Gingham Curtains: Custom Checks for Every Window

At Dolcewe.com, we love gingham curtains! We have made custom curtains for over 10 years. Our prices start at just $26.99. Gingham is one of our most popular styles.

Let's explore why these checked wonders might be perfect for your home!

What Are Gingham Curtain Panels?

A Timeless Pattern

Gingham is a fabric with checks. It has squares made from two colors. One color is usually white. The other can be any color. The checks can be small or large. Gingham has been popular for hundreds of years.

Gingham came from Malaysia. Then it went to Europe in the 1600s. At first, gingham had stripes! Later, it changed to checks. Now, we see gingham checks everywhere. From Dorothy's dress in The Wizard of Oz to modern home decor.

Why People Love Gingham

Gingham is happy and bright. It works in many rooms. It never really goes out of style. The pattern is simple but fun. It can look country or modern. It all depends on the colors and how you use it.

Materials That Matter

We offer many types of gingham curtain fabric:

• 100% Cotton: Soft and natural. Good for most rooms.
• Cotton-Poly Blend: Easy to clean. Less wrinkles.
• Linen Gingham: Light and airy. Has a nice texture.
• Organic Cotton: Safe, with no harsh chemicals.

All our fabrics pass Oeko-Tex tests. This means they are safe for your family. No bad chemicals!

How Gingham Feels

The feel of your curtain matters. Cotton gingham is soft. Linen gingham has more texture. Poly blends feel smoother. We can send you samples to touch before you buy.

How Long Will They Last?

Gingham curtains can last many years. Cotton and poly blends resist fading. If you pick blackout gingham, it will block light for years. We use strong thread and good hems. Your curtains will stay nice for a long time.

Check Sizes and Colors

Gingham comes in different check sizes:

5. Measure from the rod to that point.

Length Options

You can have your curtains end at the:

• Below the sill (apron length)

Width Choices

For the best look, your curtains should be 1.5-2 times wider than your window. This gives nice folds when closed.

At Dolcewe, our curtains come with a default 1.5x fullnes. Customers can always opt for 2x fullness for better look. No complicated calculation needed.

Picking the Right Header

Your rod and how often you open the curtains matters:
