Can anybody recommend a good place to get curtains?
I'm looking for pencil pleat curtains for curtain tracks to go around two large bay windows, each about five metres in total length, so the curtains need to add up to around seven or eight metres to allow for them to be gathered up at the top.
The bottoms of the curtains need to hang about 20cm or so below the window ledges.
I'm looking for reasonable quality lined curtains but not blackout curtains.
My living room has a wooden floor, orangey brown rug, orange cushions and so on so I'm thinking of something in some shades of yellow, mustard, orange, light brown or similar.
My bedroom needs similar size curtains but in a pale to mid blue colour.
I've tried the usual stores such as Dunelm, Ikea and John Lewis but I can't find anything suitable.
I looked at the prices of getting some curtains custom made but the prices are in the region of £1000 or more per window.
Do any of you know of a good curtain store somewhere within a reasonable travelling distance of Stoneleigh? - So I could consider Epsom, Ashtead, Kingston, Sutton, Croydon, Guildford, Dorking, Leatherhead, Wimbledon or other towns in that general area.
Alternatively, do any of you know of a good person/company to make me some custom curtains without an eye-watering price?
My ideal scenario would be a mobile curtain maker who could visit with material samples, suggest suitable fabrics, measure up and make the curtains.
Cheers
Tony
