The Length Of Sheer Curtains

Sheer curtains dress up a window, while still allowing sunlight to shine through. They are often paired with fabric draperies or a valance to add color and design to the room. Sheer curtains add elegance and softness to a room. Most sheer curtains, like traditional curtains, run from the top of the curtain rod to about 1 inch from the floor. While traditional curtains sometimes pool up on the ground for dramatic effect, since sheers aren’t as heavy as traditional curtains they don’t look good pooled on the floor. Additionally, the sheer, light-colored fabric shows dirt easier than traditional curtains. When it comes to length of sheer curtains, determine how long your sheers must be, with the help of a tape measure. Run the tape measure from the top of the curtain rod to the floor, then purchase sheers with the same measurements.

If you’ll be making your own curtains, add room for a hem, a seam allowance and for a pocket from which the sheers will be hung on the rod. Exact add-on amounts will depend on your hem preferences, and the size and style of your curtain rod. Determine the width of your sheers by measuring the width of the window and multiplying it by at least two. If you want fuller sheer curtains, multiply the measurement by three.
