Top Tips for Choosing Curtain and Blind Fabrics
1. Trends are a great way to find inspiration and ideas, but try not to be too led by them as you may end up regretting your decision in 12 months time! Try to focus on colours and fabrics you're drawn too, and that you know you and your family will enjoy living with.
2. Consider the rest of the room and house. Whether starting from scratch or adding to an existing room scheme, it is important to consider the other elements in the room to create a cohesive look. Think about flooring, paint colours, and other surface textures. Having samples of these will help you pull your ideas together. Lay them out on a mood board or bring them into store to help you choose a fabric.
