Preparing your curtain order

Ordering curtains online naturally raises questions. Whether you choose a standard size or a custom-made curtain to the exact dimensions of your window, the measurements, the choice of fastening, and the color must be accurate.

That's precisely why we created these guides: to transform every source of hesitation into certainty. Our customers who consult at least one guide before ordering have a higher satisfaction rate and make fewer calls on the Exact-Fit Guarantee.

The measurements: the most important step

The main question when buying curtains concerns the dimensions. "Will the standard size fit my window? And if I order custom-made, how can I be sure I won't make a mistake?" Our measuring guide details the 3 simple steps to get your measurements with a simple tape measure, and how to compare them to standard sizes or use them for a custom order.

The fixing: a technical choice that should not be an obstacle

Eyelets, gathering tape, rod clips, loops. Each type of fastener corresponds to a specific type of curtain rod. The problem is that most shoppers don't know what type of rod they have at home. Our fastener guide solves this problem in 30 seconds with real photos of each configuration.

Color: an aesthetic choice guided by your interior

Choosing a curtain color from a screen is never easy. The final look depends on your lighting, wall color, and furniture. Our color guide provides concrete recommendations for each room type, and if you're still unsure, we'll send you free samples so you can see for yourself in real-life conditions.

And what if, despite everything, you're wrong?

That's what the Kurtens Exact-Fit Guarantee (€29.90) is for: if you've ordered a custom-made curtain and the dimensions aren't right, we'll remake it free of charge. Over 12% of our custom customers use it.
