Should I choose curtains for my bedroom?

The bedroom is the perfect place for full length interlined curtains. Of all rooms in the house, this is where you should definitely choose curtains rather than blinds. When you go to bed on a winter evening it is lovely to draw the curtains and shut out the cold and darkness.

The curtain heading we would recommend for a bedroom is a cottage pleat, which we offer with either 5cm or 10cm depths. This provides a soft gentle look. Our best-selling fabrics for bedrooms are Cow Parsley, Down to Earth, Pretty Maids and Fruit Garden. Interlined curtains for a bedroom are a must, insulating against heat loss and they also give a more luxuriant look. Here we would suggest you use our Made to Measure lampshade service and choose coordinating fabrics for your bedside lights.

Which of your fabrics do you think suits a bedroom?

Herbaceous Border Detail is a classic bedroom fabric, especially for large windows with its beautiful gentle flowers in soft pastel colours. Also Up the Garden Path, French Floral, and For the Love of Rose make wonderful bedroom curtains.

Favourite colours for decorating a bedroom are Duck Egg blue, Hay & Buttercup yellows, Pigeon grey, Powder Blue, and Damson pink.

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:

WidthIf 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.
