Caring for your Curtains

Caring for your new Made-to-Measure Curtains:

• Vaccum your Curtains regularly using a brush attachment, to keep your curtains dust and dirt free.
• Regular re-dressing of the curtains may be required to maintain appearance. This will help drapes to remain in place. The tightening of the drapes within the tie-backs or hold backs can help the curtains to remain fixed in place.
• Steaming your curtains in situ can help to remove any creases.
• Black-out linings on your curtains can help to minimise fading caused by sunlight.
• Note on Chenille and Velvet fabrics the pile may flatten in areas. This may result in a 'shaded' area on contact areas but this is normal for this type of fabric. Vacuum using a brush attachment to reduce flattening.
• If you have ordered co-ordinating scatter cushions with your curtains, plump them up regularly to maintain their shape and appearance.

 Hanging your curtains after cleaning:

• Eyelet Curtains - Start with one end of the curtain with the front facing you. Place the eyelet over the pole so that only the front of the curtain can be seen once hung. Carry on placing the eyelets through in a concertina fashion. Once both curtains have been replaced tighten up bracket screws.

• Pencil Pleat Curtains - Insert your curtain hooks, starting with the middle point on the header tape and working to the outer edge of the curtain, leaving around 5cm between hooks. If your curtain does not have an overlap, put the hook on the curtain in the middle of the window on the 2nd to end pocket to allow a curtain overlap once the curtain is drawn. This is required on the curtain to the left as you walk into the room, to ensure that no light can be seen between the curtains when drawn.

• Pinch Pleat Curtains - A unique feature of these curtains is that you can adjust the drop by moving the hook down the slider. This process can be repeated until you are satisfied with the look. Pinch pleat curtains have the pleats permanently sewn in and will be made to fit the exact width of the track or pole.

One of the quickest, simplest and most affordable ways to change the look of a room is with new curtains. Also called curtain window coverings, drapes, draperies, and curtain panels, curtains are decorative as well as functional.

Curtains and drapes also come in many styles rod pocket curtains, rod+pocket curtains, panel curtains or curtain panels, are clean-lined and have a rod pocket. Pinch pleated curtains have a pleated heading and tab top curtains have a tabbed heading. Kitchen curtains also called Tier curtains or Cafe curtains are a great way to add a little privacy at your window without blocking all of the light. Sheer curtains and lace curtains can be layered underneath other curtains or used on their own.

Your Guide to Curtains and Window Treatments

What About Fabric and Color?

Texture

Consider the mood of the room. For a formal space, there’s heavy silk or velvet (a great insulator); both are dry-clean only. More practical (often washable) options include silky rayon blends and cotton sateen. For a casual feel, there are billowy linen (generally dry-clean only) and crinkly crushed velvet. Cotton and cotton blends work with any type of decor and bring a crisp, neat feel, as does seasonless wool or wool blends.

Color

You’ll need to decide if you want the curtains to blend with the decor or to pop. For blending, pick curtains that are the same tone as the wall but a few shades darker, or choose a non-dominant subtle color in the room (a soft shade from the rug, say). A bold color will work like an exclamation point (if you’re looking to add some wow). Also keep in mind that in a space where the sun shines through unlined curtains, the color will infuse the room. Blue can be eerie; pink, cheery.

Prints and Patterns

A rule of thumb: If you have patterned furniture or bedding (or a very elaborate rug), stick with solid curtains. If you have solid-color furniture or bedding, consider patterned curtains. For a subtle hit of style and energy, go for a small, neutral print, like dots or paisley, which reads like texture from afar. A large, graphic print in a color that relates to the existing decor is daring but can be spectacular.

Creating a Comfy Home

Where Do I Start?

Set aside style considerations for a moment; function comes first and will limit your curtain choices, in a good way. If you want treatments that provide privacy or total darkness, you need lined curtains. If you’re OK with light filtering through or if your curtains are simply decorative, unlined will work. Lining is more expensive but has other advantages: It can shield fabric from sun damage, making curtains last longer. A lining also adds heft, which protects against drafts and helps fabric fall more luxuriously. For maximum durability, light blockage, body, and insulation, you can get curtains with an interlining, too—a layer of flannel-like fabric sewn between the lining and the “face” fabric. This is a common option for custom-made curtains but not widely available in less expensive ready-made panels.
