A More Personal Approach To Soft Furnishings
Creating a home you love shouldn't mean becoming an expert in curtain headings, blind mechanisms, fabric weights or window measurements.

Measure · Design · Make · Install
Whether you know exactly what you want or simply know that something in the room needs to change, we can help you work out the right solution and take care of the details from there.
From our first visit to your home through to measuring, design advice, fabric and hardware sourcing, making and installation, you'll have one experienced team looking after the whole process.
You Don't Need To Have It All Worked Out
Some clients come to us with fabric samples, inspiration boards and a very clear idea of what they want. Others start with something much smaller: a scrap of textile, a favourite piece of artwork, a colour they love or simply a feeling they want to create in the room.
Wherever you're starting from, we can help shape those ideas into something that works beautifully and practically in the space.
We can provide as much or as little design input as you need. We might help you explore colours, fabrics and different treatments, create mock-ups to help you visualise an idea, or simply take an existing vision and make sure it works practically in your home.
The aim isn't to impose a particular style. It's to understand yours.
Design Advice That Considers How You Actually Live
The right soft furnishings need to do more than look good.
Perhaps you need privacy without losing too much natural light. Maybe a bedroom needs better blackout, a large room feels cold, or an awkward window has never quite worked with standard curtains or blinds.
We consider the practical requirements alongside the overall look, including:
- Privacy and light control
- Blackout requirements
- Warmth and temperature control
- How curtains, blinds and hardware will operate and interface with each other
- The proportions of the room and windows
- How different fabrics and treatments work together
- Motorisation where appropriate
The finished scheme needs to feel right visually and work properly in the room, bringing form and function together in a way that feels natural to the space.
From One Room To A Whole Home
We work at your pace, whether you want to begin with one room, tackle a particular window first or plan the soft furnishings across an entire renovation or new home.
You may want help with one particularly difficult window, start with a single room and return to others later, or ask us to manage the soft furnishings throughout a renovation or new home.
Whatever the scale, we give the project the same level of thought and attention.
Our team can help with:
- Bespoke curtains
- Made-to-measure blinds
- Furniture upholstery
- Cushions and throws
- Lampshades
- Bed valances, canopies and headboards
- Curtain poles, tracks and hardware
- Motorised window treatments
It Doesn't Have To Be Your Forever Home
Investing in well-made soft furnishings doesn't have to depend on staying in the same house forever.
Sometimes the priority is simply making the home you're in now feel more comfortable, more finished and more like your own. That might mean improving one room, solving a difficult window or completing the spaces you use most.
We can help you decide where it feels most worthwhile to invest, whether you're planning to stay for years or simply want to enjoy your home properly while you're there.
Well-made soft furnishings can also continue to work for you beyond one room, and sometimes even beyond one home.
We regularly alter much-loved curtains for clients when they move, adapting them to suit new proportions where possible. Sometimes the motivation is practical, sometimes sentimental, and sometimes it simply makes sense to retain something that was carefully made and still works beautifully.
It means investing in quality doesn't have to feel tied to your current home. The priority is creating something you value now, with the flexibility to adapt it later where the design allows.
One Team From Measure To Installation
Bespoke interiors can involve several different specialists, which makes clearly defined roles and responsibilities particularly important.
Who measured the window? Who specified the track? Who ordered the hardware? Who is responsible if the finished treatment doesn't fit or operate as expected?
We take a different approach.
We visit your home ourselves, measure the space, advise on the treatment, source the appropriate fabrics and hardware, make your soft furnishings and arrange the installation.
Our soft furnishings are handcrafted by our team in our Berkshire studio, with specialist installation handled as part of the wider service.
You don't have to coordinate a curtain maker, fabric supplier, hardware company and fitter separately. We take responsibility for bringing all those elements together.
Difficult Window? That's Where Experience Matters
Some of the most characterful homes also have the most interesting windows to work with.
Angled windows, unusual proportions, high-level installations, architectural features and motorised systems can all require more technical thought.
We'll look at the window as a whole: how it needs to function, how the room is used and what you want the finished treatment to achieve.
Sometimes the answer is a curtain. Sometimes it's a blind. Sometimes it's a combination of the two. In other cases, the difference lies in specifying the right pole, track or hardware for a particularly individual space.
The important part is finding the solution that works for the room, rather than starting with a product and trying to make the space fit around it.
What Happens When You Get In Touch?
1. We Visit Your Home
Our first visit is about understanding more than the measurements.
We'll talk through what you'd like to achieve, what isn't currently working and how you use the room day to day. Understanding how you live in your space helps us identify practical considerations such as privacy, light control, ease of operation and durability.
We'll carry out a detailed video measure, take the measurements we need and explain the process and timescales, so that you know what to expect from the outset.
2. We Explore The Options
Depending on the level of support you want, we'll help with treatment ideas, fabrics, colours, linings, trims, hardware and practical considerations.
We may return with ideas or samples to review together, or send options ahead for you to consider in your own time.
This stage is as much about refining ideas as selecting products, helping you move towards a scheme that feels considered.
3. You Receive A Tailored Quotation
Every project is different, so we'll provide a quotation based on your specific requirements rather than asking you to commit to a standard package.
If the design develops or you want to explore an alternative option, we can refine the specification and quotation with you before everything is finalised.
Where useful, we can also help you visualise an idea through mock-ups or rendered elevations, giving you a clearer sense of how the treatment, proportions and fabrics could look in the room before the final design is agreed.
4. We Make Your Soft Furnishings
Once everything is agreed and the fabrics arrive, your pieces move into production, with all of our handcrafted work taking place at our Berkshire studio.
5. We Install The Finished Scheme
We arrange the fitting and finishing so you can see the complete scheme come together in the space it was designed for.
For larger projects, installation can also be phased where that better suits your priorities or the wider work taking place in your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know exactly what I want before contacting you?
No. Many of our homeowners come to us because they aren't sure what treatment, fabric or style would work best. We can guide you through the options and provide as much design support as you need.
Do you visit my home to measure?
Yes. For private residential projects, we visit your home so that we can measure properly, understand the space and advise you based on the actual room rather than measurements taken remotely.
Can you help me choose fabrics and colours?
Yes. We can help you explore suitable fabrics, colours, textures and finishes based on your taste, the wider room and what the finished treatment needs to achieve.
Can you help with unusual windows?
Yes. Unusual windows and unusual architectural features are an important part of our work.
We'll assess the space and consider the complete treatment, including the fabric, proportions, operation and hardware, before recommending an approach that works both practically and visually.
Can you supply motorised curtains and blinds?
Yes. Motorisation can be incorporated where appropriate, either as a standalone system or alongside wider home automation.
There are different ways to power and control individual or multiple treatments, whether you're considering one window, several windows or a number of rooms. We'll advise on the option that best suits the space and the way you want to use it.
Do I need to run cables for motorised curtains or blinds?
Not always. Depending on the system and treatment, options can include rechargeable battery-powered solutions as well as mains-powered systems, so new electrical cabling isn't always required.
It's worth discussing motorisation with us early in the process so we can advise on the most appropriate option before the wider treatment is finalised.
Can you help with just one room?
Absolutely. You don't need to have a whole-house project. We regularly work on individual rooms and smaller projects, and clients often return to us as their homes evolve.
You can approach the project gradually or consider several rooms together. We'll work at a pace that suits you and the way you want to make decisions.
How much do bespoke curtains and blinds cost?
Every project is different, so the cost will depend on the size, fabric, construction, hardware and complexity of the treatment.
Once you get in touch, we'll help you understand the likely cost from the outset. Depending on your project, we can either provide a tailored quotation based on your requirements or give you access to our online configurator, where you can explore indicative costs based on your measurements and choices.
Do I need an interior designer before contacting you?
No. Some of our clients work with interior designers, but many come directly to us. We can provide as much design guidance as you need, from helping with fabrics and colours to advising on the most appropriate treatment for the room
If a project would benefit from wider interior design input, we can also introduce you to someone within our network who we feel would be well suited to you and your home.
How long will my project take?
Our standard lead times are typically around 6–8 weeks, although this will vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, the fabrics and hardware selected and their availability.
If you have an urgent project or a particular window that needs to be prioritised, tell us at the outset and we'll do our best to accommodate it.
Timing is collaborative too. Where decisions can be made quickly, we can keep the project moving; where you'd rather take more time over the design, we can work at that pace too.
If your project forms part of a wider renovation, we can also work around the overall programme and other trades. We'll advise you on the most appropriate stage for us to become involved so measuring, specification, any preparatory work and installation can be coordinated with the rest of the project.
