How To Measure Sheers

 

Sheers offer elegance and light to any room. To ensure a seamless look, this sheer measurement guide will walk you through the steps to measure sheer panels for a precise and aesthetic fit.

What You’ll Need:

  • Steel tape measure
  • Pencil or chalk
  • Measuring chart or app

Step 1: Measure Width

  1. Measure the width of the curtain rod or window frame.
  2. Multiply this by 2 to 3 times for fullness, as sheers are usually more gathered.

Step 2: Measure Height (Drop)

  1. Start from the curtain rod and measure to the desired bottom point (sill, floor, or puddle).
  2. Remember sheers are usually hung higher for a floating effect.

Pro Tips

  • Sheers look best when touching or slightly pooling on the floor.
  • Use the same measurements as main curtains for coordinated layers.
