Curtains that stop a few centimetres short look like trousers that have shrunk in the wash. Curtains that are far too long drag on the marble, collect dust and get caught in the robot vacuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how long should curtains be? This guide covers the main lengths, which rooms suit each one, how high to hang the track or pole, standard sizes in centimetres, and how to measure for each heading in a typical UAE home with gypsum ceilings, tiled floors and sliding balcony doors. If you are still choosing a style, browse our <a href=\"\/curtains\/\">made-to-measure curtains<\/a> first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group sat-box sat-quick\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"sat-box-label\">Quick view<\/span>For most living rooms and bedrooms, curtains should be floor length, finishing about 1 cm above the floor. Sill-length curtains stop just above the sill and suit kitchens and windows above furniture. Puddled curtains add 5 to 10 cm on the floor for a formal look. Hang the track 10 to 15 cm above the window, or close to the ceiling, and measure from the track.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<nav class=\"sat-toc\" aria-label=\"Table of contents\"><strong>In this guide<\/strong><ol><li><a href=\"#lengths\">The main curtain lengths<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#which-room\">Which length for which room<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#how-high\">How high to hang curtains<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#ceiling-heights\">Curtain length by ceiling height<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#standard-sizes\">Standard curtain sizes in cm<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#measure\">How to measure the length<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#headings\">Measuring for each heading<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#uae-homes\">Details in UAE homes<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#mistakes\">Common mistakes<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq\">FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ol><\/nav>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lengths\">The main curtain lengths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Length<\/th><th>Where the hem sits<\/th><th>Look<\/th><th>Good to know<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Floor length (float)<\/td><td>About 1 cm above the floor<\/td><td>Clean and tailored<\/td><td>The safest choice for most rooms<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Touching (kiss)<\/td><td>Just touches the floor<\/td><td>Smart, slightly softer<\/td><td>Needs a level floor to look even<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Break<\/td><td>2 to 3 cm on the floor, a gentle bend<\/td><td>Relaxed<\/td><td>Works with soft, mid-weight fabrics<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Puddled<\/td><td>5 to 10 cm on the floor<\/td><td>Formal and generous<\/td><td>Collects dust; not for busy rooms<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sill length<\/td><td>About 1 cm above the sill<\/td><td>Neat and practical<\/td><td>Only where the window has a sill<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Below sill (apron)<\/td><td>10 to 15 cm below the sill<\/td><td>Cosy, covers the frame<\/td><td>Needs clear wall below the window<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Floor length is the default for good reason. The hem clears the floor so it stays clean and moves easily, but there is no visible gap. From across the room, a 1 cm clearance just looks like the curtain meets the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"which-room\">Which length suits which room?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Living rooms and majlis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Floor length works almost everywhere. In a formal majlis or a villa dining room, a slight puddle or a hem that just touches the floor can look generous, especially with heavier fabrics and <a href=\"\/curtains\/pinch-pleat-curtains\/\">pinch pleat curtains<\/a>. For more ideas, read our guide to <a href=\"\/living-room-curtains-dubai\/\">living room curtains in Dubai<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bedrooms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Floor length, almost always. If you want a dark room, the curtain needs to go past the window by a good margin at the top, the sides and the bottom. Curtains that stop at the sill let light spill out underneath. Many bedrooms here use a sheer and a blackout layer together, such as <a href=\"\/curtains\/wave-sheer-blackout-curtains\/\">wave sheer and blackout curtains<\/a> on a double track, so you get soft daylight and a dark room from one window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kitchens, bathrooms and windows above furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sill length or a blind is more practical here. Long curtains near a hob or a sink get splashed or stained. Over a desk, a bed head or a built-in unit, sill length keeps the fabric out of the way. In many UAE kitchens, <a href=\"\/blinds\/roller-blinds\/\">a roller blind<\/a> is simply easier to live with than any curtain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sliding doors and balconies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Floor length, with the full 1 cm clearance or a little more. The hem must clear the door track and the raised threshold, and a balcony door lets in fine sand that a puddled hem would sweep up. Check that the curtain stacks fully clear of the door when open, so it does not catch as you step out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children\u2019s rooms and homes with pets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stick to floor length with the full 1 cm clearance, or even 1.5 cm. Puddled curtains are tempting to pull and easy to trip on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group sat-box sat-insight\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"sat-box-label\">Al Satayir insight<\/span>In new apartments in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, floors are often not perfectly level from one side of a long window to the other. On our visits we measure the drop at several points and make the curtain to suit, so the hem looks straight even when the floor is not.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-high\">How high to hang curtains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Length depends on where the curtains start. Hanging the track or pole higher than the window makes the ceiling look taller and the window look bigger. As a guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Standard:<\/strong> 10 to 15 cm above the top of the window frame.<\/li><li><strong>Tall look:<\/strong> halfway between the window and the ceiling, or right up to it.<\/li><li><strong>Ceiling track:<\/strong> fixed directly to the ceiling, often inside a gypsum curtain pocket. This is the usual choice for wave curtains on floor-to-ceiling glass.<\/li><li><strong>Width:<\/strong> extend the track 15 to 25 cm past each side of the window so the curtains can open fully without covering the glass.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ceiling-heights\">Curtain length by ceiling height<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most UAE homes fall into a few ceiling heights. The table shows where we would usually fix the track and what that means for the finished length. The exact figure always comes from measuring your own track, because track depth and heading style change it by a few centimetres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Ceiling height<\/th><th>Typical home<\/th><th>Where to fix the track<\/th><th>Finished curtain length<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>About 2.4 m<\/td><td>Older apartments, lowered gypsum ceilings<\/td><td>On the ceiling, so the room feels taller<\/td><td>Ceiling height less the track and about 1 cm clearance<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>About 2.6 to 2.8 m<\/td><td>Most newer apartments and townhouses<\/td><td>Ceiling or curtain pocket<\/td><td>Roughly 2.5 to 2.75 m, measured from the track<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>About 3 m<\/td><td>Villas, penthouses<\/td><td>Ceiling track, or a pole well above the frame<\/td><td>Just under 3 m; heavier fabric hangs straighter<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Double height, 4.5 m and above<\/td><td>Villa living rooms and stairwells<\/td><td>Ceiling track, often motorised<\/td><td>A long drop: lined fabric and weighted hems help<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For tall drops, <a href=\"\/motorised\/motorised-curtains\/\">motorised curtains<\/a> save a lot of pulling, and the motor needs the hem to clear the floor so it runs smoothly. Our guide to <a href=\"\/motorised-curtains-dubai\/\">motorised curtains in Dubai<\/a> covers power and track choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"standard-sizes\">Standard curtain sizes in cm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the advice online quotes ready-made lengths in inches. Here they are in centimetres, so you can compare them with your own measurement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Ready-made length<\/th><th>In centimetres<\/th><th>Usually suits<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>63 in<\/td><td>About 160 cm<\/td><td>Sill or below-sill length on smaller windows<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>84 in<\/td><td>About 213 cm<\/td><td>Floor length only with a low track and low ceiling<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>95 to 96 in<\/td><td>About 241 to 244 cm<\/td><td>Floor length under a 2.4 to 2.5 m ceiling<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>108 in<\/td><td>About 274 cm<\/td><td>Floor length from a ceiling track in many apartments<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>120 in<\/td><td>About 305 cm<\/td><td>Villas and high ceilings<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ready-made curtains come in these fixed drops, so they rarely match a UAE ceiling exactly. If your measurement falls between two sizes, the shorter one leaves a visible gap and the longer one needs hemming. Made-to-measure curtains are cut to your exact drop, which is why the hem lines up first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"measure\">How to measure the length<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fit the track or pole first if you can. If not, mark exactly where it will go.<\/li><li>Measure from the track or pole down to the floor (see the heading table below for the exact starting point).<\/li><li>Measure at the left, the middle and the right of the window.<\/li><li>Use the shortest figure for floor length, so no part of the hem drags.<\/li><li>Take off about 1 cm for floor length. For a puddle, add 5 to 10 cm instead.<\/li><li>Write down the heading style, because each one sits slightly differently on the hardware.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same habits apply to blinds: measure in millimetres, at several points, and never assume two windows are the same. Our guide on <a href=\"\/how-to-measure-for-blinds\/\">how to measure for blinds<\/a> explains this step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"headings\">Measuring for each heading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Heading<\/th><th>Hangs from<\/th><th>Measure from<\/th><th>Watch out for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Wave<\/td><td>Track with gliders<\/td><td>Top of the track<\/td><td>The heading stands slightly above the track to hide it<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pinch pleat on a track<\/td><td>Hooks in gliders<\/td><td>Top of the track to hide it, or the bottom to show it<\/td><td>Decide which before ordering<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pinch pleat on a pole<\/td><td>Rings<\/td><td>The eye of the ring, where the hook goes<\/td><td>Rings add a few centimetres of drop<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Eyelet<\/td><td>Pole through the eyelets<\/td><td>Top of the pole<\/td><td>A band of fabric sits above the pole; add it<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pencil pleat<\/td><td>Hooks on a track or rings<\/td><td>Top of the track or ring eye<\/td><td>Tape position changes the final height<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are still deciding between headings, our comparison of <a href=\"\/wave-vs-pinch-pleat-curtains\/\">wave vs pinch pleat curtains<\/a> explains how each one looks and stacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group sat-box sat-tip\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"sat-box-label\">Pro tip<\/span>If the floor is still to be tiled or carpeted, wait or ask what thickness it will be. A new marble floor or a rug can raise the floor by 1 to 2 cm, which is enough to turn a perfect floor-length curtain into one that drags.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alsatayir.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ws-02-grey-diningroom.png\" alt=\"Floor-length sheer curtains hanging from a ceiling track in a dining area\" class=\"wp-image-12956\" width=\"1473\" height=\"1221\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alsatayir.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ws-02-grey-diningroom.png 1473w, https:\/\/alsatayir.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ws-02-grey-diningroom-300x249.png 300w, https:\/\/alsatayir.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ws-02-grey-diningroom-1024x849.png 1024w, https:\/\/alsatayir.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ws-02-grey-diningroom-768x637.png 768w, https:\/\/alsatayir.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ws-02-grey-diningroom-600x497.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1473px) 100vw, 1473px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sheers on a ceiling track, finishing just above the floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"uae-homes\">Details in UAE homes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>What you will find<\/th><th>What it means for length<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Gypsum ceilings with curtain pockets<\/td><td>Measure from the top of the pocket track, not the ceiling surface<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Marble and porcelain floors<\/td><td>Hard floors show every centimetre; keep the 1 cm clearance even<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sliding balcony doors<\/td><td>Hem must clear the threshold and door track<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Split AC units above windows<\/td><td>Leave space for airflow; the track may need to sit lower or further out<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Very tall villa windows<\/td><td>Long drops can sway; heavier hems and lining help them hang straight<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dust and sand<\/td><td>Puddled hems collect dust quickly; floor length is easier to keep clean<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Natural fabrics such as linen can relax or tighten a little with changes in humidity and air conditioning.
