Made to Measure Curtains in Newport

Although we may focus on the light windows can give us, there’s no denying that at some point you will need to block the light, or the cold, out of your home with curtains, blinds or shutters. And while you may only want to use them at night, it’s difficult to completely hide away your window dressing during the day, so you may as well make your curtains or blinds look as flattering as possible and think about working them into the design of the whole room. That’s where Newport curtain makers, blind fitters and retailers come in.

Curtain makers, retailers and designers in Newport can work wonders with pieces of fabric, while fitting blinds or shutters can be tricky to do yourself, so it’s definitely a wise idea to hire a window dressing professional in Newport who can design, make and/or fit bespoke blinds, curtains or shutters for you. Whether you want sleek roller blinds for your home office, roman blinds for your kitchen, venetian blinds to smarten up your living room, plantation shutters for your bay windows or delicate voile curtains for the bedroom, there will be Newport curtain makers, blind fitters or shutter company to help you with your ideas on Houzz.

What does a window dressing professional do?

A curtains, blinds or shutters company in Newport will first be able to advise you on the style of window dressing that will work with your windows and rooms. If you have an idea or design in mind for your window dressing, then discuss this with any potential experts, such as curtain makers in Newport, to see if your design and style is possible. You will need to work closely with them if you are planning on having custom curtains, bespoke blinds or shutters created.

Curtain makers will be able to turn most fabrics into curtains, so if you’ve found a pattern or fabric you like already, present this to your Newport curtain makers and they could be able to turn it into curtains for you. Even when clients don’t have certain fabrics in mind, curtain makers can suggest fabrics based on your style and the rest of the room’s design. They can pick out the right weight, thickness, length and pattern that would suit your room. Curtain retailers in Newport will offer a huge range of readymade curtains, or curtains that can be adjusted or made to order. Contact Newport curtain retailers if you’d prefer to choose from a large selection of ready-to-go curtains; whether they are high-end designer curtains or just plain white curtains; rather than waiting for some bespoke designs from a curtain maker that may take a bit longer. You may find that curtain makers in Newport also offer a stock of ready-to-go curtains, too, but always double check with the professional first.

Once you’ve decided on a design, curtain makers, blind fitters and shutter professionals will usually measure your windows or doors to ensure a good fit. If you are having blinds or shutters made then it will probably be best to have them professionally installed, too. Blind fitters and shutter companies should offer this service with their products as blinds and shutters need to be firmly fixed to the windows; something that most homeowners don't know how to do themselves. Although roller blinds and Roman blinds can be fairly simple, vertical blinds and Venetian blinds can be a bit more complex, and if you want remote controlled blinds that operate with the touch of the button, then you definitely need to call in the Newport blind fitters. Plantation shutters are substantial window dressings and need careful measurements and installation, so it’s really best to leave the measuring, design, manufacture and installation to a professional Newport shutter company.

Blind fitters, shutter companies and curtain makers in Newport should also check the insulation of your chosen window dressing and make sure there are no potential hazards once fitted. Finally, they should confirm with you that your curtains, blinds or shutters are functioning as you’d like them to before finishing the job.
