Depends on how full you want them to be.
Two and a half times the width of the window is a rough guide.

Well, I'm curious about this myself, so I did a search. This should keep you
busy. 8-) Some of the sites are more for those who would sew curtains for
themselves, but the principles are still the same. About 2.5 times the width of
the window seems to be the norm.
