Well when you measure blinds you measure inside the windoseal wall to wall. For curtains it all depends how far you want them to pass the windo vertically and horozontally First you need to decide where you would like your curtains to end in relation to your floor. Floor length curtains sit directly on the floor (order them 1 inch shorter if you would like for them hang slightly off the floor), trouser length panels "break" on the floor (add 1 -2 inches to the order length of your panels), and puddle length curtains form soft folds on the floor (add 6 - 7 inches to the order length of your panels). In addition, you will also need to consider your drapery hardware. For example, if you already have a drapery rod in place and would like floor length panels, simply measure from the base of the ring to the floor. For rod pocket curtains (no rings), measure from the top of the rod to the floor. If you do not have a rod in place already, remember the higher you mount your rod, the higher your window and ceilings will appear. I prefer to mount drapery rods several inches above the window. In most cases I will take the distance between my window frame and crown molding (or ceiling), divide it in half, and go a few inches above my half mark as I do not like even spaces above and below the rod (just a designer pet peeve I suppose). Of course, if you have extremely high ceilings, this rule changes. Try taking a long piece of blue painter's tape and making a line above your window on your wall where you think you will hang your rod, how does it look? Move it up a bit and take another look. Additionally, I like my rods to project atleast 4 -6 inches beyond the window frame on each side (if there are no obstacles) to allow my curtains to hang outside the window and give the appearance of a larger window.

Why is it so hard to find normal length curtains like 42 or 54?
Ran across your question in a desperate google search for normal length curtains. I've looked at Target, Tuesday Morning, Bed, Bath and Beyond, and Pier One. I've looked online at West Elm, Overstock.com, etc. The results are beautiful designer floor-length curtains or normal curtains in white or off-white. Seriously. Best I can figure is that some editor at Architecture Digest has deemed normal curtains to be only suitable for paupers. HELLO, buyers for every department store: I have 4 pets. I do not wish to spend every weekend laundering my curtains. Please give us a break on the floor-length curtains!

How do you measure walls of a room in square footage?
The length times the height of the wall will give you the square footage of that wall. Do that for both the long and short walls, and multiply the result by two. If the room is square, just measure one wall, find the square footage, and multiply by four. Don't forget to measure the length and height of any doors and windows, and subtract the total from the area of the walls.
