Measure the width of the track or rod (not the window), then add extra each side so curtains stack off the glass when open - typically 15–30cm per side. For fullness, order fabric 2 to 2.5 times the track width so the curtains gather properly. For drop, measure from the top of the track or ring to where you want the hem to fall. Always measure each window individually, as openings are rarely identical.
White walls are a blank canvas, so almost anything works. Soft neutrals (cream, oatmeal, greige, soft grey) keep the look calm and cohesive; warm tones add cosiness while crisp white-on-white feels clean and contemporary. For contrast and drama, deep tones like charcoal, navy, or forest green stand out beautifully. Natural linen suits relaxed interiors, while richer fabrics like velvet add a more formal, layered feel.
The most common and versatile choice is having curtains just kiss or sit a fingertip-width above the floor for a clean, tailored look. A slight "break" (1–2cm pooling) softens the effect, while a deliberate puddle of extra fabric on the floor reads as luxurious and traditional. Sill-length or just-below-sill curtains suit kitchens, bathrooms, and windows above benches or radiators.
Layer them: mount the blind inside or close to the window recess for light and privacy control, then hang curtains over the top, fixed wider and higher than the frame to frame the window and add softness. Sheer curtains pair well with blockout blinds for flexible day-to-night control; heavier drapes over a roller or sunscreen blind add insulation and drama. Keep colours coordinated so the layers read as one considered scheme.
Many can, but always check the care label first. Cotton and polyester curtains are often machine washable on a gentle, cold cycle, while linen, silk, velvet, and lined or interlined curtains usually need dry cleaning to avoid shrinkage or distortion. Remove hooks and weights first, wash similar fabrics together, and hang damp to dry to reduce creasing. For light upkeep between washes, vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
