IKEA Curtain Sizes: Perfect Fit for Every Window

By Kevin SmithFebruary 6, 2026

When it comes to transforming your space, the right curtains can make a world of difference. IKEA, renowned for its affordable and stylish home solutions, offers a wide range of curtain sizes to cater to various window measurements. Let's delve into the world of IKEA curtain sizes to help you make an informed decision.

Before we dive into the specifics, it's essential to understand that IKEA curtain sizes are typically measured in centimeters, and they usually come in two parts: width and drop (length). The width refers to the curtain's breadth when it's fully extended, while the drop is the curtain's length from the top to the bottom.

Understanding IKEA Curtain Sizes

IKEA offers curtains in various sizes, from narrow to extra wide, and short to extra long. This variety ensures that you can find the perfect fit for your windows, whether they're small, standard, or extra-large.

To help you navigate the IKEA curtain size chart, we've categorized them based on their width and drop. Remember, these sizes are inclusive, meaning they can accommodate a range of window measurements.

Curtain Widths

IKEA curtains come in the following widths: 100 cm, 120 cm, 140 cm, 160 cm, 180 cm, 200 cm, 220 cm, 240 cm, 260 cm, and 280 cm. The width you choose depends on the breadth of your window and whether you want your curtains to extend beyond the window frame.

For example, if your window is 120 cm wide, you might choose a 140 cm or 160 cm wide curtain to allow for some overlap on either side. Conversely, if you want your curtains to be fitted, you could opt for a width that's slightly less than your window's breadth.

Curtain Drops

When it comes to curtain drops, IKEA offers sizes ranging from 120 cm to 300 cm. The drop you choose depends on the height of your window and whether you want your curtains to puddle on the floor or end just above it.

For instance, if your window is 180 cm tall, you might choose a 240 cm drop to allow for a 60 cm puddle at the bottom. Alternatively, if you prefer a more streamlined look, you could opt for a 180 cm drop that ends just above the floor.

Choosing the Right Curtain Size for Your Window

Measuring your window accurately is crucial for selecting the perfect IKEA curtain size. Here's a simple guide to help you:

1. **Width**: Measure the width of your window frame, including any molding. If you want your curtains to extend beyond the frame, add the desired overlap to both sides.

2. **Drop**: Measure the height of your window from the top of the frame to where you want the curtain to end. If you want your curtains to puddle on the floor, add the desired puddle length to this measurement.

Accounting for Curtain Headings and Rods

Don't forget to consider the height of your curtain heading (the top part of the curtain that holds it up) and the curtain rod when measuring the drop. Most IKEA curtains come with a standard heading height of 15 cm, but this can vary. Similarly, curtain rods can add anywhere from 5 cm to 15 cm to the overall height.

To ensure a perfect fit, subtract the combined height of your heading and rod from your measured drop before selecting your IKEA curtain size.
