Curtain measurement

Really stupid question but I’m useless at this stuff. If my window is 7ft across which width curtains do I need? I want 90 drop but unsure of how wide they need to be.

Ideally double the width, don't go less than 1.5 times the width as they'll look skimpy

You'll need to double check the store you're buying from but usually the width they give is for one curtain and in total you'll ideally want double the width of your window as stated above. So 210cm in your case should do it as 2 x 210cm is about 14 feet.

Thanks for the replies, it’s 66” .or 90” I was thinking to go for the 66 but looks like I need 90x90 then?

Normally between 1 and a half and 2 and a half times the width.

7 feet = 210 cm so between 3m and 5.25 m.

90 inches (180 for both curtains) comes out at about 4 and a half metres, and sounds about right.
