what curtain for single sash?

[ZoeG]

Sorry if wrong section...

external frame measures 110. Do I have 1 curtain or 2? Kinda had vague imaginings of a full length flouncy number for this Vicky terrace wood floor bedroom... Bought some curtains recently and they looked daft any suggestions?

By the time the pole or rail over stands the outside dimensions you'll be nearer 1.4 ish

So probably x 2 drapes I reckon and consider a flat blind under that if the sash can take it. However, if it's in a blind spot, like behind you as you enter the room. Then a single more tailored looking drape tied back onto the wall side works. If it's a bedroom then longer lengths that break onto the floor soften the look, too straight is an atmosphere killer.

A neat triple pinch pleat with a 3-4 finger flat gap on the header tape with give the fabric some life without looking too full or flat. If you have them made then the liner is best left unattached at the bottom, the drape hangs well this way. Though an overly heavy fabric does puff out somewhat, best a heavier liner and a lighter outer.

Choose neutrals that aren't too contrasty with the scheme, so the whole look becomes an exercise in tone and texture rather than a

"Wowwser, where did that fabric come from ?" moment

If the answer is "In a sale, I wasn't really sure at first"

then you may be in need of a front wedgie (you could be living with your decision for a fair while)

Of course these are my views, you may like other things
