FAQs

How many types of curtains are there?

There are many different types of curtains, but the most common are rod-pocket curtains, grommet-top curtains, and tab-top curtains. Rod-pocket curtains have a pocket at the top of the curtain that slides onto a rod, while grommet-top curtains have metal rings that thread through the holes in the fabric. Tab-top curtains have tabs or loops of fabric that attach to the rod.

Why should you buy bespoke curtains?

There are many benefits to buying bespoke made-to-measure curtains, including a perfect fit for your windows and the ability to choose your own fabric and design. Bespoke curtains also offer a more personalised service than ready-made curtains, as they are designed specifically for you and your home.

What is the difference between blackout and light blocking curtains?

Blackout curtains are designed to completely block out all light, while light blocking curtains only reduce the amount of light that comes into a room. Blackout curtains are often used in bedrooms to create a dark environment for sleeping, while light blocking curtains are more commonly used in living rooms and kitchens to reduce glare from the sun.

What are the most popular curtain fabrics?

The most popular curtain fabrics include cotton, linen, silk, and velvet. These materials offer a variety of benefits, including durability, breathability, and style.

Cotton curtains are easy to care for and are available in a wide range of colours and patterns. Linen curtains have a natural look and feel that can add a touch of elegance to any room. Silk curtains are luxurious and can help to insulate your home from noise and heat. Velvet curtains are rich and textured, making them ideal for adding drama to a space.

What are luxury curtains made of?

Luxury curtains are made from high-quality materials like silk, velvet, and linen. These fabrics are often more expensive than other options, but they offer a unique look and feel that can add a touch of elegance to any space.

What is the difference between lined and unlined curtains?

Lined curtains have an extra layer of fabric sewn to the back of the curtain that helps to block out light and noise. Unlined curtains do not have this extra layer, which makes them less effective at blocking out light and sound. However, unlined curtains are often lighter and easier to hang than lined curtains.

What are some tips for cleaning curtains?

Curtains should be vacuumed regularly to remove dust and dirt build-up. They should not be washed in a washing machine. Some types of curtains can be spot cleaned with a mild detergent and a damp cloth but be sure to avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the fabric.

Always make sure to test a small area of the curtain. If you need to have your curtains professionally cleaned, be sure to use a reputable dry cleaner.

What is the best way to hang curtains?

Curtains can be hung using a variety of methods, including rods, hooks, or clips. The type of hardware you use will depend on the weight and fabric of your curtains.

Heavier curtains may require sturdier hardware, while lighter curtains can be hung with less sturdy hardware. When hanging up curtains, be sure to leave enough space above the window so that they can be drawn open and closed without hitting the ceiling.

Style of The Room

The style of the room should be taken into consideration when choosing curtains. For example, if the room has a more traditional feel, then classic styles such as rod-pocket or tab-top curtains would be a good choice. If the room has a more modern feel, then grommet-top or eyelet curtains would be a better choice.

Function of The Room

The function of the room should also be considered when choosing curtains. Rooms that are used for entertaining guests or hosting parties may benefit from darker colours or heavier fabrics that can help to block out light and noise. Bedrooms may benefit from lighter colours and fabrics that can help create a relaxing environment.

Size of The Window

It is important to measure the window before purchasing curtains so that you can choose a size that will fit well. Curtains that are too small may look out of place, while curtains that are too large may overwhelm the space.

Curtains should be about two times the width of the window to allow for proper coverage. When measuring for length, be sure to measure from the top of the window to the floor (or wherever you plan to hang the curtains). Add an extra inch or two to account for any shrinkage that may occur when the curtains are washed.

Climate

It is also important to consider your climate when choosing curtains. If you live in a cold climate, you may want to choose curtains that are thick and lined to help keep your home warm. If you live in a hot climate, you may want to choose light-blocking curtains to help keep your home cool.

Which is better curtains or blinds?

It really depends on your needs and preferences. Curtains offer more insulation and can be made of a variety of materials, while blinds are generally more effective at darkening a room.
