CURTAINS TO MATCH YOUR UPHOLSTERY

Would you like  your Curtains to match your dining seat covers, if so we can provide this small upholstery service to enhance the co-ordination of the fabrics in your room.  Let your windows make a statement to create a stylish atmosphere. Also windows can be dressed with a blind and curtains, so that during the daytime you can light adjust the blind which can be treated with a blackout finish to help prevent light leakage.  If the window also has a pelmet it is possible to have a roller blind so that when this is adjusted it can hide behind the pelmet and then be lowered to any position.

From elegant to contemporary designs to classic and traditional styles, we have something to suit every taste and budget. With an extensive selection of colours, patterns and textures, you can find the perfect curtains and blinds to transform your room into a haven of beauty and comfort

THE ADVANTAGE OF VOILE CURTAINS

When it comes to the benefits of Voile Curtains, they strike a perfect balance between privacy and natural light; Choose from classic white or coloured voile fabric and they will compliment various interior styles and work well in living rooms, bedrooms and even kitchens. Voile curtains can be pulled across the window to give a soft draped finish as despite their sheer appearance they really do give privacy. Heavier curtains can also be used so that the voiles can be left in place and the heavier curtains can be pulled across the window in the evening to keep the room cosy. Voile curtains do not need expensive dry cleaning, simply put each curtain into the washing machine, so as not to overload and cause creasing, set to a delicate short wash if possible 15 minutes, do not put into a tumble dryer, as once they are carefully washed they will remain crisp and fresh and can be rehung into the windows.

CURTAINS OR BLINDS

Are you unsure whether to choose Curtains or Blinds for your windows? Both can give you different options. The Blinds can be light adjusted to cut out the glare from the sun when working at a computer or watching television and in the evening offer security whilst in the winter  you may prefer to add a cosy look to your room by drawing the curtains.

When planning your home decor, there are so many different fabrics to choose from, plain or patterned in a vast range of colours and finishes depending on your room. Roller blinds are very practical for kitchens, bathrooms and offices. Roman Blinds pulled up into folds for a small window give extra interest, and Perfect Fit Blinds are suitable for upvc doors and windows as they clip into the frame without any screws. Many newbuild houses have bay windows, and the most popular blinds are still Vertical or Venetian in pure white. Curtains with eyelets can be hung on an attractive pole, or if you prefer pinch pleat curtains hung on tracking with an attractive matching or contrast Pelmet give a  more traditional decor.

CUSTOM MADE CURTAINS



Custom made curtains, accurately measured to fit your windows and/or doors; large range of beautiful quality fabrics with a selection of poles. The curtain lining can be blackout (natural colour linings, not black!) to add security and cut out the light when the curtains are drawn or if they are partly drawn to reduce sunlight and glare. Tie-backs in matching fabric or tassels can be supplied to give a beautiful drape to the curtains when they are pulled back.

For added security and light control to your patio doors, add a vertical blind in a sheer textured fabric,  bright white or soft colours to suit your room decor

BLACKOUT  BLINDs AND CURTAINS

Are the light nights keeping you awake or are you waking up too early in the morning?  The answer is to have Blackout blinds or Curtains with blackout lining to keep the room dark.  The blackout treatment cannot be seen, and the curtain lining is the normal natural colour but blackout treated. The other advantage is that you may be watching TV or using your computer and the light is reflecting on the screen, well all you need to do is close the blinds sufficient to deflect the sunlight, either manually or with a motorised handset. I have a blackout roller blind in my sitting room, as well as curtains, and in the evening when the light is on in the room, I simply pull down the roller blind without drawing the curtains and no-one outside can see into the room.

ROLLER BLINDS ARE PRACTICAL FOR ALL ROOMS

Roller Blinds, custom made, are ideal  for all window sizes and you can chose from a large range of various designs and colours to suit all of your rooms. We can add a blackout finish to cut out the light for bedrooms, bathrooms or children's rooms.  Our customer in Olney wanted a design of the New York skyline and as this is a large window it makes a feature in the room. Another idea to cut out the sun light glare on a computer screen or TV is to have a combination of a roller blind and curtains at the window so that the blind can be partially lowered to stop the glare.

  VENETIAN BLINDS AND CURTAINS FOR A BAY WINDOW

Many newbuild houses have a bay window and we usually recommend a venetian blind that can be light adjusted for day or night, combined with short or full length curtains , as this gives flexibility to be able to close the blinds for security or to stop glare without needing to draw the curtains. For our customer in a newbuild house in Bedford we supplied and fitted, made to measure curtains and blinds. The curtains have a eyelet heading and are hung on a satin silver pole with round finial end pieces. When we visit you in your home  to discuss your requirements we can show you a large range of fabrics, poles and accessories to suit all budgets, and if you would like to place an order, we will arrange a fitting date.
