5 Reasons To Opt For Made to Measure Curtains

2- Unique curtain headers

At Blindtex we offer various headers, some of which are unavailable from other designers or when choosing ready-made curtains.

Pencil pleat, Double or Triple Pinch Pleat, Eyelet Pinch Pleat, Eyelet and Wave are all offered together with a variety of poles, tracks and finials unavailable on the high street.

3- Adding a personal touch

Do you prefer a sleek modern look, shabby chic, or prefer to keep it traditional? A lot of this can be defined in the fabric you choose and how you dress your curtain.

You may be located in a new apartment building and would prefer the more modern look of a wave header for a more relaxed look.

Or you may have a terraced home with tall bay windows, more suited to a traditional look. This may include heavier fabrics often carrying a bold design and tailored in a pinch pleat fashion to create a plush look.

4- Accessories

Whether your style includes curtain tiebacks or not, they often add a tailored look to a curtain. All of our tiebacks are made with the same fabric and are made to suit the width so they do not look too big nor too small. 

Poles, do you prefer metal or wooden? A variety of colours and finials are available that will be manufactured to the exact width of your window. 

Nothing finishes a room more than cushions. Adding cushions to your room in the same fabric as your curtains ties the whole look together and gives in that ‘interior designer’ feel.  

Have you considered a curtain pelmet? These are best paired with made-to-measure curtains and really define a window along with blocking out additional light which makes them ideal for bedrooms. 

5- Functionality

Do you want curtains to keep the room dark? Keep the room cool during the summer? Or is your main concern privacy? Various types of linings and fabrics can work with your lifestyle. Although they can be found with ready-made curtains, its not always available in the fabric you like or in the style you prefer. Made-to-measure curtains give you the freedom and flexibility to choose what is right for your home.
