Single Panel vs Pair of Curtains

Decide whether a single curtain panel or a pair of panels makes more sense for your window size and layout.

A single panel can work for narrow windows, asymmetrical layouts, or doors. A pair of curtains is more common for centered windows because it balances the fabric on both sides.

Use a Single Panel When

• The window is narrow.
• Furniture blocks one side.
• You want the panel to stack to one side.

Use a Pair When

• The window is centered in the room.
• You want the curtains to open from the middle.
• You need more combined fabric width.

Measure Your Window

Use the curtain size calculator to turn your measurements into curtain width, panel count, rod width, and length recommendations before you order.
