Window Draperies & Curtains

Measure your window width and multiply it by roughly one and a half to two times to achieve a fuller, more elegant drape when the curtains are closed, rather than choosing a width that exactly matches the window frame. For length, decide whether you want curtains that just touch the floor, puddle slightly, or sit above the sill, and measure from your chosen curtain rod height down to that point. Checking the specific dimensions listed on each product page against your own measurements helps avoid ordering curtains that end up too short or too narrow.

Lightweight fabrics such as cotton, linen, or sheer voile allow better airflow and suit Ghana's warm climate, helping rooms feel cooler while still providing some privacy and light filtering. Heavier fabrics like velvet or thick blackout material can make rooms feel warmer and are generally better suited to bedrooms where you want to block out light and street noise more effectively. Considering the specific room and its purpose, whether it is a breezy living room or a light-sensitive bedroom, helps guide the most suitable fabric choice.

Some curtain listings include matching tiebacks, valances, or curtain rings, while others are sold as curtain panels alone, requiring separate purchase of a rod and other hardware, so checking the full product description is important before ordering. If you are aiming for a coordinated look, looking for curtain sets or collections that explicitly mention included accessories saves you from having to source matching pieces separately. Reading the listing carefully for exactly what is included avoids any surprises when your order arrives.

Always check the care label attached to the curtains, since fabric types like sheer voile, cotton, and heavier blends often have different washing requirements, with some needing gentle hand washing or dry cleaning rather than regular machine washing. Washing curtains in cool water on a gentle cycle, then air drying or using a low heat setting, generally helps prevent shrinkage and fabric damage. Ironing on a low setting for delicate fabrics, or steaming, helps remove wrinkles without risking scorch marks, keeping your curtains looking fresh for longer.

Yes, curtains generally fall under Jumia Ghana's standard home and living return policy, allowing returns within a specified number of days from delivery provided the item is unused and still in its original packaging. Because curtain colours can sometimes appear slightly different on screen compared to in person, and sizing is easy to miscalculate, it is worth double-checking measurements and product photos carefully before ordering. To start a return, visit your order history, select the item, and follow the guided steps to request a refund or exchange.
