Made to Measure Curtains

Bedroom curtains are an effective way to increase privacy, block out light to help you sleep and achieve a luxury look for your bedroom. Also you can choose interlined curtains for extra warmth and darkness too.

Bedrooms are one of the rooms in your home where we most commonly recommend you choose curtains instead of blinds. 

Why curtains make a great choice for bedrooms

When you go to bed on a winter evening it is lovely to draw the curtains and shut out the cold and darkness.

As well as blocking out unwanted light, our blackout curtains can also help keep your bedroom warm and add a stylish, luxuruy or designer look to your bedrooms. 

Different Types of Bedroom Curtains

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.

Here are more details about the different types of curtains.

Fabric Styles for Bedroom Curtains

Our best-selling fabrics for bedroom curtains are Cow Parsley fabric from our wildflower collection, Down to Earth fabric from our Earth Fabrics Collection, Pretty Maids fabric from our Swedish collection and Fruit Garden fabric from our Orchard fabric collection.

Interlined curtains for a bedroom are a must have feature. Interlining will insulate your room against heat loss and they also give a more luxuriant look as well as helping to reduce light penetration.

Why not pair your made to measure bedroom curtains with a made to measure lampshade in your choice of coordinating fabrics to serve as your bedside lights.

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.
