Will my curtains be ready before I move in?

The sooner you get the ball rolling the more likely your curtains and blinds will be ready and installed before you move in. As all our products are custom made to fit your windows there is a period of time between you meeting your consultant and choosing your fabrics to them being made and installed.

How does quoting off plans help me set a budget?

Lots of customers like to get an estimated price based on their plans so they know how much curtains and blinds might cost. We understand that construction and decorating budgets often have to be flexible to accommodate any changes to the plans as the work progresses. That’s why we recommend getting in touch earlier rather than later means you will know how much you need to set aside to achieve the look you want.

What better options open up when you plan early?

Curtains and blinds don’t have to be the traditional ‘screwed-to-the-wall’ variety. By making decisions early in the process you have more options. For instance, a recessed built-in pelmet could be incorporated into your plans to hide curtain rails or blind mechanisms; or perhaps automation could be integrated rather than added on once the build is complete; it may just be as simple as locating stud beams in the right places to fix tracks and brackets as securely as possible. In these instances, your consultant can collaborate with your architect or builder on any design provisions.
