Stupid question about curtains...

[snowboarder]

Sorry, I'm going to sound dense here, but I know someone on here will be able to advise!

We have a really wide 173cm window in my son's room. The John Lewis ready made curtains I like are 165cm wide. But on the blurb about curtains it says "While our curtains are sold in pairs, the dimensions on the pack refer to each individual curtain. The total width of both curtains should be two to two and a half times the width of the track or pole".

Do you reckon in that case I'd get away with them? So they're actually 165cm each curtain?? Am totally confused and not up for spending made to measure kind of money (and they don't do this print in made to measure...)

I think you would be ok with this. I have had john lewis curtains made to measure before and in my opinion the 2.5 widths they do is a bit excessive especially if it is a blackout lining - I think you would get away with a smidgen under double width. Good luck.

I agree that should be fine.
