Practical guide
Common mistakes when choosing curtains
Some mistakes come up again and again when choosing curtains or blinds, and are usually easy to fix if spotted before the fabric is made.
Key takeaways
- Choosing the fabric from a catalogue alone, without seeing it in the home's actual light.
- That's why we always start with a visit to your own home: to see the space, show real samples in each room's light, and take the final measurements before making up any piece.
Most common mistakes
- Choosing the fabric from a catalogue alone, without seeing it in the home's actual light.
- Not leaving enough space at the sides of the window for the curtain to stack back.
- Making up the curtain from approximate measurements instead of a professional measurement.
- Not considering motorisation for tall or hard-to-reach windows.
- Forgetting how the chosen fabric behaves at night, with the interior light on.
