Curtains Made for Your Windows and Your Room
Made-to-measure curtains bring a room together. From bold, luxurious statement fabrics to light voiles, we tailor every detail to suit your windows and your style. Choose linings for blackout, warmth or light control, add the right heading, and our team will measure, make and fit them for a neat, finished look. Your curtains are made in our workshop, on the same site as our Royston showroom, and we can make matching Roman Blinds and soft furnishings in the same fabric for a co-ordinated look.

Fabrics, Styles and Headings
Choose from hundreds of designs in our fabric books, or supply your own fabric. We'll guide you on colour, pattern, care and which fabrics suit each room.
Light voiles give daytime privacy while letting light through, and pair well with heavier lined curtains for the evening. The heading sets how your curtains hang and fold:
- Wave — a sleek, modern look
- Eyelet — simple folds, made in-house on our eyelet machine
- Pencil pleat — a versatile classic
- Pinch pleat — a classic, tailored finish
Linings for Light, Warmth and Privacy
The lining matters as much as the fabric. It changes how much light comes through, how warm the room feels and how the curtains drape.
- Blackout — blocks out light for better sleep, popular in bedrooms and children's rooms
- Dim-out — softens and reduces the light without full blackout
- Thermal interlining — adds warmth, body and a fuller, more luxurious drape
Tracks and Poles
We supply the tracks and poles for your curtains and fit them as part of the job, bending tracks on site to follow bay windows. Our showroom stocks tracks, rods, brackets and finials, so you can see the options before you choose. Curtains can also be motorised for remote, app or voice control.
Measuring, Making and Fitting
Every order starts with a free, no-obligation home visit, usually available within 2–3 working days in our coverage area. We bring samples, measure each window accurately and give you a clear written quotation.
Once you're happy, your curtains are made to measure and our team comes back to put up your tracks or poles and hang your curtains. Every installation comes with our minimum 3-year guarantee (1 year on commercial installations), plus our lifetime aftercare service.

Child Safety
Child safety is one of our specialisms. Curtain and blind cords can be a risk to young children, so we only supply and install systems that meet the child safety requirements of BS EN 13120, and we'll recommend safe options for nurseries and children's rooms.
