Here are some points to consider when looking to make drapes, blinds and soft furnishings......
- Get a budget established before starting
- Use a reputable company specialising in soft furnishings
- When considering the design of your drapes give thought to the size of the room
- Often lifting the rods 100-200mm above the frame or even up to the ceiling will make the room feel bigger.
- Drape length can be a personal thing, whether you like them to the floor, or
- drapping on the floor.
- Express your personality
- Not every room in the house has to have the same fabric or style. Enjoy your designing & buying experience.
- Comparative quotes
- If you get more than one quote make sure that you are getting "apples for apples". In other words, make sure it is the same fabric, lining, style, meterage, and tracking. You may find the dearer quote could be the "cheaper" quote if the same product was quoted on.
- Most importantly take the time to research your fabrics and drape makers or employ a designer (that would be me!) to specifie their recommendtions. This can make life a lot simpler and you'll probably end up savng money in the long run by getting it right the first time!
