Teal curtain fabric is warmer than Cornflower, Indigo and Denim, which contains a little bit more yellow. It turns towards the greens making it a popular choice for warmer curtain tones in day rooms, like kitchens. Some of our Teal fabrics include Up the Garden Path, By the Sea, In Full Flight, and Life and Eternity Detail, to name a few! If you're looking for coordinates for these fabrics, we would recommend Pretty Maids or Stockholm Stripe designs.
What other colours do my Teal made to measure curtains work well with?
There are many other colours you can team with Teal curtains! Lime Green, Raspberry red, Pumpkin, and Marigold oranges, as well as Damson pinks, are just a few examples that spring to mind. These are all warm colours which complement Teal blue fabric so well. We combine these colours already in the Pretty Maids and Stockholm Stripe designs.
When choosing your Teal blue Made to Measure curtains, blinds or upholstery, try mixing larger prints with spots and stripes, all colourfully coordinated to bring your home to life. My Cow Parsley print is quite popular, where there sits a Pigeon coloured butterfly on the head of the wildflower. This Pigeon can be used as a secondary colour in your room, thus introducing more designs to your scheme. An example and good coordinate would be the Pretty Maids - Pigeon, Teal and Winter.

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.
