I need help please on what colour of curtain I need
Comments (7)I agree with the grey suggestions. Purples and grays always look great together. I'd go with something that was a grey and white print...check out West Elm, they always have some great ones....See MoreCurtains help please!
Comments (5)I'd vote for individual curtains. Gives you greater flexibility in terms of shutting one curtain if you're blinded at certain time of the day for example. You could also have blinds behind the curtains. If you just like the look of curtains in terms of softening and dressing a room then you could pick lightweight curtains that are always in the open position and use the blinds for when you want to cover the windows up. Personally I hate it when people stick a single straight pole over the front of a room. Just ruins the character and looses useful space....See MoreBifold doors curtain/blinds dilemma - please help!
Comments (18)As a professional in the industry and also have a 360cm bifold door at home i know the issue all too well. It all comes down to the budget you want to spend. I would have to recommend use a curtain track so you can get good support all the way across the track and know that it is sturdy to hold a heavyish pair of curtains. You will have to go with a metal curtain track of some description as the plastic ones are just not substantial enough and will not work as smoothly as the aluminium ones. You will certainly be able to have a single curtain pull to one side with a good quality track. Now the main element of this is the heading style for these curtains. The modern wave headings give you a beautiful pleat that will always look beautiful. Any of our metal tracks would be substantial enough and some of them can be upgraded to 60mm or 80mm wave heading. https://www.direct-fabrics.co.uk/curtain-tracks/metal Price for a 350cm would be around £40 upwards for medium domestic. going upto a heavy duty around £150 even more for silent gliss products. Fitting and installation with a qualified CSCS fitter would be around £120 maybe more depending on location. However to note you will have curtains right infront of a beautiful bifold door that will obstruct light coming in through the windows. I would suggest shaping the track outside the reveal but the book cases are in the way. Perfect Fit Blinds An alternative if you want the light to continue to come in is perfect fit blinds these work as frames that go out side the rubber seals of the window and allow a secondary frame to be mounted without any drilling into the window. This means you can fit them quickly and easily. A pleated blind would look incredible. A further option would be electric curtain tracks that fold to the left or right. These would be around £1000 Best option for cost Other options a light unlined hotel weight dimout pair of curtains these would be 95% blackout and you wouldnt see through them, with an eyelet heading top fixed inside the reveal with recess brackets. would work well. Really simple you would have 32 eyelets on a 4 width pair. not quite 100% fullness but would still look very clean. This would take up approx 16cm per side. But would be stacked back beautifully https://www.direct-fabrics.co.uk/recess-curtain-pole-kit.html Hope this gives you some ideas.

Comments (5)Thanks Sonia that does look lovely. The current wooden blinds aren't actually closed fully or turned the right way in the photos, I think the light coming through makes them look bent in the photo. But anyway, yes I could consider removing them :) It was more advice re the curtains, I'd wondered whether they should be to the floor or not, (its just having the radiator in the way), and I can't decide on colour. Walls are willow tree green and furniture white and I have pale grey or white bedding. So wondered if I should go (pale plain) grey for the curtains?...See MoreSonia
