Ive been writing a blog post about the best way to measure and wondered if anyone had anything extra they think I should add in?

The rule I’ve always followed is measure the rail, then you want to buy curtains double the rail width for a full look or 1 1/2 times the rail for a more informal look. This is the overall width for both curtains. Hope that makes sense!

Full length curtains should fall just above the floor, unless you want a long “puddle” effect. If they are too long, sometimes it is easier to raise the rail rather than to turn up mountains of fabric!

Good luck with your blog.

Well made curtains are generally triple fullness lined and interlined. and they should touch the floor or they won't look right.

Hi James, Very much depends on the size and type of project, specifics to the site and build etc, however lots of people tend to get builders quotes using only the approved plans and specification. The danger with this is the lack of detail and specifics to your project, and you can end up with significant variance in prices quoted. If you choose a builder this way you also have the risk of paying substantially more than the initial quote, and/or ending up arguing with the builder over costs & item quantities and so on, specifically because of the lack of detail and 'mis-understanding's'. Programme of Works - sets out what happens when, project duration, key stages, inter-dependencies and so on, and something you would agree with the builder. Basically a Gantt chart, and something a lot of small builders won't use, preferring to quote for example a build schedule of 12-16 weeks depending on the job/weather etc. Always worth using particularly when working with more than one contractor, and when you do use most builders should try to commit to it. Cost Framework - how the job's being priced; whether via bill of quantities, schedule of rates, fixed price quote, provisional sums for different/specific elements etc. Most builders will price as a fixed lump sum, and will often include in their quote provisional sums for different elements (eg, could be radiators/type, £m3 for extra depth of foundations reqd, specific door furniture etc). For the average extension (if there is such a thing), you should as a minimum aim to get a quote with a Schedule of Works. This lists the specifics of your project and your choices, for everything from windows to sockets & door furniture, includes a lot more detail and should be read/priced against in conjunction with the plans & specification. You can have this drawn up by a project manager/architect or surveyor, and the net result should be that you get more accurate/consistent quotes in and hopefully less surprises down the line (though you should always allow for contingencies, as its very rare that you won't have something extra/unforeseen to pay for). Site-specific issues, working times etc can be included in the Schedule of Works, as can addressing/highlighting any conditions of Planning. You can agree a payment plan with the builder, always in arrears, and the specifics of this can be included in a JCT Minor Works Contract, which you can purchase online from RIBA. If you're unsure or don't feel confident dealing with these aspects, you should always get help, and particularly if you ever have any doubts regards payments against valuations/work completed. Other issues you will have to contend with include the CDM (Construction Design & Management) Regs 2015, and possibly Party Wall matters if applicable, and you can get lots of info about these online. It all sounds a lot scarier than it actually is, and you may feel a bit more confident once you research further. Hope this helps!

Love the view. I think 2 down the middle would look quite bulky. I think 1 long pole with a curtain either side is a really nice idea, especially if you put some pictures or something down the middle, making it into a kind of feature in the room. :)

I tend to prefer long curtains personally as well but if you think that brushing past them would annoy you then I’d go for short. Roman blinds could be an option as well if they will tuck under the pelmet, I do feel that you’d need a double layer approach with perhaps a roller blind in the window to block out the light tho. You could always ask the curtain maker to include curtain weights in the bottom. This would help to make the fabric hang a lot straighter. Of course this does depend on what type of fabric you choose. A thick woven wool or chenille for example (something you might use for cushions or upholstery) will have a lot more bulk and stick out more. Synthetic materials such as nylon and polyester tend to drape better because of the smooth weave. Here’s some advice on choosing fabrics https://www.themillshop.co.uk/blog/which-is-the-best-fabric-for-curtains A plain simple pelmet would look best I think even if it’s curtains or Roman blinds.

If space is your priority, perhaps the second toilet would be better? What brand is it, btw? I will eventually be redoing a bathroom (had planned to do it this year, but gas price rises have made me decide to install a wood burner instead). Really like the shape of this second toilet and it looks like it would be so easy to clean.
