CURTAINS, CUSHIONS
& BLINDS

Take a look at some examples of our work, each with a brief explanation. Click on any photo to zoom in and explore the details.

Triple pleat heading

The 6" depth of the heading is perfect for full length curtains. Notice how neatly they stack back when hung from the pole, just high enough to disguise the eyelet underneath the ring.

A close up of a triple pleat handsewn heading. If you're unfamiliar with handmade curtains, check out how few stitches are shown on the front of the curtain. Buckram is used inside to stiffen the heading and help mould the pleats. Machine sewn heading tape shows stitch lines along the top and bottom of the tape which gives a less polished look.

Curtains with valance in a large bay

These pencil pleat linen curtains (made slightly overlong to disguise the uneven floor) are complimented by a valance in a large bay window.

Layering treatments

Both a Roman blind, set outside the recess, and a blackout roller blind set inside the recess are used to darken the room. Layering window treatments is one of the best ways to reduce light in the room.
The camera has made automatic adjustments so it's a lot darker in the room that it appears in the picture.

Double pleat, full length curtains

Pencil pleat taped heading

Cheerful blackout lined curtains with pencil pleat machine sewn heading tape on a track. This is a budget friendly option for made-to-measure curtains.

Wide Roman blind

This Roman blind is close to 2m wide. Most fabric comes with a width of 137cm so to make up the width, panels are added to either side, pattern matching to disguise the seam. The shell trim finishes the blind beautifully.

Roman blind in chunky linen

Gorgeously thick linen from Peony & Sage. These are lined with a premium lining (our standard lining) to help protect the fabric.

Triple Roman blinds

Blinds set inside the recess work particularly well when the window has a beautiful architrave that acts as a frame for the blind.

Wave voiles

These voiles cover a 4m wide set of garden doors and hang from a Silent Gliss Metropole. The wave heading is formed with a special set of gliders that are strung together within the track which hold the folds preventing the curtain from flattening out. These are 80mm wave folds.

Roman blinds

The middle window is at a different height to the outside windows so these were made to ensure all could be pulled up so the hems lined up horizontally.

Cushion stack

Goblet pleat heading

A traditional heading brought up to date with a contemporary fabric. A decorative style but doesn't stack back as neatly as a pleated style.

Relaxed Roman blind

A relaxed Roman blind has no rods and fewer strings to pull up the blind and so drops or 'smiles' in the middle. This Roman blind is complimented by a ruffle trim to the top.
