Jade made up and installed wide widths of curtains for me. They completed the room and I just love them! I called on her team again for some cushions for my bare couch, again, such a pleasure to deal with, with lots of great advise. Next on our list of purchases with The Curtain Company is a rug, I look forward to working with The Curtain Company again and again. – Kristin Mc Laughlin

Carolynne Franklin came highly recommended and it was an absolute pleasure working with her. She made it all so easy from choosing the fabric to the design of the curtains. Professional and prompt service from first meeting to installation. Thank you Carolynne thrilled with the final product. – Gail McSharry

The Curtain Company made all the curtains and Roman blinds for our whole house. Top quality finishes; very professional. Carolynne gave excellent advice, and the finished product was perfect. Everything was 100% on delivery, such as the length of the curtains, clearly based on very exact measurements. – Ann Edwards

Once you have decided to have new curtains or blinds made up, the next step is to choose your fabric. With thousands of options in our studio, the choice of colour and pattern alone can feel overwhelming, let alone settling on the type of fabric. Here are some insights into the fabrics we use the most for our clients. ▫ Cotton and bamboo blends The availability of a wide and versatile selection of cotton, and more recently bamboo blends, make this the most popular choice for curtains. Natural fibres offer the best heat protection of any fabric type, although also make these fabrics susceptible to shrinking in the wash and on particularly hot days. ▫ Man-made fibres Durable and good value for money make man-made fibres another successful choice for blinds and curtains. More stable than cotton and easy to keep clean, these fabrics have come along in leaps and bounds over the last decade, and can now replicate the natural, matt look of cotton blends. ▫ Velvets Currently making a re-appearance is the new version of non-directional pile velvets. These fabrics give us a luxury, tactile finish without having to ensure the fabric pile is permanently needing to be smoothed over. ✅ Top-tip Always hold the fabric you are considering up to the light. The tone and the shade will change noticeably compared to looking at it in the horizontal on a flat surface.
