Made to Measure Curtains
If you are looking for curtains, blinds, or upholstery with animals on them, have a look at the quirky light-hearted and fun, Birds & Beasts Collection. This combines a simplistic touch with a contemporary appeal.
Wild and Free is a whimsical depiction of magical wild animals designed by Vanessa’s daughter, Rose, who drew these from ceramics and artworks at the British museum.
Fallow Deer is another animal print that depicts deer standing next to trees encapsulated in a trellis and dot design. This comes in a beautiful cornflower blue.
Bird Hop is a simple yet effective design printed on a beautiful Smoke blue, perfect for soft furnishings and furniture. Other bird prints are In Full Flight, and Branching out, both similar in design and from the same Artists' Collection, with the Branching out being the smaller pattern of the two.
Printed in the UK on a 100% Linen, Birds and Beasts embraces Vanessa’s signature colour palette of Charcoal, Limestone, Saffron, Smoke, Teal and also Dormouse, Kale, Terracotta, and Tomato.

How to measure up for your curtains:
A video guide to help you measure up
Please remember that pattern repeats and fabric widths are automatically calculated if you order through our website. It is advisable to fit your pole or track before ordering your curtains. Your pole or track should ideally extend 30cms on each side of the window so when drawn back light is maximised and at least 15cms above the top of the window to block out as little light as possible again. Please use metric units only when measuring.
Poles:
Width: If you have a pole, measure the distance between the finials. (A)
Finished Length for pencil pleat, triple pleat and double pleat - when measuring the finished length using a curtain pole, we recommend allowing between 2cms and 5cms above the eyelet on the underside of the curtain ring, depending on how much of the pole and rings you wish to hide. From the measurement you choose above the eyelet, measure down to the bottom of the hem (see B & C) and that is your finished length measurement.
Finished length for cottage pleat (choice of either 5cm or 10cm depth)- these have to be made using a 3cm single position tape, which makes the finished length non adjustable. To measure the finished length for this header, please provide us with the distance from the eyelet to the floor, and depending on your choice of depth, add 5cm or 10cm accordingly.
Finished length for flop over frill - these curtains have to be made with a 3cm single position tape which makes the finished length non adjustable. To measure the finished length for this header, just give us the measurement from the eyelet to the floor. Don't add any extra for the frill, we will do that.
Please note, we will add 25cm for hem allowance.
Tracks
Width - If you have a track, measure the total length of the track, including any overlap where the curtains meet in the middle.
Finished length: For pencil pleat, triple pleat and double pleat - when measuring the finished length of your curtains using a track add 1cm above the track (to hide the track) down to the bottom of the hem. (D)*
Finished length for cottage pleat (choice of either 5cm or 10cm depth)- these have to be made using a 3cm single position tape, which makes the finished length non adjustable. To measure the finished length for this header, please provide us with the distance from the eyelet to the floor, and depending on your choice of depth, add 5cm or 10cm accordingly.
Finished length for flop over frill curtains - these have to made with a one inch single position tape which makes the finished length non-adjustable. To get your finished length measurement, just give us the measurement from the eyelet to the floor and don't add any extra for the frill as we will do this.
Please note, we will add 30cms for hem allowance.
