A guide to hanging loose blackout curtain linings
Blackout linings are seperate curtains that hang behind the face curtains and stop all light and save energy by stopping the heat from escaping.
1. Lie the curtains face down on a flat surface and place the lining on top of the curtains face side up
2. If using standard curtain hooks then insert the hooks into the lining and then the curtain tape.
3. Pull the curtain hook towards you ensuring the downward arm of the hook lies over the face side of the lining.
4. If using a curtain track fitted with gliders then attach to the appropriate hook position on the curtain tape. Then insert a standard curtain hook into the lining tape and pull through the ring at the foot of the hook glider. Ensure the download arm of the curtain hook lies over the face side of the lining.
5. Unpick cords at one end of both the curtain and lining and knot securely. Unpick the cord at the opposite end and gather tape evenly until required curtain width is reached. Tie surplus cord closely to edges of the curtain tape to hold the curtain in position.

Since the credit crunch started to bite, more and more people are looking online for their curtains. Seeking out the products they require, at prices more favourable than the normal bricks and morter curtain shops. With more and more choice available online and prices dropping there has never been a better time to order curtains online.
Although it is a shame to lose some of the individual customer service that a shop offers most websites try their best to offer advice and contact through email and over the telephone.
Rents on high street locations make it impossible for shops to get close to the prices offered by an internet based business even allowing for the extra cost of postage. It is always sensible to request samples before ordering curtains so you know
If you have curtains on your window, but would still like a little more privacy while the curtains are open, or if you don’t like curtains but would still like to obscure the window then voile curtains may be just the thing for you. Voile is like a traditional net curtains but is delicate and hangs softly giving a more luxurious finish.
Until recently it was only possible to buy voile as a fabric or as ready made panels. These were normally 60″width. In order to cover a window multiple panels would be required (enough to make up a double gather). Now however made to measure voile curtains mean that a voile can be made exactly to your window size in one single piece with no need for joins. The voile can then be hung through channel at the top onto either a net wire, a cafe rod or a small pole.
These voile curtains are an attractive way to finish a window.

We are often asked how to curtain a bay window. In reality you can use any of the standard curtains types, pencil pleat, pinch pleat, ring top and tab top. The problem is more about the track or pole that you use to hang the curtains. There are a few options available the first and more expensive option is to get a metal track or pole made to the size and shape of the bay. This would involve a track fitter taking a template of the bay and the track will come shaped and ready to fit. The cheaper option is to use a plastic track and bend it by hand to the shape of the bay. With ring top and tab top curtains the will only fit on a pole so the custom pole option is the only available.
Ready made curtains although fine to fit in bays do only come in limited widths the largest being 90″. So often the curtains will need to be made to measure curtains.
Choosing which lining to use when making your curtains will effect the finish of your completed curtains. Blackout lining is a cotton lining with a rubber sprayed onto one side. If the fabric is sprayed once it is called thermal lining. It is sprayed twice then the lining is blackout thermal. If it is sprayed three times then the lining is a 3 pass or total blackout. We currently have our three pass blackout on sale at £3.59 per metre.
Cotton sateen lining is a curtain lining that is 100% cotton and the sateen mean it has been dressed to keep the lining sharp and also protect the lining and curtains against fading caused by sunlight.
The last a basic form of curtain lining is polycotton lining.
If you need to calculate how many metre of fabric you need for a window size. There is a wonderful little fabric calculator tool here which you enter your sizes and the fabric width, price and pattern repeat and it will tell you what you need for pinch pleat, pencil pleat and ring top curtains.
Once you have converted your loft, one of the last but most important factors to think about is the curtains. Measuring for these curtains is very important as the curtains will need to be made to measure ,and will be made to fit the windows perfectly.
Roman blinds can also be used effectively in loft conversions with curtains or on their own.
We find that customers often ask for their made to measure curtains be lined in blackout, as this not only keeps the heat and light out during the summer months but also keeps the heat in during the winter.

Having a home with high ceilings can bring drama, elegance and opulence but can make it difficult to give the house a homely feel. Ceilings are generally painted white although using colour can change the feel of the room and bring the ceiling closer and thus the room feels cozier.
Dramatic curtains such as swags and tails, pelmets and valances work very well in rooms with high ceilings. With the height the curtains can be a ornate and breath taking. Italian stringing is also another attractive finish for a high ceiling home.
In terms of curtain fabric bold, strong colours can also be used to great effect.
Breaking walls down into separate tiers is also a great way to show off the height of your walls whilst creating a less cavernous feel. Very popular with the Edwardian and Victorian two sections of differently patterned wallpaper, separated by a dado rail and topped off with a large corniced top section will add real period charm to a room with high ceilings. The usual method employs striped paper at the bottom with floral wallpaper on top.

The new ranges of ready made curtains arriving ready for the start of the winter season, have a real retro feel but most have a taken a retro theme and been given a twist.

The traditional polka dot are now back but in fuchsia and limes. The old school linens are still available but many have bold printed black patterns setting out to make a real statement in your home.
The most striking change in the new incoming ranges are the many cotton printed fabrics that are now available. Floral and abstract prints have made a real come back. For a long time prints have been out of favour but they are back in a big way.
