Cafe curtain FAQ
Common questions
What is a cafe curtain?
A cafe curtain is usually a short curtain that covers part of a window, often the lower half, so the room keeps daylight while gaining privacy.
Can cafe curtains be used on a tension rod?
Yes, many cafe curtains work well with tension rods when the product uses rod pocket or tension-rod pocket processing.
How full should cafe curtains be?
For a soft gathered look, choose about 1.5x to 2x the actual rod width unless the product page recommends a different ratio.
