The perfect pair of pencil pleat curtains
The only sure fire way of getting everything you want in your new curtains is to have them made. That is to order a pair of made to measure curtains.
Will they cost a lot more than ready made curtains ? The answer is YES and NO ! What I mean is in general they will cost more when you first buy them. However some quality ready mades can cost a fair old price.
You generally pay more for made to measure... but you will also get a lot more for your money as well. such as...
- 1,000's of fabrics to choose from

Don't made to measure curtains cost a lot?
The answer again is YES and No !
In most cases you will probably find that your new custom made curtains will cost more than regular ready made curtains. However that does not reflect the true cost of buying and owning good quality made to order curtains.
To arrive at the true cost you need to break it down over the life time of your new curtains. Most quality curtains will still look great in 10 years time.
So if you divide the
purchase price by a minimum of 10 years. The real cost of owning quality
made to measure curtains is really very low. This applies to buying any quality item for your home.
The reason they last so long and look so good is because they are made to a much higher standard. Also they are made with good quality curtain linings. This gives them greater protection from the sun. They also just look and hang better when lined.
