Measuring Curtains the Right Way for Goan Windows | S.N Interiors Goa

Getting curtain measurements right makes a big difference in how your home looks and feels. In Goa’s coastal climate, where there’s plenty of sunshine, humidity, and salty air, the correct curtain size doesn’t just add beauty — it also helps with privacy, comfort, and durability. Here’s how to measure curtains the right way for your Goan home.

Step 1: Decide How You’ll Mount the Curtains

You can mount curtains either inside or outside the window frame.

Inside mount is best for blinds — roller, Venetian, or Roman — because they fit neatly within the frame. Curtains, however, need space to hang freely.

Outside mount is what works best for most homes in Goa. The rod is placed above and beyond the window frame, which makes the window look larger and helps block sunlight better. For Goa’s hot afternoons, outside-mounted blackout curtains work wonders for keeping rooms cool.

Step 2: Measure the Width

First, check if the curtain rod or track has already been installed.

If it’s not yet installed, measure the window’s width and then add about 8 to 12 inches in total (4 to 6 inches per side). This extra space helps block more light and gives the window a wider look.

If the rod or track is already up, measure its full width. To get that nice full-drape look, multiply the width by 1.5 to 2 times depending on the fabric. For example, a 4-foot window should have about 6 to 8 feet of total curtain width. If you’re using two panels, divide the total width between both.

At S.N Interiors Goa, we suggest adding a few extra inches beyond the rod ends for a neat, professional finish.

Step 3: Measure the Length

Start your measurement from the top of the curtain rod or track—where the hooks or eyelets will sit—down to where you want the curtains to end.

Common styles include:

  • Sill length: Just reaches the window sill. Great for kitchens or bathrooms.
  • Apron length: Ends 4–6 inches below the sill. Works well for smaller windows.
  • Floor length: Stops just above the floor, giving a clean, elegant look for bedrooms and living rooms.
  • Puddle length: Extends 1–3 inches onto the floor for a cozy, luxurious style.

Floor-length curtains especially make the room look taller and more graceful.

Step 4: Choose the Right Fabric for Goa’s Climate

Goa’s humidity and strong sun can affect how long curtains last. Pick fabrics that handle moisture and heat well.

  • Go for polyester or linen blends — they’re breathable and dry quickly.
  • Add blackout lining for rooms that get a lot of afternoon sun.
  • Avoid pure cotton in high-humidity areas since it can absorb moisture and wrinkle easily.
  • For balconies or coastal-facing rooms, light sheers or synthetic fabrics are ideal as they dry fast and stay fresh.

Step 5: Double-Check Before You Place the Order

Always measure twice to make sure your numbers are accurate. Use a steel measuring tape for better precision, and note down everything in Width × Height format.
