10 Tips for Ordering Fabrics

Please read these useful tips before ordering your curtain fabric, upholstery fabric or fabric for loose covers.

  1. Measuring Curtains: Please use a steel tape when measuring your curtains, as fabric tapes give a more inaccurate result. Other good ways to get exactly the right measurements is to measure your old curtains if you are replacing existing curtains.
  2. Please install curtain rails before measuring the curtains length and width. You might not be able to get the rails exactly where you want them.
  3. If you have chosen a patterned fabric for your curtains and there are different lengths for the same room, please inform us if you want the pattern to match either from the top or the bottom.
  4. If you would like to have a valance, it is possible to make your curtains with a little less fullness.
  5. When your are choosing your curtain fabric or fabric for upholstery or loose covers, please remember that the fabric will look darker in larger areas.
  6. Please note that the curtains with pinch pleat and goblet pleat needs more fabric and also requires more space when hung up.
  7. What does 2 ½ width mean? It means that one curtain is made up of two full and a half widths of fabric joined together. Even though our curtain, upholstery and loose covers fabrics are washable it does not mean they do not shrink when you wash them. We recommend dry cleaning for our curtains or just vacuum cleaning which is in most cases enough.
  8. We can make all our fabrics to curtains or blinds – unless stated otherwise. However since upholstering fabrics and fabrics for loose covers require a heavy fabric and more hard wearing fabric. Therefore not all our fabrics are suitable for loose covers or upholstery.
  9. Before making any decisions please order a maximum of five free samples swatches of the curtain fabric, upholstery fabric or fabric for loose cover which you are considering. Once we have cut the fabric off the roll and processed your order we are not able to give any refunds or accept any returns.
