Choose your Style
Use our curtains to inspire a whole new look, or tie together your existing decor. Match them to a particular tone in the colour scheme for a smart finish. Cream curtains complement natural tones like browns and greens, although they can also make the colour or pattern on statement wall stand out beautifully. If you prefer warmer hues, team colourful and embroidered curtains with your throws, cushions and lampshades. Alternatively, use a pair of bold long drop curtains to add a focal highlight to a plain room.
Find the Right Size Curtains for Your Room
Make sure you know what size to get before you buy. To gauge the width youll need, measure the curtain track or pole, and allowan extra inchof overlap where the curtains will meet in the middle. Measure from the top of the pole to the sill or floor to work out the height. Add 3cm for eyelet curtains, and 5cm for bordered eyelet styles. Leave a gap of about 1.5cm above the sill, or six inches if you prefer them to fall below. If you want your curtains to hang to the floor, its best to allow a space of 1.5cm at the bottom to prevent wear and tear.
