Understanding Fullness Ratios

Fullness ratio compares fabric width to window width. A two-metre wide window with four metres of fabric has 2:1 fullness. More fabric creates deeper folds.

1.5:1 fullness is minimum for decent appearance. A two-metre window needs three metres of fabric. This creates basic folds. Suitable for very casual spaces only.

2:1 fullness is standard. Most curtains use this ratio. It creates nice folds without excessive fabric cost. A two-metre window needs four metres of fabric.

2.5:1 to 3:1 fullness is luxury. Very rich folds. Suits formal spaces and high-end interiors. More expensive due to extra fabric. A two-metre window needs five to six metres of fabric.

When to Call a Professional

Calculating correct fabric amounts requires expertise. Too little looks skimpy. Too much creates awkward bulk. Professionals calculate precise requirements based on your window size and chosen heading style.
