Choosing the right window treatments is about more than just looks—it’s about comfort, privacy, and enhancing your home’s character. Whether you’re updating a Victorian terrace in London or a modern detached house in Surrey, your curtains or blinds should match both your style and the unique features of your home.
1. Understand Your Window Types
Homes across London and Surrey feature a variety of window styles—sash, bay, French doors, skylights—each with unique needs:
- Bay windows: Pair Roman blinds with full-length curtains for layered depth and elegance.
- Sash windows: Lightweight voiles or tailored shutters complement period charm.
- Bi-fold or patio doors: Vertical blinds or wave curtains allow smooth functionality and modern style.
Tip: Our bespoke service ensures a perfect fit for even the trickiest window shapes.
2. Balance Light and Privacy
Natural light is a prized asset—but too much or too little can be a challenge:
- North-facing rooms benefit from sheer fabrics and lighter tones.
- South-facing spaces might need thermal-lined or blackout options for comfort and protection.
3. Choose Materials That Fit Your Lifestyle
From busy family homes to sleek contemporary flats, your window dressings should suit your day-to-day:
- Easy-clean roller blinds are perfect for kitchens and children’s rooms.
- Velvet or linen curtains add warmth and sophistication to living areas and bedrooms.
- Wooden Venetians offer durability and style in one.
4. Energy Efficiency Matters
With rising energy costs, your curtains and blinds can make a real difference. Lined curtains, thermal blinds, and layered treatments can help insulate your home year-round—ideal for both Surrey winters and London heatwaves.
5. Add the Finishing Touches
Details make the design. Consider:
- Coordinated tiebacks for a cohesive finish
- Pelmet boxes to conceal curtain tracks
- Motorised blinds for modern convenience
