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).
- 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 rod pocket style, we recommend this style be used for draperies that do not need to move across the pole, as the ruching is meant to stay in place. Many customers will order this style to cover the same span as their hardware and use tiebacks to pull the panels to the side.
- 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.
