Curtains are the last thing installed in a room and the first thing your eye notices. And because the Eastern Province sun is unforgiving, choosing curtains here decides your sleep, the heat in the room, and your electricity bill before it decides the look.
Start with the window, not the fabric
Before anything else, take three measurements: window width, window height, and the distance from the top of the window to the ceiling. The rule we work by: hang the curtain as close to the ceiling as possible and let it fall until it just touches the floor. That alone makes ceilings look higher and rooms look far more finished, at no extra cost.
Width matters more than length
Nothing kills a curtain like being stretched flat. A beautiful curtain has fullness and folds, and that takes fabric two to two-and-a-half times the width of the window. When we make curtains to order we calculate this precisely, which is one of the reasons custom beats ready-made.
Which fabric suits which room?
- Bedrooms: blackout fabric or an insulating lining, for deep sleep and heat control
- Majlis and living rooms: two layers, a light sheer for daytime and a heavier drape for evenings. The classic look that never tires
- Kitchens and offices: practical, easy-clean fabrics
- Velvet reads luxurious; linen reads calm and modern. That part is your taste and the rest of the room
Mistakes we see all the time
- Hanging the rail right at the window's edge, which visually shortens the room
- Skimping on fabric width, which leaves the curtain flat and lifeless
- Skipping the lining, even though lining protects the fabric from sun and adds years to its life
Our curtains are made to order: you choose the fabric and style, we measure, sew, and fit. Send a photo of your window on WhatsApp and ask us. The advice is free.
