Made-to-Measure Curtains — Professionally Measured and Fitted
Made to measure for your exact window, in your choice of fabric, heading style and lining. We bring samples to your home, measure precisely and fit professionally across Northamptonshire, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Luton.
Made-to-measure curtains are produced to suit the dimensions, heading style, fabric and chosen lining for each window. During the home visit we bring suitable samples, take measurements and discuss how the curtains will hang, operate and work with your chosen track or pole.
Measured for Your Window
Every curtain is made to the exact width and drop of your window, taken during your home visit.
Choice of Fabric & Heading
Select your fabric, heading style and lining from the samples brought to your home.
Professionally Fitted
Your curtains, track or pole are fitted by our own team once your order is ready.
Heading Styles
Curtain Heading Styles
The heading style determines how your curtains hang, how they stack when open and the fitting they need.
Suitable for tracks and polesDouble Pinch Pleat
Individual pinch pleats sewn at regular intervals, creating a structured heading.
Suitable for tracks and polesTriple Pinch Pleat
Three folds per pleat, creating a fuller heading with a more pronounced pleat structure than double pinch pleat.
Poles only — not suitable for a trackEyelet
Metal rings fitted through the top of the curtain and threaded directly onto the pole, creating rounded folds that stack neatly when open.
Requires a compatible wave trackWave
Smooth, continuous folds across the width of the curtain when closed, stacking in a narrow column when open.
Suitable for tracks and polesPencil Pleat
An additional heading option using even, gathered folds created by a heading tape.
Exact heading-style availability and track/pole compatibility will be confirmed for your chosen fabric and window during survey.
Fabrics
Curtain Fabrics
Curtain fabrics are available in a range of plains, textures, patterns, prints and stripes, as well as voile and sheer options. Your surveyor brings a fabric sample collection to your home visit so you can see the options in your own light.
Plains & Textures
Soft neutrals, warm whites and richer tones in smooth weaves and textured fabrics.
Patterns & Prints
Florals, geometric patterns, abstract prints and stripes for a more decorative finish.
Voiles & Sheers
A lightweight, translucent option that softens daylight. Available unlined only.
View VoilesLinings & Interlining
The lining affects the light control, drape and finished weight of your curtains.
Unlined
Fabric only, without a lining layer — best suited to voile and sheer fabrics or a lighter, more informal look.
Standard Lining
A lightweight lining that adds privacy and a degree of light reduction while keeping the curtain relatively light.
Blackout / Blockout Lining
A heavier lining that further reduces the light transmitted through the curtain fabric. This is not a total blackout product — light can still enter around the edges, above, below or between curtain pairs depending on the installation.
Interlining
An additional layer of padding between the face fabric and lining, adding weight and a fuller, more structured appearance. Available on selected fabrics; your surveyor can advise whether interlining suits your chosen curtains.
Tracks, Poles & Motorised Curtains
We supply and fit curtain tracks and poles to suit the selected heading style and window. Eyelet curtains require a curtain pole. Wave curtains require a compatible wave track. Pinch pleat and pencil pleat headings can be fitted to a suitable track or pole, depending on the selected system.
Motorised curtain tracks are available on selected systems and heading configurations. Control options and smart-home compatibility depend on the selected motor and system and will be confirmed during survey.
Curtain Pole
A pole-mounted option, used with a suitable heading and hung from rings or gliders.
Curtain Track
A discreet track option, fitted to suit the selected heading style and window.
Motorised Track
A motorised track option, available on selected systems and heading configurations.
Curtains for Bay Windows
Curtains can be fitted to many bay windows using a suitably shaped track or pole. Suitability depends on the fixing surface, angles, projection, returns and nearby obstructions, and is confirmed during your home visit survey.
Finishing Touches
Cushion Covers
Made to measure in your choice of curtain fabric, with a concealed zip finish. Size and edge finish confirmed during your home visit.
Tie Backs
Fabric tie backs to match or contrast your curtains, supplied in pairs. Length and finish confirmed during your home visit.

Care, Pattern Matching & Curtain Dressing

Lead times for made-to-measure curtains depend on the selected fabric, heading, lining and hardware, and will be confirmed before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pencil pleat and wave curtains?
Pencil pleat curtains gather into even, gathered folds using a heading tape and are suitable for tracks and poles. Wave curtains create smooth, continuous folds and require a compatible wave track.
Can eyelet curtains be fitted to a track?
No — eyelet curtains are fitted to a pole only. The eyelet rings thread directly onto the pole and are not compatible with a standard curtain track.
Do wave curtains need a special track?
Yes — wave curtains require a compatible wave track. A standard track or pole is not suitable for a wave heading.
Can curtains be motorised?
Motorised curtain tracks are available on selected systems and heading configurations. Control options and smart-home compatibility depend on the selected motor and system and will be confirmed during survey.
Are curtains suitable for bay windows?
Curtains can be fitted to many bay windows using a suitably shaped track or pole. Suitability depends on the fixing surface, angles and any obstructions, and is confirmed during survey.
Does blackout/blockout lining give total blackout?
No — blackout and blockout linings reduce the light transmitted through the curtain fabric, but light can still enter around the edges, above, below or between curtain pairs depending on the installation. For increased room darkening, ask about our dedicated blackout blind options.
How do I care for my curtains?
Care instructions depend on the selected fabric, lining and construction. Follow the care guidance supplied for your curtains and use professional cleaning where specified.
Can the pattern be matched exactly across curtain joins?
Pattern placement and matching depend on the fabric repeat, width, heading and number of joins. An exact match across all seams or curtain pairs cannot be guaranteed.
What is the lead time for made-to-measure curtains?
Lead times depend on the selected fabric, heading, lining and hardware. Your surveyor will confirm the expected timing before you order.
