Please don't judge us... it was a different era!

A horrifying (yet magnificent) look back at some of our old workroom builds from the vault.

✅35+ years of British workroom history
✅Extremely questionable fabric choices
✅100% precision craftsmanship (even on the ugly ones)

Tag a fitter who remembers taking down curtains that looked like these!

(No offence to anyone still rocking a 90s pelmet—each to their own, and you certainly got your money's worth out of that fabric!)

Powered by precision, skill (and a lot of tea)!

A day in the life of our UK workroom team crafting bespoke curtains, Roman blinds, and soft furnishings for trade projects across the country.

Keeping the cold (and the monsters🧟) out this October—cold draughts don't stand a chance.

A front door drop is one of our favourite winter specs for stopping freezing air in its tracks and keeping entrance hallways cosy, elegant, and draught-free.

🎃Maximum Draught Exclusion: Made-to-measure drops tailored to seal off full doorway height and stop cold air creeping through.
👻Solar Pro Fleeced Thermal & Fleece Options: Creates a heavy thermal barrier to lock in hallway heat without adding stiff bulk.
🦇Lead-Weighted Hems: Keeps the curtain hanging snug against the floor to block bottom gaps.
🧛🏽‍♀️Bespoke Craftsmanship: Checked on our workroom hoist to guarantee a level, site-ready fall straight out of the bag.

Sure, they filter light and offer daytime privacy... but mostly? They just look gorgeous.

Even as the temperature drops across the UK, sheer voiles remain a firm favourite on our workroom floor. Whether layered under heavy winter drapery or specified for modern apartment windows, there’s nothing quite like watching a lead-weighted sheer drape fall into perfect pleats on the hoist.

Hope your site installations are hanging just as smoothly this week!

Fading UK sunshine, but a spot-on fit.

As the autumn skies settle in across the UK, catching that low seasonal light comes down to a clean, precise window setup.

A flawless wooden blind installation relies on exact measurements—calculating recess depth, allowing clearance for window handles, and ensuring the bottom rail sits completely flush against uneven sills. When the drop is plotted correctly in the workroom, it mounts cleanly straight out of the box without on-site adjustments.

When you’re specifying multiple Roman blinds in the same room—or across a bay window—getting horizontal patterns and rod pockets to line up across every window requires careful planning on the plotting bench.

We plot each fabric drop to ensure stripe repeats and motifs align seamlessly from blind to blind.
