Please help! Will these curtains be ok?

I'm decorating DS's room and he's chosen some black and white chevron curtains from Very.

The curtain pole above his window is 220cm.

The description says to select a single curtain size of 168cm to fit a pole upto 229cm or a single curtain size of 229cm to fit a curtain pole of 305cm.

They only have the curtains left in the 229cm option (the single curtain size).

If I pick these ones, will two curtains of 229cm look terrible on a window of 220cm?
They are a 90" drop and eyelet curtains if that makes a differnce.
Thank you Smile

I think they’ll just be very full. Probably still fine though?
Have you done a reverse image search to see if they’re available anywhere else?

Of course they’ll be fine. The pole is only 10cm shorter that the recommendation for the bigger size. That’s 5cm each side, it’s nothing. I’d have bought the wider ones anyway as I hate skimpy curtains.

They'll look fine. Fuller curtains look expensive whereas if you go the other way it looks as if you're scrimping.
