Tips on selecting your curtains
Curtains are a personal style statement, a reflection of taste they add colour and also personality to a room.
Bear in mind the hints below for a perfect look to your windows .
- Consider style and the role of your window dressings. Choose a lined curtain to protect the fabric, interlining will help even more and add lustre to the look and feel of the curtain.
- To help even more to block out light in a bedroom or Baby's room then select black out linings this will also improve privacy.
- Colour and texture is important - after spending time and money decorating, heavily textured or brightly patterned curtains could be the finishing touch to getting your room just right don't be afraid of using colour.
- Don't just buy off the shelf it may save money but badly fitting curtains won't always be fit for purpose, a blind which hangs away from the window sill or ill fitting curtains which don't hang right spoil the finish to your room.
- Our bespoke made to measure service allows you to consider how you would like curtains to be hung. Simple gathered curtains on a rail may be dated but could be right for some applications, Pinch pleat curtains are very traditional and make curtains hang very nicely. Eyelet curtains with a pole or wave curtains on a track gives a modern contemporary look. Choose carefully the combination of fabric and shape for your room.
- Just as important as the curtains are the poles or tracks you hang them on. Select a sturdy pole which will take the weight of your curtain without bending - more decorative poles look good with eyelet curtains and pinch pleat curtains. Tracks come in a variety of styles that can be hand drawn or corded to make drawing curtains easy, electric controlled tracks are not only a touch of luxury also security with your curtains pulling when your home is un-occupied. We offer advise on all types of curtain tracks.
- Don't forget accessories, like cushions, tie backs, table runners, bed covers and throws all add the finishing touch to room settings.
