What type of heading is this please?

8 years ago

You recently suggested cartridge vs eyelets for me on a post but i can't find them in many places. Would it suit a chenille? Thanks

Yes this is a example of a cartridge heading. The cartridges are sewn in and then stuffed to prevent them from being squashed. They stack back really nicely and hang very similar to eyelets. As long as the fabric is suitable for soft furnishing a chenille would be fine.

feel free too ask any further questions, I'm more than happy to help

Thanks Christine. I do like them as they look simple but a bit more special than eyelet. My only other concern though is whether they would be too full as it is on patio door & need to be able to use it. I don't close the curtains at all. What sort of width would you usually use with these please - still double?

I love both. The cushioned headboards are stunning, but I tend to think that the wooden sleigh beds will never date. Anything will look exceptional with this gorgeous wallpaper. Would love to hear what you do chose though.

There are so many gorgeous knobs, what about something to add a bit of personality and fun/joy to the kitchen. Easy, simple and fairly low cost to play with. All the same, different but co-ordinated ones, alternate ones ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Multi-coloured-ceramic-knobs-drawer-pull-cupboard-door-knobs-porcelain-china-/281241082642?var=580285132418&hash=item417b465b12:m:m-VBL7PkycruyxaWl0qihJg http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ceramic-Door-Knobs-Handles-Drawer-cupboard-wardrobe-porcelain-china-pulls-/310630047875?var=610179807491&hash=item4852fe6083:m:myhVxaODYrgIIljMoguLYoQ Not saying it has to be one of these, just examples to open up the options from the more traditional, slightly more masculine ones ...

I would definitely not use curtains, they will shrink the room! If you want to add a soft touch and texture you could use Roman Blinds p, which fold so you can keep them up like a pelmet. I would either use white linen, or something neutral like this one called Postcard Natural from Web Blinds. http://www.web-blinds.com/postcard-natural-roman-blind/ For the kitchen I would use a faux wood, wide slotted blind, which is moisture resistant, can be pulled right up or be tilted to provide just the right amount of privacy or shade. When open it is quite unobtrusive, see this sample http://www.web-blinds.com/innovation-chic-white-fauxwood-5/ Last but not least, get a good company to draft seal company your sash Windows, makes a huge difference and preserves energy. Can highly recommend Ventrolla. http://www.ventrolla.co.uk/locations/ventrolla-head-office?gclid=CjwKEAjwsYW6BRCTzvu5y8DPhi0SJABnGLlHlEdiU6T4Mu2axO7Psj21m6Zj9izA-3RmEaLBvjnV6hoC1L3w_wcB

Hi, Cartridge heading is normally calculated at 2-2.5 gather depending on any pattern on the fabric. The curtains in the photo are particularly full due to the tartan pattern of the fabric. The cartridges were calculated so that the same part of the pattern was visible on every cartridge otherwise they just don't look nice. If your not ever going to close them you can reduce the gather, but some times this can leave the curtains looking a bit under sized for the window so be careful.

Where abouts are you based? If your local I'd be happy to pop by to discuss things.
