Curtains are one of the last things installed — but timing matters. Planning them early helps avoid rework and ensures a cleaner result.

When to measure

  • After flooring is completed
  • After ceiling or false ceiling is fixed
  • When window size fully confirmed

When to install

  • After painting (final coat)
  • Before final styling or move-in
  • After major carpentry work and dust work are done
