I am in the middle of decorating the nursery for out baby that's due in 2 and a half weeks. I've just measured the window, and it's 84" x 44.5". Can someone tell me what size curtains I need please?

Thanks and hope everyone had a lovely Christmas.

    Depending on how full you want them, it is usually 1.5-2x the width & the drop plus the height of the curtain rail.

    I'd do exactly the same...1.5 to 2 times the width then the drop needs to take the height of the rail into consideration

    Readymade are usually 66" or 90" wide - I'd go for the latter (66" would be OK to dress the window if you were having a blind too, but wouldn't have enough gather.)
    Lengthwise, 54" and 60" are nearest.
