Why Custom-Made Curtains Still Deserve a Place in Every Home – 10 Convincing Reasons
Blinds may be sleek and modern, but there’s something timeless about a beautifully made curtain.
Whether it’s the way they soften a room, add warmth, or bring your décor together, custom curtains still deserve a starring role in today’s homes.
Here are 10 convincing reasons why curtains continue to be a firm favourite and how they can enhance your home in ways you might not expect.
1. They Help Keep the Cold Out
Custom curtains can act as a barrier between your room and any unwelcome chills, especially when lined.
In cooler months, they help retain warmth and reduce heat loss adding a little extra comfort without touching the thermostat.
2. They Soften Your Space – Visually & Acoustically
Curtains absorb sound, reduce echo, and bring a softness that blinds and shutters often can’t match. If you want a relaxed, peaceful space with warmth and depth, they deliver on all fronts.
3. You Can Tailor the Look to Your Home
Custom-made curtains give you the freedom to choose a header style that suits your space, whether you prefer the classic folds of Pinch Pleat, the relaxed feel of Pencil Pleat, the clean finish of Eyelet, or the modern wave of Wave headers.
Each style changes how the curtains fall and how the room feels.
4. Light & Shade, On Your Terms
From lightweight voiles to blackout-lined fabrics, curtains give you more control over light and privacy. Block out the morning sun or let in the glow of golden hour – it’s your call.
5. The Right Finish, Professionally Fitted
Our curtain service includes not just made-to-measure curtains, but the right finishing touches to go with them, including curtain tracks, decorative poles and handmade pelmets, all fitted with care and attention.
It’s not just about what you hang, but how it’s hung.
6. Privacy & Light Control with Smart Linings
Custom curtains give you privacy without sacrificing style or natural light.
Sheers and lighter fabrics let you keep things private without sacrificing natural light. Perfect for street-facing rooms or open-plan homes where you want to zone off an area subtly.
Blackout linings to block out unwanted light completely, perfect for bedrooms and media rooms.
Thermal linings that help regulate temperature while maintaining privacy.
These linings make your curtains work harder for your comfort, day and night.
7. You’ll Find a Fabric That Feels Like Home
With a vast choice of fabrics, from plush velvets and tactile weaves to subtle linens, you can find a texture and colour that reflects your home’s personality.
A good fabric choice lifts a space instantly.
8. Coordinated Details Make the Difference
Custom curtains let you tie everything together, literally. Choose tiebacks, holdbacks, and scatter cushions in matching or complementary fabrics to create a cohesive look throughout your room.
9. They Help Dampen Noise
Heavier curtain fabrics with quality linings help to absorb external sound, making them a great choice for bedrooms, nurseries, or any room that benefits from a quieter atmosphere.
10. They’re Year-Round All-Rounders
Cosy in winter, fresh in summer. Curtains help keep heat in during the colder months and sunlight out when it gets warmer.
And when made to measure, they always look intentional and never like an afterthought.
