The Curtain Workshop - Choosing curtains

Choosing Curtains

The first stage in transforming your windows is to choose the look and feel you want to create in a given room. For example: is it functional? Or for show? Do you need blackout lining, or even blinds rather than curtains?

Other questions to consider are:

How much do you want to spend? Do you wish to “raise” a low window to make it look higher, or perhaps hang curtains to floor length to cleverly give the illusion of heightening a room? All these decisions need careful consideration.

And then there’s the effect of colour. For example, dark colours contract, light colours expand. How will this affect your designs?

If all this sounds daunting, don’t worry, we have years of experience helping customers decide. Indeed, we offer detailed consultations at the beginning of each job, to help you make the most of your experience and expertise.
