Made to Measure Curtains
Sumptuous, stylish and luxurious, there is nothing quite like a pair of made to measure curtains for adding a bit of luxury to your home. Swept
dramatically across your window or pooled generously on the floor they have the potential to transform any room in an instant.
Our curtains are made to the very highest standards using only top quality designer fabrics and linings from the UK's leading fabric suppliers.
Pencil Pleats
Probably the most common pleat as they
are neat, practical and work well with both
tracks and poles. Pencil pleats also work
with virtually all types of curtain fabric,
making them extremely flexible. You can
choose exactly how high you want the
heading to extend above the track or pole –
the higher you go, the more luxurious it
looks.
Eyelet Heading
Less formal than pinch pleats, eyelet
headings have a contemporary feel. When
the curtain is closed they create a soft,
curving fold down the fabric and need far
less material than other types of pleat.
Eyelet headings only work with curtain
poles, which should ideally be fitted at least
15cm above the window.
Pinch Pleats
Pinch pleats give an elegant, classic look
that’s perfect for formal rooms. The pleats
themselves are usually in groups of three
separated by a space which opens up when
the curtain is closed. When the curtain is
opened the pleats create neat, clean folds
down the fabric. Pinch pleats work equally
well on tracks or from rings on a pole.
Goblet Pleats
Elegant and sophisticated, goblet pleats
create a striking look and are ideal for use
with longer windows. Choose rich jacquard
or tapestry fabrics and combine them with
lavish rope ties for a truly luxurious look.
Perfect for creating a striking interior!
Why not try Banding?
This modern, flexible style is perfect if
you want to mix two or more fabrics in your
curtains. Banding involves combining a
number of complementary fabrics to create
something unique. The result is as
imaginative and individual as you make it.
Tab Tops
Tab Top curtain are a laid back, casual
style of curtain heading. Created by making
straps from your curtain fabric which the
pole slips through. This style of curtain is
the perfect choice for a relaxed sitting
room, a kitchen or even child’s room.
