Why Choose Made-to-Measure Over Ready-Made Curtains?

Have you ever felt disappointed after hanging your new, ready-made curtains?

Choosing the right curtains for your home can be challenging. While the lower cost of ready-made curtains may seem more appealing on paper, they may not look quite as attractive on your windows.

Made-to-measure curtains are an investment in your home: designed to fit perfectly, tailored to suit your personal style, and crafted to last so guests will be complimenting your windows for years to come.

Despite the higher upfront cost, made-to-measure can save you time, energy, and money in the long run.

Below are five reasons why they could be the best option for your home.

1. Fit

Ready-made curtains are mass-produced in the same shape and style, differing only in size. This means that you might end up with curtains that are too short or long for your window – this can lead to drafts or unwanted light getting in, compromising both comfort and privacy.

Made-to-measure eliminates this risk, giving you peace of mind knowing that your curtains will fit your windows precisely.

2. Customisation

Ready-made curtains are often limited in their colours, features and finishes, which can leave you feeling frustrated that you can’t find the right curtain.

After hours of valuable time spent shopping, you may settle for a curtain that is just okay – it does the job, but you’re not truly satisfied. In a couple of years, you decide to switch them for newer, fresher, low-cost ready-made curtains, leading you into a cycle where you ultimately spend even more money on your curtains.

With made-to-measure, you are in control – from fabric and style, down to the finishing touches. You can choose from a wide range of fabrics such as velvet, linen, cotton, and more.  Finally, you can select your finish – whether that is an elegant pencil pleat or contemporary eyelets – you will have the freedom and flexibility to choose a curtain that reflects your unique personality and taste.

At Curtains by Design, we can take this one step further by offering matching accessories, including cushions, bedding, and pelmets, to help you create a cohesive, beautifully designed space.

3. Better Quality

Unlike cheaper, mass-produced ready-made curtains, made-to-measure curtains are handcrafted by experienced seamstresses who take pride in producing excellent pieces. With every inch of fabric intricately tailored to perfection, your curtains will maintain their premium quality for years to come.

4. Value for Money

Designed to last, your made-to-measure curtains will more than pay for themselves in the long run. However, they also have another hidden benefit: energy efficiency.

Since your curtains will be made to properly fit your windows, they will better insulate your home in the winter, meaning more money saved on heating bills.

5. Excellent customer support

By choosing made-to-measure from Curtains by Design, you will receive top-quality support from professionals who know their craft inside out and will work closely with you to ensure that every last detail is just right.

We will help take the stress out of buying curtains by offering guidance every step of the way, so you can relax knowing you’ve made the right choice.
