20 Inch Wide Curtains & Drapes: The Perfect Solution for Small Spaces

Welcome to Dolcewe.com. We've been specializing in custom size curtains for over 10 years in the home & decor industry. Today, I want to talk about 20 inch wide curtains and why they might be the perfect window treatment for your small spaces.

What are 20 Inch Wide Curtain Panels?

20 inch wide curtains are narrow window curtains designed for small windows, tight spaces, cabinet doors, and French doors. They offer several benefits:

• Light control (depending on the material, such as sheer curtains or blackout curtains)

• Privacy

• Style enhancement

They typically measure 20 inches in width per panel and come in various lengths to suit your needs.When measuring for 20 inch curtains, consider the following:

Width

• Our general guideline is to order curtain panels that are double the width of your curtain rod for a full, gathered look.
• For example, if your curtain rod is 20 inches wide, we suggest ordering two panels that are 20 inches wide each (for a total of 40 inches).
• If you prefer a flatter look with less gather, you can order panels 1.5 times the rod width.

At Doclewe, our curtains come with a default 1.5 times fullness already. You have the option to order 2 times of fullness.

Length

• For rod pocket curtains, back tab, and tab top curtain panels, measure from the top of your curtain rod to the desired endpoint.
• Provide this exact length when ordering custom curtains. We offer lengths in 1/2 inch increments for a perfect fit.
• For rod pocket curtains with a header, add an extra 1.5 inches to your length measurement to account for the header.

At Doclewe, we offer custom curtain length for all curtains. Sounds great. 

Types of 20 20-inch wide Curtains

We offer a variety of 20 inch long curtains to suit your needs:

Sheer Curtain Panels

Allow natural light to filter through, creating a soft and airy feel. Perfect for kitchen curtains, bathrooms, and bedrooms.

Room Darkening Curtains

Block out some light, providing privacy and a more subdued atmosphere. Ideal for curtains for living room and bedrooms.

Blackout Curtains

Block out most light, creating a dark environment. Great for bedroom curtains where complete darkness is desired.

Valance Curtains

Decorative toppers that add style and hide curtain rods.

Linen Curtains

Offer a textured, natural look.

Cafe Curtains

Perfect for kitchen and bathroom windows.

Popular Curtain Headers for 20 Inch Curtains

When choosing 20 inch wide curtains, consider these popular header styles:

Grommet

Metal rings are inserted into the fabric at the top of the curtain, allowing the panel to slide easily over the rod. This creates a modern, streamlined look.

Ring Top

Curtain rings are attached to the top of the panel, providing a classic and versatile style that works well with various decorating schemes.

Pinch Pleats

Fabric is pinched and sewn at the top of the curtain to create a neat, tailored appearance. This formal header style adds elegance to any room.

Rod Pockets

A sewn-in pocket at the top of the curtain allows the panel to be slid directly onto the curtain rod. This traditional style offers a gathered, full look.

Material Options For 20 Inches Drapes

We offer curtain panels in various materials, including:

Polyester

Affordable, durable, wrinkle-resistant, and available in a variety of colors and patterns.

Linen Curtains

Natural, breathable material that provides good light filtration.

Velvet

Chenille

Gauze

Styling and Hanging For 20 Inch Window Curtains

Here are some ideas for styling and hanging your 20 inch length curtains:

• Use as cafe curtains in kitchens, bathrooms, and small windows.

• Layer under or over blinds and shades for added window decor.

• Choose the right length - sill, floor, or puddle.

• Consider lining options for light blocking and a uniform outside appearance.

• Use rod pocket curtains for a classic look or grommet curtain panels for a modern style.

Buying Considerations

When shopping for 20 inch curtains, keep these things in mind:

1. Measure your window to ensure a proper fit.

2. Consider the light filtering properties you need (sheer, semi-sheer, room darkening, or blackout).

3. Choose a style that complements your décor (rod pocket, grommet, tab top, or valance).

4. Decide if you need single curtain panels or 2 panels.
