The width of your curtains depends on the width of your window, how much space you have around it, and the overall look you'd like to achieve. The depth of your curtains is based on where your curtain pole or track is positioned. You may want to position it as high as possible if you're trying to make your window look taller. It's also worth thinking about if you want your curtains to puddle on the floor. That's quite a lot to consider, but your local advisor will give you all the advice you need at your in-home appointment.

Yes, all our made-to–measure curtains can help to keep a space warmer and banish draughts. They do this by reducing the air exchange between your cold windows and warm room. Heavier fabrics, such as velvet, are great insulators, especially when they're teamed with a thermal or blackout lining. At your in-home appointment, your local advisor can recommend the best cosy options for your home.
Pinch pleat curtains are made with evenly spaced, sewn-in pleats along the heading or top of the curtain fabric. These pleats are created by folding and sewing together sections of the fabric. They are typically hung using hooks or rings on a curtain pole. Each pleat has a small pocket or space where the hook or ring is inserted, so the curtains can be easily hung and you get a consistent, even drape. When you open or close pinch pleat curtains, the pleats neatly fold and unfold with the fabric between the pleats gathering in a structured form for a neat and sophisticated look.
Pinch pleat curtains are a classic and timeless choice for your window, known for their elegant and tailored appearance. They look great in all kinds of interiors, from chic or formal environments to relaxed settings. Because of the depth of the folds, pinch pleat curtains bring out the best of a bold pattern or a rich material.
