SIZE
The amount of fabric you need depends on what you want to do, the size of the piece and the fabric itself. Normal fabric widths are 54". Some fabrics are less wider (48") and therefore you might need more length to complete your job. There are other fabrics that are 108" wide (sheers for windows) and you might get away by lesser length.
PATTERNS
You will need more fabric if the fabric you selected has patterns. More fabric is needed if the design repeat is larger. This is because patterns need to continue across the piece (called matching a design repeat) and to center the prominent design elements on the center of the piece that is being covered.
Please check with our trained store salespeople who will be able to help you with how much fabric you might need. Some times you might need lining and other material that might be needed to complete your project. The other material might include cords, trims, other fabric. There are many other factors

How much fabric you need depends on the size of the window. How much above and below the window you want the fabric to cover. A large factor in determining the amount of fabric is fullness factor - something that gives body (by giving extra pleating) to the window covering and enhances the look. Fullness also gives extra insulation by trapping air.

Depends on the size of the pillows, repeats, patterns etc
