What does Made to Measure mean?

Made to Measure curtains match your exact specifications every time.

When it comes to curtains, "Made to Measure" refers to a bespoke service where curtains are custom-made to fit a specific window or space. This process involves precise measurements and creating curtains that perfectly align with the customer's requirements.

Benefits of Made to Measure curtains:

• Perfect Fit: Made to Measure curtains are designed and hand-made to fit a window or match specific measurements seamlessly, ensuring they are neither too short nor too long.
• Personalization: These curtains offer a sense of personalization and perfection that cannot be achieved with off-the-shelf curtains. Our Customers can choose from a wide variety of fabrics, colours, patterns, and curtain headers to suit their preferences and enhance the room's decor.
• Quality and Durability: Made to measure curtains are often made from higher-quality materials and are constructed with more care and attention to detail than off-the-shelf curtains, making them more durable and longer lasting.
• Light Control and Privacy: They provide better light control and increase privacy due to the use of high-quality linings and precise construction.

Key Differences from Ready-Made Curtains

• Customization: Unlike ready-made curtains, which come in standard sizes, Made to Measure curtains are tailored to fit the specific window they are intended for, ensuring a perfect fit and a more polished look. With our Made to Measure curtains you can customize your lining, fabric and header for a style that suits you.
• Fullness: Bespoke curtains are typically fuller and meet easily in the middle, maintaining their appearance over time, while ready-made curtains may look stretched or flat when closed.
• Longer lasting: Made to measure curtains are dressed and delivered by the curtain maker, ensuring they fall back into their pleats and maintain their appearance over time, while ready-made curtains are hung without this personalised attention.

In summary, Made to Measure curtains offer a range of benefits, including a perfect fit, personalization, higher quality, and better light control. These curtains are tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of the customer, providing a unique and polished look for any space.
