For Rod Pocket & Grommet Top Curtains:
For curtains without rings, measure from the top of the rod (or where you think you will mount a rod) to the floor.
For Contemporary & Pleated Curtains:
For curtains that utilize curtain rings, measure from the bottom of the ring (or where you think the ring will hang) 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 (you can see the difference in the diagram below).
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. 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.
