What Are Bespoke Curtains?

While off-the-shelf window treatments are an instant solution, nothing compares to the quality and luxury of bespoke curtains. Customised to fit the unique dimensions of your windows, our made to measure curtains are designed exclusively for your space. From bedrooms and studies to living areas and kitchens, there really is no better way to create a polished and well-appointed aesthetic in your home. 

So, what are bespoke curtains and why are they worth the investment? Read on as we take a look at what sets bespoke curtains apart from off-the-shelf window drapes and why you should consider installing them in your space.  

Bespoke curtains  

As the name suggests, bespoke curtains are custom-made to fit the unique dimensions of your windows. This means no awkward lengths, no mismatched rods and definitely no botch jobs when it comes to installation. Instead, you’ll enjoy curtains that are specially made to complement the width, height and style of your windows. They can come with the heading of your choice and be backed in a range of quality linings including 100% Cotton or insulating interlining.

Why invest in made to measure curtains? 

Curtains can completely change the feel and dynamic of a room, meaning it’s always worth investing in quality pairs. Still not sure whether bespoke curtains are worth the cost? Consider the difference between a cheap off-the-shelf blazer and a tailor-made equivalent designed to complement your personal measurements. There’s no doubt about it, the tailor-made blazer will run circles around its off-the-shelf counterpart when it comes to aesthetics, quality and value for money. 

Here’s a few other reasons why it’s worth scoping out bespoke curtains near you:

Creative control

When you commission bespoke curtains, you have complete creative control over the design process. There’s no need to settle for a shade that doesn’t quite match your wall paint or a length that’s a few millimetres too long for your window. Instead, you’ll staff at our curtain shop in Lancashire will work with you to select fabrics and create custom window drapes that are unique to your space. 

Create the illusion of added ceiling height

Using curtains to create the illusion of added ceiling height is a trick universally loved by interior designers. However, it only works when your curtains perfectly fit the dimensions of your window. 

Complete flexibility 

From Victorian townhouses to modern apartments, window dimensions can vary enormously. This makes it incredibly difficult for manufacturers to create one-size-fits-all window coverings. Made to measure curtains overcome this issue by offering you complete flexibility when it comes to length, width, fabric and other variables. 

Interior design, your way

When you invest in bespoke curtains, it’s easy to create a seamless aesthetic in your space with matching cushions, bedspreads, throws and other accessories. 

There’s no need to scour homewares stores and websites for matching décor.  We can use the same luxe fabric to create cushions and other custom furnishings that will tie your room together beautifully. And, with so many beautiful fabrics to choose from, chances are you’ll want to incorporate your Sanderson florals or Morris & Co motifs into more than just your curtains. 

Designing your bespoke curtains 

Bespoke curtains are a luxury product which means there’s some groundwork to be done to ensure the perfect finish. Our full curtain dressing service includes a custom measurement and fitting appointment along with a consultation at our dedicated curtain showroom.
