A duplex apartment in Pan Peninsula with stunning floor to ceiling windows called for a clinical, contemporary look to compliment and augment rather than clutter the minimalist living areas. There was a small practical issue though. [...]
Curtains for bifold doors

We faced a fairly typical situation with a client in Clapham just before Christmas – who wanted a window treatment for their kitchen bifolds.

Curtain solutions for apartment bedrooms
OK, so we’ve had a look at window treatments for apartment sitting rooms/ living spaces – but what about the bedroom? Some of the same rules apply.. others don’t.

One of our customers has a beautiful barn conversion in the heart of the Cotswolds. She’s recently refurbished a wing for B&B guests, and came up with the idea of hanging a curtain across the staircase to give guests staying in the upstairs part of the wing privacy from the rest of the house.

Polka Dot Curtains
