Caring for curtains at home: a gentle approach
Fresh curtains can make a whole corner of the room feel better. Before reaching for the washing machine, check the material and care instructions: fabric, sheers, roller blinds and wooden blinds need different treatment.

Your curtains are fitted: take a few minutes to try them
It is lovely to see new curtains in place. Take a moment to use them yourself while the fitter is still there, so you can ask for adjustments and learn how to look after them.
Read article ↗Light & privacy
Sheers transmit light and often need a fabric layer for privacy at night. In bedrooms, check the light gaps around the fitting as well as the fabric. A blackout fabric does not by itself make the entire window completely dark.
Wave, pleats or eyelets?
Wave gives an even fold and needs compatible tape, hooks and gliders. Pleats fix the folds at the heading; eyelets run on a pole. Fabric quantity depends on the fabric and chosen system rather than one universal fullness ratio.
Measurements & site checks
Record width × height and the units. Include recesses, air conditioning and obstructions in photos if relevant. For recess-fitted blinds, measure at several points and let the supplier specify deductions for the system. Check final sizes before production.
Care & safety
Dust gently and follow the material’s care instructions. Curtains, sheers, roller fabrics and wooden slats do not all use the same cleaning method. In homes with children, check chain safety devices and nearby furniture that can be climbed.
Preparing for a quotation
Send the property type, number of windows, light/privacy needs and any saved options. A budget range can help narrow down the specification.
