Curtains

Curtains are a great way to keep your home warm and cozy without breaking the bank. Curtains offer insulation against harsh weather elements by combining them with blinds or other curtains, it's all about finding balance between aesthetics and function when upgrading these windows treatments.

Curtains are a great way to add some privacy to your space for those who need it, especially if you have thick blackout curtains or sheers. You can also get the best of both worlds by using sheer materials that still let some light in and offer semi-privacy. With so many different patterns available, from basic stripes and designs like paisley or even flowers, through to block colours in the latest season’s trend, curtains can really help bring any room together with class.

There are also many textures available when it comes to curtains, and this is dictated by the type of fabric being used. Different fabric materials have different weight ranges for their opacity or sheerness and you can choose between linen, polyester, and many more depending on what is required for you specific situation. For lighter curtains that are less powerful visually but still functional, there is Sheer cloth like gauzy material or chiffon fabrics, though these won't offer much privacy, but when combined with a second layer, they can provide full coverage from external viewing, without sacrificing any natural light.

Some of the more popular curtain styles we supply include:

• Pleated Curtains – such as Pinch pleat, Box pleat, Goblet pleat and Pencil pleat
• Eyelet Curtains – which use grommets or open rings to support the panels
• Rod-pocket Curtains – which use a rod to slide through the fabric ‘pocket’
• Back Tab Curtains – which have hidden fabric strips at the back
• Tab-top Curtains – which use a rod to slide through large loops or ‘tabs’

Curtain width is also an important factor to consider. Single width curtains are perfect for a living room or bedroom that has one large window, and they come in an array of colours to match every decorating style. They are generally a single piece of fabric, and when opened to reveal the window, they will be gathered to a single side of the window only. Double width curtains comprise two pieces of fabric and when opened, gather on both sides of the window. They provide an elegant look by framing the window space, while also being just as functional as a single width curtain when closed.

Curtains are a way to add style, texture and color into the design of any room, and this is achieved through the type of fabric chosen. Linen is often popular because it breathes well but doesn't attract as much dust or pet hair like other materials might do. Silk curtains can be luxurious option that will show off your interior decorating skills with their vibrant colours and shimmering sheens. Polyester lining acts similar to velvet in terms of softness, while being more durable than silk, which makes this an excellent choice for children’s bedrooms where the curtains may be more harshly treated.

We know it can be difficult to find the perfect finishing touch for your window, so we have many options that will make your new curtains stand out. We offer drapery rods and tension poles if you want them installed in an easy way, as well as brackets and rings which are also a great option when looking for something simple with no hassle. For those who would prefer more texture or colour but still need simplicity on how they hang up their curtain panels there is button hooks made out of metal tassels or tiebacks sewn from cotton fabric. If space between two sets needs to be minimized then double pole runners are another great choice also.
