Tips:
- Measure the width of the area you would like to cover. This is your ordering width - fullness is already accounted for (approx. 1.8x fullness). If your drapery needs to open and close, the total width coverage will equal the same span left to right that your hardware will be.
- We recommend whenever possible to extend out from the edges of your windows or doors as much as 6"-12" on each side. This will help make the area look larger, and will also help maintain as much natural light as possible when the drapery is open.
- Due to the nature of the grommet structure, we recommend this style be used for draperies that do not need to open and close frequently as the folds will need to be dressed and evenly spaced after moving.
- If ordering drapery that does not need to close (stationary panels), you can consider ordering a drapery with less coverage while still getting a finished, professional look. Contact our experts for advice: design@theshadestore.com or call 800.754.1455.
