How to measure for eyelet curtains – experts share their top tips to get the size right

A bright bedroom with dark teal velvet eyelet curtains and a pink quilted headboard on the double bed.

Curtains are often something of an afterthought when it comes to decorating a space. And yet, they hold so much power – they can instantly transform a room and make it look elevated with the help of the right style, size, fabric and colour or pattern. If your chosen style happens to be eyelet curtains, one of the important things when buying a set is getting the measurements right – that’s why you need to know how to measure for eyelet curtains.

Curtains bring texture into a room which is how, with the right texture and finish, they can make a space look and feel luxurious. But if you don’t know how to measure for curtains and end up with ones that are too big or, even worse, too small, then that will have the less than desirable effect of making your home look cheap.
