Contemporary and traditional curtain and blind designs

Your home deserves window dressings that are as unique as they are flawlessly chic. That’s why we observe a meticulous level of detail in everything we do.

Soft furnishings

Every curtain design starts out with a few basic elements…

Of course, we’ll be starting off by discussing the look and feel you want to go for, whether you’re looking to match your existing décor or go for something totally bold and audacious. But if you are wondering about the technical terms, we’ve broken down some of the key elements that will be working together to create the perfect curtain design for your home. Why not go for an interlined curtain to give that extra layer of warmth and help bring down those energy bills?

All of our curtain options can be 100% customised to your preferences, with an impressive choice of fabrics, patterns, sizes, and accessories such as trims, tassels and borders.

Curtains

There are a variety of curtain headings to finish your curtains. Some headings work better than others at different times, but it all depends on the situation. Some are highly decorative, whilst others are surprisingly simple. Some convey a traditional look and others a contemporary look. To name a few:

Pinch Pleat

Pinch pleat produces a more traditional and decorative finish. The pleats are uniform with a fixed width and are pleated to fit your track or pole exactly.

Double Pleat

As with pinch pleat, double pleat produces a more traditional and decorative finish. The pleats are uniform with a fixed width and are pleated to fit your track or pole exactly.

Cartridge Pleat

Similar to the pinch pleat heading but gives a more contemporary look. This heading also has a fixed width and provides a flow of regular, uniform pleats for a stylish finish to any room. The cartridge pleat can also resemble the wave heading.

Wave

An elegant contemporary finish to any room with straight, defined folds. Whilst it does resemble the eyelet, the wave heading gathers the curtain fabric into much softer, equal folds, giving off a truly laid-back atmosphere.

Inverted Pleat

These pleats are reversed and produce a flatter front to the curtain with the bulk of each pleat positioned more at the back. This finish resembles a box pleat as seen in bed valances.

Pencil Pleat

A classic pleat, which is formed by the tape used. It produces a gathered finish rather than uniform pleats.

Pelmets

Pelmets are similar to valances but have a hard finish. Whether you want to box in your Roman blinds, hide your tracks away, or just love the style, pelmets complete the look of your curtains. Whether it's a shaped or straight pelmet, we can provide any shape that suits your bespoke needs.

Straight or Shaped Pelmets

For a neat yet stylish aesthetic and a highly decorative finish

Valances

For the more traditional look, swags and tails give an elegant finish to your room. Each swag is separate and tailored to stunningly drape from the top of your window. Tails usually accompany swags either side of your window to finish the style. We can also complete the look with centre tails.
