Don’t worry—you’ve got this! Here’s how to measure your cafe curtains for a perfect fit:
1. Choose Your Mount
Inside Mount: Ensure at least 1″ of space inside the window trim to mount the brackets.
- Measure the width from inside trim to inside trim (to the nearest 1/8″).
- Measure the height from where you want the top of the pole to sit down to the sill. You may choose the midpoint or align with mullions for a balanced look.
Outside Mount: Measure the width from outside trim to outside trim, then add 4″ on each side for bracket and pole clearance.
- Measure the height from the top of the pole to where you want the curtain to finish.
