- If you order or buy a ready-made model, to determine the appropriate width, use a parameter such as the assembly factor (KS). To calculate the width of one canvas, the length of the cornice is divided in half; the resulting number is multiplied by the KS.

Principles for choosing modern curtains
Fans of fashionable design solutions are advised to first familiarize themselves with the trends for the 2022 season when choosing curtains. If the interior of a living space is decorated in a classic style, it is recommended to choose plain curtains in subdued colors.
It is necessary to completely abandon lambrequins and other additional elements that add inappropriate elegance. You can create a classic interior using details such as curtain holders, curtain rods and tassels.
A modern interior is decorated using plain curtains, which can be bright colors. For a loft-style interior, it is recommended to use light tulles, which soften the atmosphere and give a feeling of comfort and freedom. Here you also need to remember that curtains and lambrequins are inappropriate details from last season.
The choice of curtains should be determined not only by fashion trends, but also by the type of furniture, wall decoration and decor. It is important to maintain a uniform style and adhere to the color scheme chosen for the design of the apartment.
What you need to know about color
Curtains should not only be beautiful, but also create a unified color and stylistic composition of the entire room. Therefore, it is important to wisely choose the color of future curtains.
There are ready-made color palettes on the Internet; just enter into a search engine: *name of wall color* combinations. The given result can greatly facilitate the task of choosing the color of curtains. For example, dark green or burgundy curtains

Correct selection of length
You can choose the right size of curtains by taking into account several factors:
- room area;
- window sill functions;
- room interior;
- arrangement of furniture relative to the window.
Calculation of material for curtains
If you plan to sew your own curtains or make custom-made curtains, you need to correctly calculate the amount of material. An incorrectly selected fabric cut size can lead to a discrepancy between the idea and the result.
Before you go for the material, you need to decide how long the curtains are needed. After this, start measuring. It must be done from the eaves to the floor. Further actions:
- it is necessary to add from 2 to 10 cm depending on the types of fasteners - eyelets, hooks, etc.;
- add 2 to 4 cm depending on the type of fabric - to the hem;
- when choosing floor-length curtains, you need to subtract 1 cm; if the length is longer, add up to 30 cm.
In width, you need to take into account the number and depth of the proposed folds.
All measurements regarding length must be carried out at 4–5 control points along the entire width. This will help in case of uneven floor levels. If you are planning curtains with asymmetry or with figured cutouts, it is better to sketch the diagram on a sheet of paper with detailed marks of lengths and allowances.
Attention! Despite the plan for correct fabric measurements, it is necessary to purchase material with a margin of up to 10 cm - it is easy to make mistakes in the process, and excess fabric can come in handy.
Additional decorative elements for curtains are not included in their length. Fringe, ruffles or satin stripes are added only after the curtains are made and hemmed. If they are taken into account along with the length of the product, the appearance of the finished curtains may not match expectations. The fringe is almost transparent and will not add the desired dimension.
Decorative elements in the form of rhinestones, stripes, etc. should be added in moderation. The abundance of such decorations can lead to pretentiousness. If the top of the canvas is decorated with elegant folds of the same material, the margin on top is larger. The fastening is done directly in the fabric.
