Pro Tips for Customising Curtains

Choosing the right curtain for your home can be a difficult design choice for many – with so many designs and options to choose from, customising the perfect curtain to make your room ‘pop’ has never been harder. When customising a curtain consider these pro tips:

  1. Curtains in a Sheer Fabric allow the room to feel light and airy, as well as allowing the right amount of natural light in! This can be a great choice for living area doors, large windows or simply anywhere that needs a little bit of softness.
  2. For areas that require a little more privacy, consider block-out curtains. Block-out fabrics are the thicker fabrics that can completely blackout the room. Essential for those all-important sleep-ins!
  3. For that ultra-luxury feel, the Curtain Combo is what you need! A block-out and sheer curtain will add softness, provide privacy while also creating a layered look to your windows.
