Why Choose Curtains

Curtains are not just a way to block or filter light; they are a fashion statement for your home. With a diverse range of fabrics, patterns, and designs, curtains add a touch of elegance and personality to any room. They provide excellent insulation, keeping your spaces warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Here’s some top reasons why curtains make an excellent choice for any room:

• Enhanced Aesthetics: Curtains add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room. With a vast array of styles, colours, and fabrics available, they can complement the existing décor or become a standout feature, transforming the look and feel of the space.
• Light and Privacy Control: Curtains provide excellent control over both natural light and privacy. They can be easily adjusted to let in just the right amount of light, or drawn closed to create a cosy, private retreat. This makes them particularly suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, and other areas where controlling light and privacy is essential.
• Energy Efficiency: Curtains act as an additional layer of insulation, helping to keep rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This can lead to significant energy savings, as it reduces the need for heating and air conditioning. Thick, heavy fabrics are particularly effective for this purpose.
• Noise Reduction: Thick curtains can also help dampen external noise, creating a quieter, more serene indoor environment. This is especially beneficial in urban areas or for rooms facing busy streets, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

How to Choose the Perfect Curtain for Your Space

Selecting the right curtain is an art. Whether you’re looking for a vibrant pattern to brighten up your living room or a sophisticated style for your bedroom, we’ve got you covered. Here are some tips to help you make the best choice:

• Room Type: Consider the room’s purpose. Sheer curtains are great for living rooms, providing light and airiness, while thicker fabrics are ideal for bedrooms, ensuring privacy and darkness.
• Window Size: Measure your windows to determine the length and width needed for optimal coverage.
• Fabric Choices: From luxurious velvets to light cottons, choose a fabric that complements your room’s décor and meets your functional needs.
• Colour Schemes: Match or contrast your curtains with your room’s colour palette for a harmonious or bold statement.

Let our experts in Cardiff and Bridgend help you with your curtain selection for that perfect fit!

Our made to measure curtains are available in five different header tapes and the Style Studio collection contains a vast assortment of traditional and contemporary fabrics, so whatever your requirements are, we will have the right curtains for you.

All of the fabrics within the collection can be used to create beautiful matching roman blinds, curtains, blackout curtains, or tie-backs of your choice. You can also complement your curtains with our spectacular curtain poles and finials.

Measuring Your Window: A Quick Guide

Measuring your window correctly is crucial for the perfect curtain fit. Our simple guide makes it easy:

Measuring Width:

• For Curtain Rods: Measure the length of the rod between the finials (decorative ends). If you haven’t installed a rod yet, it should extend about 3 to 6 inches beyond the window frame on each side.
• For Tracks: Measure the full width of the track.

Measuring Length:

Decide where you want your curtains to fall and measure accordingly:

• Sill Length: Measure from the top of the rod or track down to just above the windowsill.
• Below Sill: Ideal for kitchens or bathrooms, measure about 15 cm below the sill.
• Floor Length: Measure from the top of the rod or track to about 1 cm above the floor for a crisp look.

Fullness:

Consider the fullness – how gathered or full you want your curtains:

• Standard Fullness: For a tailored look, aim for your curtain width to be 1.5 to 2 times the width of the window.
• Extra Fullness: For a more luxurious look, you can go up to 2.5 times the window width.
