Ready Made Curtains

Soft furnishings are an integral part of our home design. Making the interior of your home comfortable as well as stylish and eye catching is not always as easy as you may think!

Choosing the right kind of window dressing for your home is vital to your look - curtains and blinds can either enhance or ruin the look of a room! Selecting the right styles of drapery for your home is extremely important. You can opt for either ready made curtains or, for more flexibility and choice, choose made to measure curtains .

Ready made curtains are a convenient and cost effective solution for window and door dressing and offer a host of benefits:

Curtains make a decorative statement as well as protect your room from harsh sunlight, dust and temperature extremes. In winter they help in keeping in the warmth in your home, in summer they keep out harsh sunlight thereby preventing the room overheating and your furniture from fading. Using the option of blackout linings, either instead of or in addition to your existing curtain linings, offers additional protection. Detachable blackout curtain linings are also widely available in the marketplace.

In addition, having your curtains made to measure involves a long and time consuming process of selecting fabric, measuring up, calculating fabric requirements, explaining to your curtain maker your desired style and then waiting for days or even weeks for the curtains to be made for you. Ready made curtains save you all this trouble!

The ready made curtains available through Utopia Soft Furnishings come in a variety of widths, customised lengths and with accessories such as cushion, tiebacks and valances. They are also available in various fabrics and in both contemporary and tradtional styles. Tying in your curtain design to the rest of the room by positioning a couple of matching cushions on chairs or the bed instantly enhances the decor.

Ready made curtains are available in a variety of fabrics, colors, designs and styles such as Eyelet Curtains, Tab Top Curtains and curtains with traditional pencil pleat headings. The curtain fabrics include a wide range of prints, chenille, voile, faux silk, jaquard, taffeta, faux suede, polyesyer, polycotton and cotton.

To enhance your look, team your curtains with blinds or valances. Using blinds offers the option of using your blind as the functional aspect of your window dressing, hanging curtains purely as a decorative aspect - in this scenario you may have the option of saving money by buying a smaller width of curtain if they are not required to close.

Caring for curtains

You should also make sure you take good care of your curtains as this will ensure long life and durability. Lightly dust or wipe your curtains with a damp cloth regularly. Using the oozzle attachment on your vaccuum cleaner is a good option for maintaining your curtains. Many ready made curtains are machine washable these days, the best option for all others is dry cleaning.
