Curtains
Brown curtains, made to measure
Every pair on this page is cut and sewn to the window it is going on — the drop measured from your pole, the width worked out from the heading you pick, and the lining chosen for what the room actually needs. Linens, cottons and velvets, hand-finished in Britain, then hung and dressed by the fitter who brought them.

Start with the heading
Four ways a curtain can hang
The heading changes how much wall the curtains stack back onto, how deep the folds sit and, quite often, the price. Pick a style to filter the ranges below.
Eyelet
Metal rings run straight onto the pole, so the fabric falls in deep, even waves and draws with one pull.
Pencil pleat
A gathered tape you can tighten to suit the window. The one heading that works on a pole or a track.
Pinch pleat
Pleats hand-formed in groups and stitched to hold. The most tailored option, and the one that stacks tightest.
Wave
A continuous S-fold on a corded track. Clean and contemporary, and it needs a proper wall run to stack back onto.

Explained
Brown curtains, explained
Brown curtains cover more than one look. In this filter you will see warm taupes, oatmeals, rusts, bark-like textures and brown used within prints, rather than one flat chocolate shade throughout. That makes brown a practical choice if you want warmth without the heaviness of very dark fabric. The sample ranges include plain weaves, painterly florals, geometrics and textured finishes, with headings such as eyelet, pencil pleat, pinch pleat and some wave styles. Your advisor can bring the full sample range to your home so you can see which brown reads right in your own light.
Brown curtains suit rooms that lean warm and settled rather than sharp and high-contrast. They sit comfortably with natural woods, soft neutrals, muted greens and older houses where white can feel too stark.
Best for
- Adding warmth to grey, cream and stone rooms
- Living rooms and bedrooms where a softer neutral feels better than stark white
- Schemes using wood, leather, black metal or brass details
- Patterned curtains where brown sits alongside other muted tones
Worth knowing
- This colour filter appears broad: some fabrics read more taupe, oatmeal or rust than true brown
- A few sample ranges look mis-tagged, with blind-only or mixed-product entries appearing in a curtains colour filter
- Pattern and texture affect how brown reads, so check samples against your wall colour and flooring
How to choose
- 1
Pick the kind of brown, not just the label
Some fabrics here are warm and earthy, others sit closer to taupe, oatmeal or mushroom. If you want a true brown, check whether the colour comes from the ground fabric or only from the pattern, as that changes the overall effect at the window.
- 2
Match the heading to the room
Eyelet curtains feel relaxed and suit poles. Pencil pleat is flexible for pole or track. Pinch pleat gives a more tailored finish, while wave creates a softer, continuous line. The same brown fabric can look quite different once made up.

Think about light and lining together
Brown tones can look richer in bright rooms and deeper in low light. If the room needs more shading or warmth, ask about blackout, thermal lining or interlining. Your advisor can hold samples at the window and talk through the options.
Brown curtains: questions people ask
Are these all plain brown curtains?
No. From the sample ranges, this filter includes plain weaves, textured fabrics and patterned designs where brown is one of several colours. Some read as taupe or oatmeal overall, while others use brown as an accent within florals or geometrics.
Will brown curtains make a room look darker?
Not necessarily. A lighter oatmeal or taupe fabric can keep a room feeling soft and open, while deeper rust or bark tones add more weight. The lining matters too, especially if you are choosing blackout or thermal options. Seeing the fabric at your own window helps.
Which heading works best with brown fabrics?
That depends on the look you want. Eyelet tends to feel more casual, pencil pleat is versatile, pinch pleat looks more tailored and wave gives a smoother, more contemporary line. Brown fabrics can work with any of them, but texture and pattern will show differently in each fold.
Can I have brown curtains with a blind at the same window?
Yes, that is a common arrangement. A blind can sit in the reveal with curtains fitted outside it. It works well if you want the softness of curtains around the window but also want the practicality of a blind behind them.
Are there brown options suitable for kitchens or doors?
From the sample data, several ranges are tagged for kitchen curtains and door curtains. In these spaces it is often worth choosing a fabric that feels practical as well as warm in colour. Your advisor can show suitable curtain fabrics and confirm what will work best on the day.

How eyelet curtains work
Tap a number to see what each part does, and what you'll be choosing at your appointment.
1. Eyelets
Metal rings through the heading sit straight on the pole, with no hooks or gliders in between — very little to catch or snag.
Your advisor brings samples of every option to your window, so you can see and feel them before you choose.
Autumn
The evenings are drawing in
Now's the time to sort the windows you've been meaning to do — blackout for the bedrooms, warmer layers for the living room. An advisor brings the samples to your windows, free.

Why our curtains service is right for you
01
Sewn to your drop, not a size chart
Shop-bought curtains come in fixed widths and drops. Ours are cut to the pole or track you actually have, so the hem lands where you want it — at the sill, below it, or just breaking on the floor.
02
Enough fabric to hang properly
A curtain that looks thin is nearly always a curtain that was not given enough width. We work to a proper fullness for the heading you choose, so the folds stay deep even when the curtains are drawn.
03
The lining does the hard work
Standard lining for body and drape, blackout for a bedroom, thermal for a cold north wall or a single-glazed bay. The lining decides how the room feels far more than the face fabric does.
04
Poles, tracks and dressing included
We measure the wall rather than just the window, fit the pole or track level, then hang and dress the curtains so the pleats set in from the first day.
Finance options available. We offer flexible ways to pay so a whole-house refresh doesn't have to land in one go. Your advisor will talk you through what's available at your appointment.

What people hang behind them
Plenty of rooms end up with a blind as well as a curtain — for blackout, for daytime privacy, or simply because a radiator or window seat rules out a full drop.

Curtains: your questions answered
Headings, linings, poles and pairing curtains with a blind on the same window.
Which curtain heading should I choose?
Eyelet curtains run straight onto a pole and fall in deep, even waves — the simplest to draw. Pencil pleat is a gathered tape that works on a pole or a track. Pinch pleat is hand-formed in groups and stitched, which is the most tailored look and stacks tightest. Wave hangs from a track in a continuous S-curve and suits large modern windows.
What difference does the lining make?
A standard lining protects the fabric and improves how it hangs. Thermal lining measurably helps a cold or draughty room. Blackout lining is what you want in a bedroom. Interlining adds weight and body for a heavier, more expensive drape.
Do you supply the poles and tracks?
Yes, and your fitter puts them up. Getting the pole height and width right is part of the job — curtains that clear the sill and stack off the glass need the pole set beyond the opening.
Can I have curtains and a blind on the same window?
Very common. A slim roller or roman inside the reveal gives you blackout and privacy, with curtains face-fitted outside it for warmth and dressing. Your advisor will check the reveal is deep enough for both to work.
Is fitting included in the price?
Yes. The quote you are given covers the product, the fitting and the guarantee. Your fitter hangs everything, checks the operation with you and takes the packaging away.
How is a quote worked out?
By the size of each opening, the product and fabric you choose, the heading or mechanism, and any motorisation. Because everything is made to your measurements there is no single list price — you get a written figure on the day, itemised per window, with the fitting and guarantee included.
What guarantee do I get?
A 1-year guarantee on every blind, shutter and motor we supply and fit. If something goes wrong inside that period, ring the office and we come back out.
