Measuring Curtain Widths & Sizes

Accurately measuring for curtains is a must if you want to get the right fit, when you're shopping for easy-fit ready-mades.

Curtain width measurements will depend on the length of your curtain track or pole, but measuring curtain length or 'drop' will be determined by where you'd like your drapes to end.

Use a metal tape measure for better accuracy and follow our guide on how to measure for curtains to get those dimensions right!

If you don't already have your track or pole in place, we recommend fitting one before you measure.

To fit correctly measure the width of the window plus 30/40cm (12-16"), this will ensure your curtains will comfortably cover your window. Fit your track or pole approximately 15cm (6") above your window recess and centre ensuring you have 15-20cm (6-8") either side of the window.

Selecting the correct curtain heading is the first step in defining the 'vibe' of your room. At our Mijas Costa store, the most popular choice for modern Spanish interiors is the Eyelet (Ring Top) heading. Eyelet curtains feature metal rings sewn into the top of the fabric, allowing them to slide directly onto a curtain pole. This creates large, uniform folds and offers a contemporary, minimalist look. They are incredibly easy to hang and move, making them ideal for large patio doors that lead out to terraces in Riviera del Sol or Calahonda, where you may be opening and closing them frequently throughout the day to manage the sunlight.

For a more classic or formal aesthetic, Pencil Pleat curtains are the traditional choice. These feature a tape heading that allows you to gather the fabric to your desired width, creating a series of fine, vertical pleats. Pencil pleat curtains are versatile because they can be hung on either a curtain track (using hooks) or a pole (using rings and hooks). This is often the best solution for older properties in Mijas or Marbella that may already have fixed tracks installed into the ceiling coving.

Measuring for success: One of the biggest mistakes customers make is buying curtains that are too small for the window 'stack-back.' To achieve a luxury, full look, your curtain width should be approximately double the width of your pole or track. This ensures that even when the curtains are closed, they still have a beautiful 'wave' or 'gather' rather than looking like a flat sheet of fabric. In terms of length, we offer various 'drops.' For a modern look, curtains should sit about 1cm above the floor to avoid gathering dust. However, if you are dealing with the typical marble floors found in many Costa del Sol homes, you might prefer a 'puddled' look where the fabric rests elegantly on the floor, adding a sense of height and grandeur to the room. If you are unsure, our team at the showroom is always happy to look at your window measurements and help you calculate the exact fullness required for a professional finish.

Living on the Costa del Sol means dealing with over 300 days of sunshine a year. While we all love the light, the intense UV rays can quickly fade your furniture, artwork, and flooring. This is where Blackout Lined Curtains become an essential investment. Unlike standard thin curtains, blackout versions feature a specialized coating or a dense middle layer of fabric that blocks out 99% of external light. This is not just for late sleepers; it is a game-changer for holiday rentals where guests might be trying to adjust to a new time zone, or for families with young children who need to nap during the bright afternoon sun.

Beyond light control, there is the crucial factor of Thermal Insulation. Many people associate thermal curtains with keeping the heat in during a British winter, but in Andalusia, they are equally effective at keeping the heat out. A high-quality thermal lining acts as a radiant barrier. During the height of July and August, keeping your thermal curtains closed during the hottest part of the day can significantly reduce the internal temperature of your home, potentially lowering your air conditioning costs.

In the winter months, particularly in hillside areas like El Coto or Mijas Golf, the nights can become quite chilly. Traditional Spanish homes often struggle with heat loss through large glass patio doors. Thermal curtains provide an extra layer of insulation that prevents the warmth from escaping, making your living room feel much cozier without having to blast the heater. At Yorkshire Linen Beds & More, many of our ready-made curtains come pre-lined with these high-performance materials. If you prefer a lighter decorative fabric, we also stock separate blackout linings that can be attached to your existing curtains. Investing in lined curtains is one of the most cost-effective ways to manage the micro-climate of your home while protecting your interior decor from sun damage.

The coastal environment of the Costa del Sol presents unique challenges for home textiles, including salt air, high humidity, and intense UV exposure. To ensure your curtains remain as vibrant and fresh as the day you hung them, a regular maintenance routine is essential. We always recommend a 'low and slow' approach to cleaning. Most of our ready-made polyester and poly-cotton blend curtains are machine washable on a delicate 30°C cycle. However, you should always check the specific care label first.

Top Tip for Washing: Before placing eyelet curtains in the machine, it is a good idea to tie the eyelets together with a piece of string or place the top section of the curtain inside a pillowcase. This prevents the metal rings from banging against the drum of the machine, which can cause damage to both the rings and your appliance. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach at all costs, as the Spanish sun is already a natural bleaching agent; adding chemicals will only accelerate the breakdown of the fabric fibers.

Drying and Hanging: Never tumble dry your curtains. The heat can cause the linings to shrink at a different rate than the face fabric, leading to 'puckered' seams. The best way to dry curtains is to hang them back on the pole while they are still slightly damp. The weight of the fabric will help pull out any minor creases naturally. If they do require ironing, always iron on the reverse side (the lining side) using a cool setting.

For homes in high-humidity areas near the sea in Fuengirola or Estepona, we suggest occasionally vacuuming your curtains using the upholstery attachment. This removes dust and microscopic salt particles that can settle in the folds. Salt is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts moisture from the air, which can lead to mustiness if left unchecked. By giving your curtains a quick vacuum once a month and a gentle wash once a year, you will keep the colors bright and the fabric supple. If you’re ever in doubt about a specific fabric, such as velvet or heavy embroidery, feel free to drop into our Mijas Costa shop for professional care advice from our experienced staff.

When you step into a room, the curtains are often the first thing that catches your eye. They provide the vertical "pillar" of colour and texture that frames your view of the Mediterranean. At Yorkshire Linen Beds & More, our Ready-Made Curtains collection is curated to bridge the gap between bespoke luxury and high-street convenience. In the bright, white-walled architecture common in Mijas and Marbella, a well-chosen curtain adds much-needed warmth and character, transforming a house into a home.

The Impact of Texture and Material
The choice of fabric dictates the "mood" of your living space. For a formal dining room or a master suite, heavy Jacquard fabrics or rich Chenilles offer a sense of grandeur and traditional elegance. These materials have a natural weight that ensures they hang beautifully with deep, consistent folds. If you prefer a more contemporary, "Scandi-Spanish" aesthetic, our Faux Linen and Cotton-blend curtains provide a crisp, clean look that complements modern minimalist furniture. These lighter textures are particularly effective in smaller apartments, where heavy drapes might feel overwhelming, yet you still require the privacy and framing that only a curtain can provide.

Colour Palettes for the Costa del Sol
In Southern Spain, colour choice is as much about physics as it is about fashion. While deep navies, charcoals, and forest greens look stunning and provide excellent light blockage, they do absorb more heat. At Yorkshire Linen, we stock an extensive range of Cool Neutrals—silvers, creams, "greige," and soft champagnes—which help keep your rooms feeling airy and light while reflecting a portion of the solar energy. For those who want to bring the outside in, our floral and botanical prints are a perennial favourite, echoing the vibrant bougainvillaea and lush gardens of the Andalusian coast.

The Convenience of Ready-Made Sizing
One of the biggest advantages of our collection is the ability to walk into our Mijas or Marbella stores and leave with a complete window transformation the same day. Our curtains come in a vast array of standard widths (such as 46", 66", and 90") and drops (54", 72", 90", and 108"). For the grander villas with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, we specialize in Extra-Wide and Extra-Long curtains, ensuring that you don't have to settle for "half-dressed" windows or the high cost and long wait times of custom-made drapes.

In the intense climate of the Costa del Sol, a curtain has to do a lot more than just look pretty. It is a functional barrier that protects your home from the three main "disrupters" of sleep and comfort: Heat, Light, and Noise.

Blackout Curtains for the Ultimate Lie-In
If you have ever tried to sleep through a bright Spanish sunrise at 6:00 AM, you know the value of Blackout technology. Modern blackout curtains are no longer stiff or rubbery; they use a "triple-weave" technique where a high-density black yarn is sandwiched between two layers of decorative fabric. This allows the curtain to remain soft and supple while blocking up to 99% of external light. This is an absolute "must-have" for guest bedrooms and holiday rentals, ensuring that your visitors can enjoy a long, undisturbed sleep regardless of how bright the morning sun is.

Thermal Insulation for Summer and Winter
Many people are surprised to learn that curtains are just as important in the summer as they are in the winter. Thermal-lined curtains act like a thermos flask for your room. In the summer, the specialized lining reflects the sun's infrared radiation back out through the window, preventing your living room from becoming a greenhouse. In the winter, when the marble floors of a Spanish villa feel cold, these same curtains trap a layer of air between the glass and the room, preventing heat loss. This dual-action performance makes high-quality curtains one of the most effective ways to lower your energy bills year-round.

Acoustic Insulation and Privacy
Living in a popular area like La Cala de Mijas or near the Golden Mile in Marbella often comes with the background hum of coastal life. The dense fibers of our heavier curtains—particularly those with velvet or chenille finishes—act as sound absorbers. They help dampen the "echo" inside rooms with tiled floors and reduce the infiltration of street noise. Furthermore, a heavy curtain provides total evening privacy; once the sun goes down and your interior lights are on, a thick curtain ensures that your home remains your private sanctuary, with no shadows or silhouettes visible from the outside.

The way a curtain is constructed at the top (the "header") determines how it hangs, how it moves, and which type of pole or track it requires. Understanding these styles is key to achieving that professional, interior-designed look.

Eyelet Curtains: The Modern Choice
Eyelet (or Ring-Top) curtains are incredibly popular for a reason. Featuring large metal rings sewn into the fabric, they slide directly onto a curtain pole. This creates wide, soft, contemporary folds that look effortless. They are the ideal choice for large patio doors that are opened and closed frequently, as there are no hooks to snag or break. Our eyelets are reinforced to ensure they don't pull through the fabric, even with our heaviest thermal-lined drapes.

Pencil Pleat: Classic and Customizable
For those who prefer a more traditional or formal look, Pencil Pleat curtains are the standard. These feature a tape header with three rows of string that you pull to create tight, uniform pleats that look like a row of pencils. The beauty of pencil pleats is their versatility; you can adjust the width of the curtain slightly by how much you pull the strings, and they can be hung on either a traditional curtain pole (using rings and hooks) or a discreet curtain track.

Achieving the Perfect "Puddling" or "Clearance"
A common question we receive in our showrooms is: "How long should my curtains be?"

• The "Float": Curtains hang about 1cm above the floor. This is the most practical for cleaning and prevents the bottom of the fabric from gathering dust.
• The "Kiss": The fabric just touches the floor. This requires very precise measuring but looks incredibly sleek.
• The "Puddle": The curtain is 5-10cm longer than the floor, allowing the fabric to gather in a luxurious heap. This looks stunning with high-quality, heavy fabrics in formal rooms, but is less practical for high-traffic areas.

At Yorkshire Linen Beds & More, we don't just sell you a product; we provide the expertise to ensure your windows are a masterpiece. With over 12,000 products and a deep understanding of the Spanish property market, we are here to help you find the perfect curtains for your "place in paradise."
