Curtains
Kitchen 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
Kitchen curtains, explained
Kitchen curtains soften a practical room without needing to be fussy. In this filter you’ll mostly see made-to-measure curtain fabrics offered in eyelet and pencil pleat headings, from plain textured weaves to botanicals, geometrics, jacquards and some blackout options. A few lighter, voile-style looks appear too. For kitchens, curtains are usually chosen to frame the window, bring in colour or pattern, and take the harder edges off cabinets and tiles. Your advisor brings the full sample range to your home, so you can see each fabric against your own cupboards, worktops and wall colour before deciding.
These ranges suit kitchens that need a softer edge: plain textured cloths for simple schemes, botanical prints for a country feel, and bolder geometrics for more graphic or mid-century interiors.
Best for
- Kitchens where you want more softness and colour than a blind alone gives
- Windows away from the hob or main splash areas
- Combining a blind in the reveal with curtains outside it
- Adding pattern or texture to plain kitchen units and walls
- Door openings or larger kitchen windows that need a more dressed look
Worth knowing
- Real kitchens have steam, grease and splashes, so ask your advisor which fabrics are the more practical choice for your window position
- Curtains that sit too close to a hob or sink are usually less suitable than a wipeable blind
- Some ranges in this filter include blackout or voile options, but the exact heading and lining available depends on the fabric
How to choose
- 1
Start with the window position
Think first about where the curtain will hang. A window near a sink, hob or food prep area usually needs a more considered fabric choice than one on the far side of the room. Your advisor will confirm what suits the position on the day.
- 2
Choose plain, pattern or texture
This filter includes calm neutral weaves, embroidered and printed florals, geometrics and richer velvets. If your kitchen already has busy tiles or worktops, a plain or lightly textured fabric often sits more comfortably. Simpler units can take more pattern.
- 3
Decide how much light control you need
Kitchen curtains are often chosen more for finish than full light blocking, but some fabrics in this filter are also offered as blackout curtains. If privacy matters while keeping the room feeling light, ask your advisor about lining options and whether a voile or paired blind would help.
Kitchen curtains: questions people ask
Are kitchen curtains a good idea if I already have a blind?
Yes. A blind in the reveal with curtains outside it is a common arrangement. It gives you the day-to-day practicality of the blind, while the curtains add colour, texture and a more finished look around the window.
Which curtain heading is usually better in a kitchen: eyelet or pencil pleat?
Eyelet curtains give a simpler, more relaxed fold on a pole. Pencil pleat is a more traditional gathered look and can go on a pole or track. In a kitchen, the choice is usually about the look you prefer and the space around the window.
Can I have blackout lining on kitchen curtains?
Many curtain fabrics are available with blackout lining, and some ranges in this filter are tagged as blackout curtains. It can be useful on kitchen doors or very bright windows, but it depends on the fabric and heading, so ask your advisor to confirm the options.
Do kitchen curtains have to match the rest of the room exactly?
No. In kitchens, curtains often work best when they pick up one or two colours already in the room rather than matching everything exactly. Your advisor can hold samples against your cabinets, wall colour and flooring so you can judge it in your own light.
Are voile curtains included in this kitchen curtain filter?
There appears to be at least one voile-style range in this filter. Voiles are useful where you want a softer look and daytime privacy without making the room feel heavy, though the exact options shown under this filter may vary by range.
How it's made
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.
