As we all know the soft furnishings make a dramatic difference to any design scheme, but we have put together a list of other design tips and advice that may come in useful.

Interior design tips and advice:

Ensure that the lighting is appropriate to your room
In sitting rooms, lighting should be at eye-level for people sitting down to read or do close work
Bedrooms need a good overall level of lighting for dressing but you must be able to subdue it when relaxing.
Lighting for kitchens should always be above the work surfaces.

Be brave with colour
Don’t compromise, be adventurous and trust your intuition
Incorporate plenty of texture to create extra depth.

Display objects in your home carefully
Introduce one single large object rather than several smaller ones. This should also apply to pictures.

Storage
Think carefully about storage and give everything a special place to be put away.

Cushions
Instantly change the mood of your sitting room by using cushion covers and throws in different colours.

Voile ready made curtains
Changing from blinds to voile or muslin ready made curtains, can soften the whole look of your room. An inexpensive window treatment, which both let’s light in, but also ensures privacy.

Made to measure curtains
Impressive curtains can both make or break a room. Think very carefully about the style of curtains to choose. The fabric should bring the various elements of the room together. In most homes the curtains will be the main focal point for the room.

Paint
For durable paintwork on doors and chairs, use a half and half mixture of matt emulsion and PVA adhesive, plus a little water. The glue acts as a sealant making the paint more hard wearing and easy to wipe clean.

Akita red curtains

Choosing ready made curtains is never an easy task. But weather you prefer good old fashioned traditional ready made curtains with valances and tiebacks or modern suede’s, silk’s and taffeta’s curtain fabrics online have something for everyone. The Akita red floral lined curtains curtain collection all offer traditional style and class. All offer valances and tiebacks to match the curtains.

If you prefer tab top ready made curtains then we have allure collections to offer. Both are fresh modern designs and both come in an extensive range of sizes.

Eyelet headed ready made curtains

Stockholm and Sakura curtain ranges are eyelet headed curtains. Well made and competitively priced.

Our taffeta and silk ranges of ready made curtains are the Chelsea, Eloise, Florence and Rome curtain collections. All are lined curtains and all will add an air of opulence to any window.

The Tomlinson curtain collection is an extremely heavy weight curtain lined in blackout lining so will keep the drafts out.

For a heavy weight curtain without blackout lining try Walton, Vincent, Soloman and palm.

Ready made curtain quality

All of ready made curtains and ready made voile ranges all have one thing in common, and that’s the quality. From premier manufactures we only supply the best and if you are unhappy with your curtains in any way we will offer you a full no quibble refund.

The voiles are available as single unlined panels with a 2”net pleat heading tape (unless otherwise stated). Net pleat tape is very similar to standard curtain tape but is transparent to make it less obvious and has little channel. This allows the voiles to be easily hung with net curtain wire, café rods or tracks and poles.

The gather normally allowed for a voile curtain is either double or three times the window, dependant on your personal preference. Three times gather gives a neat and regimented finish whereas double gather allows more light through the window.
In order to allow enough gather multiple panels need to be used (see below)

Voiles are used, on the whole, as a stylish alternative to net curtains or blinds. Fitted under curtains and within a window, in order to give privacy, while still allowing plenty of light into the room. They are however a very good alternative to traditional curtains for dressing a window and giving the room a light and airy finish.

There are new and exciting voile curtains coming onto the market regularly and here at Curtain Fabrics online we do all we can to bring them to our customers first.

Once you have the width and the drop you have all the information you require to order your curtains. If you would like to order pinch pleat curtains make sure to mention any over lap arms that may be on you track.

You take this informtion and enter it onto one of the products here and will make you lovely new curtains.
