What Our Customers Are Asking About Sophie Allport Made To Measure Curtains?
How do I measure for new curtains?
When ordering new made-to-measure curtains, it’s important to measure your windows correctly. Always double-check your measurements to ensure that they are accurate as bespoke curtains are created to fit. If you are wondering how to measure new curtains, read our Curtain Buying & Fitting Guide, which looks into how to select the right curtains for you, and how to measure them depending on the style you choose. It’s also important to note that the window you have sometimes can affect how you measure them. You’ll also find a list of helpful tips for when your new curtains arrive.
Does Sophie Allport offer a bespoke made-to-measure curtain service?
Yes, we offer bespoke curtains that have been made-to-measure your windows exactly. There’s a wide variety of designs to choose from, and these are perfect for the living room, hallway, dining room, bedroom, nursery, and children’s room. Made-to-measure curtains are great as you can choose the different styles that suit you best, from lining options to the header finish (eyelet, pencil pleat, double pinch and triple pinch). You can also choose to add additional lining or a thermal layer, which is perfect for keeping the room insulated, keeping the room warmer in winter and cooler in summer. We also offer bespoke made-to-measure roman blinds and roller blinds.
Are Sophie Allport curtains machine washable?
All of our made-to-measure bespoke curtains can be dry cleaned as standard. Always clean pairs of curtains together and remove any hooks before dry cleaning. We recommend that you hang your curtains and allow them to settle over a few days, the transit creases and folds should drop out. If possible, all curtains should be steamed once hung and allowed to settle for a few days. You may find that some curtains may have impression marks, a steamer or warm iron can be used to remove them, however, please be cautious not to use excessive heat or pressure as this can distort the fabric.
The Benefits Of Made To Measure Curtains?
Curtains are an excellent way to change up the style in your home interior, but they also have extra added benefits each season. We have a wide range of made to measure curtains and ready made curtains in Sophie Allport's popular designs.
Throughout the autumn and winter months, we want our home to be a cosy place ready for cold chilly nights where you can be warm indoors. Curtains can help create a cosy environment as well as add warmth to your room with their thermal properties. When ordering made to measure curtains throughout autumn and winter, you should consider adding a layer of interlining to your curtain fabric. Interlined curtains have an extra layer of fabric between the lining and the face fabric. This helps the curtain appear fuller, but it can also have added thermal qualities, helping to trap the heat in your home, as well as block draughts. You can also choose to select your main lining as thermal; this will ensure the room is insulated to a high standard and can help keep your home warmer.
During the spring and summer months, we have earlier sunrises and later sunsets. Having a blackout lining will mean you won’t get disturbed by the morning sun as you enjoy quality sleep. Blackout lining is a great way to block out the sunlight from your home and allows you to achieve total light control and absolutely privacy too. Blackout curtains are fantastic for children’s rooms and nurseries and will allow you to block out the light as they go down for their daytime nap. We’ve got a wide range of children’s curtains in Sophie’s playful kid's designs.
