Curtains
Yellow 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
Yellow curtains, explained
Yellow curtains cover quite a wide range, from soft oat and primrose tones through mustard, chartreuse and richer golden velvets. In this filter, that means both plain weaves and more decorative designs, including stripes, botanicals and larger prints. You will also see different headings across the ranges, such as eyelet, pencil pleat, pinch pleat and wave, with blackout and thermal options in some fabrics. If you want a warmer colour without going too bright, yellow is often a useful middle ground: lighter shades lift a room, while deeper ochre and mustard tones add weight.
Yellow curtains sit well in warm neutrals, navy, soft green and natural wood. The deeper ochre and mustard end of the filter particularly suits older houses and rooms with darker paintwork.
Best for
- Living rooms and bedrooms that need a warmer, less stark colour than grey or white
- Plain schemes that need some colour without switching to a busy pattern
- Traditional or country-style rooms where mustard, gold and floral yellows sit comfortably
- North-facing rooms where warmer yellow tones can make the window area feel less cold
- Curtains paired with neutral walls, timber furniture or dark paint colours
Worth knowing
- This colour filter includes a spread of yellows, from muted sandy tones to stronger mustard and chartreuse shades, so check each fabric in person
- Some ranges here are patterned or textured rather than plain, even though the colour family is yellow
- Not every yellow curtain range offers every heading or lining option, so ask your advisor what is available in your chosen fabric
How to choose
- 1
Pick the yellow by depth, not just by name
A pale butter or oat-yellow will read very differently from mustard or gold once it is hanging full length. Lighter yellows tend to keep a room easy and airy, while deeper shades feel cosier and more decorative.
- 2
Decide whether you want plain fabric or pattern
This filter includes both. Plain weaves such as linen-look textures are easier to live with across larger windows, while stripes, botanical trails and larger prints make more of a feature of the curtains themselves.
- 3
Match the heading to the room
Eyelet gives a simpler, more relaxed look on a pole. Pencil pleat is flexible on a pole or track. Pinch pleat looks more tailored, while wave gives a continuous, softer fold on a track. Your advisor can show what suits the fabric best.
Yellow curtains: questions people ask
Are the yellow curtains in this filter all plain fabrics?
No. The sample ranges show a mix of plain textured weaves, velvets, stripes, botanicals and larger printed designs. If you want a quieter look, focus on the plain or softly textured ranges; if you want the curtains to be more noticeable, the patterned options will do that better.
Do yellow curtains work in a bedroom, or are they too bright?
They can work very well, but it depends on the shade and the lining. Softer yellow, ochre and mustard tones often feel calmer than sharp citrus shades. Several ranges in this filter also come as blackout curtains, which can make a bedroom more practical while keeping the warmer colour.
Which heading suits yellow curtains best?
There is no single best heading; it depends on the look you want. Eyelet feels simpler and more casual, pencil pleat is versatile, pinch pleat is more tailored, and wave looks neat and continuous on a track. Not every range offers every heading, so your advisor will confirm what is available in your chosen fabric.
Will yellow curtains make a room look darker?
Usually the lighter yellows do the opposite and help a room feel warmer and less flat. Deeper mustard and gold shades have more visual weight, so they can make the window area feel richer. Seeing the fabric against your own walls and flooring is the sensible way to judge it.
Can I mix yellow 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 is often a useful way to bring in colour through the curtains while keeping the blind simpler. Your advisor measures each opening and can advise on how the two will sit together.

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.

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.
