop length of your preference.Please note that on the Terrys website, we always note the width before the drop. For example, our ready made curtains come in a variety of sizes, ranging from a 44 inch width and 90 inch drop through to 54 inch width and 108 inch drop, ensuring we cater to both standard and extra-large windows. For exact sizing, you can use our handy size calculator.

What Colour Curtains Make a Room Look Bigger?

If you need to make a room feel spacious and airy, or you need to make a bedroom appear larger, you should select light-coloured curtains. These should be in shades of colours such as white,cream,soft greys and pastels, helping to open up the room. For an elegant, cohesive look, select a curtain colour slightly lighter than your walls, helping to visually expand the room.Another option is metallic tones, which reflect light to enhance and provide the illusion of a larger space. Most importantly, you should always avoid dark colours and bold patterns, such as reds in smaller rooms. This is because they can distract and crowd a room, making it feel more enclosed.

What to Consider When Buying Curtains?

There are several things you should consider when buying curtains, the first being the aesthetic of the room in question. This means taking into account factors such as colours and the general appearance of the room, as you want your ready made curtains to complement the area. You might also want to consider the purpose of your curtains - are they for decoration, light control, or privacy? For example, ready made blackout curtains might be the perfect choice in a bedroom, while sheer or lightweight materials are best for bright kitchen and living areas.You can choose from textured, lined, or blackout materials, and select a colour that complements your décor. This means selecting colours like white and black curtains for a minimalist appearance, or you can combine and play with bolder colours for the perfect maximalist space. Considering these elements will allow you to find the perfect ready made curtains online to suit your home.
