What Is The Best Dunelm Curtain Material For You?

Believe it or not but curtains do more than just hang around and make the room look pretty. They are in fact a great way to save money as they passively regulate the temperature, noise and lighting in a room without using any energy. And while the material they’ve been made from is generally chosen for purely aesthetic purposes, it actually has an effect on the performance of your curtains. With this all said and done you may be wondering which Dunelm curtain material you should pick. Luckily we’ve created a list of some general fabrics you’ll find in Dunelm’s catalogue and their advantages that you can refer back to the next time you’re picking out Dunelm curtains and blinds.

How To Find Your Ideal Curtain Sizes At Dunelm

A well-fitted pair of curtains can be the perfect finishing touch to any room, but figuring out your curtain size can be tricky, especially if you’re not too familiar with buying curtains or if your window is not a standard size. Luckily we’ve got a list of steps to help you find your ideal curtain size at Dunelm in no time!

1. Pick your ideal curtain length from the 4 main types (windowsill, apron, floor-length or puddle).
2. Use a tape measure to measure the width and height of your window from the curtain pole or 15 cm above the window.
3. Compare your measurements to the curtain sizes at Dunelm and pick the closest one.

Note: Your curtain length is dependent on the type you choose. For windowsill curtains, it’s recommended to take 1 cm off your window height. For apron curtains, simply add 15 cm to your window height. For floor-length curtains, measure the height from the curtain pole to the floor and subtract 1 cm. For puddle curtains, simply add 1-3 inches to the height from the curtain pole to the floor. Curtain width doesn’t require as much maths as the length does as it’s purely the length of your curtain pole, but it is recommended to round up to the nearest size when shopping for ready-made curtains.
