FAQ

WHAT TO EXPECT ON A DESIGN VISIT?

I will meet you at the property and arrive with my vehicle which has all the fabric and blind books.

I will at this appointment be able to chat with you about your project, measure the windows and then you can choose the fabrics, blinds, poles, tracks.

Once I have all the information, I will put your bespoke quote together for you.


DO YOU HAVE A SHOP OR SHOWROOM?

I work on a home visit basis only. After working in the window dressing industry for many years and working in large high street shops. I realised that viewing fabrics in a shop creates problems with artificial lighting and not seeing the windows themselves can make it hard to determine the right window treatments and for customers to visualise the design.

A design visit at your home or new build home, with all the choices there on the visit. This enables you to see the fabrics and blind swatches in the right light and correct environment. We can match and coordinate to your walls and any furniture if required.


HOW MUCH WILL MADE TO MEASURE CURTAINS AND BLINDS COST?

Made to measure and bespoke soft furnishings do vary in cost and this very much depends on the following:
  • The size of window
  • The fabric cost
  • The style of curtains or blinds, the more elaborate and time consuming, the higher the cost.
I am used to working to budgets so we usually start at what you really want and if that is over your budget, I can offer you solutions on how to save on costs if needed.


HOW LONG WILL MY ORDER TAKE FROM START TO FINISH?

Time scales for each customer depends on what is ordered. For example, a customer ordering some roller blinds, wood venetian blinds or vertical blinds can be as little as 1-2 weeks from order to fitting. A customer having bespoke roman blinds and curtains can expect average of 3 or 4 weeks.

These times can vary throughout the year and I can give you an average timescale once your project has been discussed and quoted for.

Have you a rush job? Or quick deadline? Give me a call I can advise of we can help.


I KNOW WHAT FABRIC I WANT FOR MY CURTAINS AND BLINDS; CAN YOU HELP?

Yes, we can get most fabrics from many fabric suppliers. Just message us with the fabric supplier name, fabric name and colour and we can source and supply for your order. We do not sew other companies or customer bought fabric. With our buying ability and vast fabric book collection you will not be disappointed.


MY WINDOWS AND DOORS ARE UNUSUAL, I DON’T KNOW WHATS BEST

That’s okay, there are many window types, we are used to complex projects as well as simple ones, we have many bay window solutions and tracks that can bend and ceiling fix. Bifold door solutions and even corner windows and Arches. If you need or want Motorised blind and curtains solutions, we can offer that too.
