If you want to obtain a unique and individual look and feel to your home, then made to measure curtains have to be in the top five of ‘must do’s’. Although there are many ready made curtains available, in various styles, designs, patterns, colours and sizes, nothing quite beats the fit and finish of a bespoke, tailor-made set of curtains to set off your interior’s decor.
When choosing and designing your made to measure curtains, the look, feel, design, pattern and style of the final product is only limited by your imagination. Something which cannot be said for a readymade set of curtains.
With made to measure curtains you have overall control and have the opportunity to choose the colours, patterns, fabric textures, styles, designs and other associated attachments such as the various types of tiebacks, drawing methods and matching pelmets. For example, if your dominant furniture of the room happens to teak, then you may want to choose curtains of a matching colour and have varying shades of brown or choose complementary colours and patterns such as creams and chocolates. Alternatively, you may want to choose contrast to create a certain impact.
One of the best ways of utilising your scope of design when choosing your made to measure curtains is to use them as a centre for ho
lding all your other design elements in your interior decor together. Echoing other elements of your interior decor within your curtains patterns, textures and colours is an extremely effective way of completing the rooms decor and adding that final ‘professionally designed’ touch to any room. In fact, this method of echoing other design features within a room with the use of well designed curtains is a common trait of professional interior designers.
Obviously when deciding
on having made to measure curtains, you can of course choose to rely on the expertise of a professional retailer, curtain designer or interior designer. Many specialised retailers may have years of experience within their industry and will have seen certain fashions come and go, as well as having a good in depth knowledge of those designs and styles that never really to go out of fashion and will be able to steer you in the right direction.
If the use of a retailer or designer is not your chosen route, then use of the internet may be. Searching online can give you the opportunity to view the many different styles, colour choices, material characteristics and overall effect a particular set of curtains can have, all from the comfort of your own home, without the need to spend hours traveling to and from various retail outlets.
In fact, on many websites you are able to view, mix and match virtual swatches of fabrics, patterns and textures. Use of the internet can also be useful in helping you view and decide of which particular style, pattern and type of stitching you would prefer.
Overall, when deciding on your made to measure curtains, bear in mind that they will ultimately be an expression of your own individuality and personality.
