Showroom & Ordering

Can I visit your showroom?

How long will my order take?

Both options are available. Our team offers professional installation, or your order can be supplied ready for DIY fitting with simple instructions included.

Products & Fabrics

What is the difference between sheer and blockout curtains?

Sheer curtains softly filter daylight while keeping daytime privacy, making rooms feel light and airy. Blockout curtains stop light almost completely and help insulate, which makes them ideal for bedrooms. Sheer and blockout curtains combine both on one track for the best of both worlds.

What fabrics can I choose from?

We offer fabric collections from premium suppliers, including Aura, Back To Basics, Crème De La Crème and Extra Wide Width. You can browse every design and colour under Fabrics on our Curtains page, and we bring physical samples to your consultation so you can see and feel them before deciding.

Which blinds work best in kitchens and bathrooms?

Moisture resistant options are best in humid rooms. Aluminium venetians, faux wood venetians and PVC vertical blinds all handle steam and splashes well and are easy to wipe clean.

Do you offer motorised blinds?

Yes. Our motorised roller blinds can be operated by remote control, smartphone or smart home system. They are perfect for large or hard to reach windows and are child safe with no cords.

Care & Aftercare

How do I care for my curtains?

Follow the care instructions for your specific fabric. Most fabrics benefit from a regular gentle vacuum with a brush attachment, and many are cool wash friendly while others prefer professional cleaning. We advise you on the right care for your fabric at handover.

How do I clean my blinds?

A light dusting or vacuum with a soft brush attachment keeps most blinds fresh. Aluminium, faux wood and PVC blinds can also be wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, which can damage finishes and fabrics.
