Measuring

How do I measure for my curtains?

Measuring for curtains is relatively straight forward but do not worry if you are un-sure - please find our measuring guide page here for further information.


Product

How accurate are the images online?

We do all we can to make our images as clear and accurate as possible and we employ a specialised team to produce all our images, we try to ensure 100% accuracy at all times. However, screens and resolutions can vary depending on your device so we always suggest ordering a FREE SAMPLE.

How do I clean my curtains?

For all of our made to measure curtains, we advise to dry clean only. For roman blinds, we would advise against dry cleaning (or any kind of water/solvent based cleaning), this is due to the cords and rods used in the make up of the blind. General upkeep and regular dusting is advised for roman blinds.
