Nancy's renovation sensation

When Nancy and her husband finally found their perfect Christchurch bungalow, it had all the 1930s character they'd been searching for, and absolutely nothing on the windows. For Nancy, that blank slate was an opportunity. She called in Russells, and our consultant Karen got to work. With the right guidance on fabric, Nancy not only found her ideal curtains, she had enough from the same fabric to create a matching set of roman blinds too. Sometimes the best advice pays off in ways you don't expect.

For her renovation, Nancy chose double lined curtains and roman blinds, a practical yet stylish solution for blocking light and keeping warm in Christchurch's chilly winters. Nancy worked with consultant Karen, who offered helpful guidance to find the right fabric. An efficient fabric choice meant they were able to create an additional set of matching roman blinds from the same fabric as her curtains.

The best of beauty and brawn

The fabric, Envoy 2 by James Dunlop, has a gorgeous linen-like drape that offers chic style and cosy homeliness. With the robustness and colour-fastness of 100% polyester, Envoy 2 delivers both beauty and practicality, a perfect choice for a busy family home.

Nice and neutral

The shade selected — Oatmeal, a warm neutral tone — gets its organic appearance from subtle colour variations through the weave. Envoy 2 is available in 36 colours, including a wide range of neutrals with various undertones, making it easy to find the perfect match for any interior.
