Custom curtains fit your window exactly and match your furniture, light and budget. A careful measurement and proper installation make the difference between a cheap-looking drape and a premium finish. Here is how to do it right.

Why Choose Custom Curtains?
Ready-made curtains come in fixed sizes, so they often end too short or too narrow. Custom curtains are cut to your window width and ceiling height, with the fabric, lining, fullness and header you prefer.
Types of Window Curtains
- Sheer curtains: soft daylight and privacy.
- Blackout curtains: light blocking for bedrooms. See our blackout comparison.
- Dimout curtains: reduce light but are not totally dark.
- Layered (double) curtains: sheer plus heavy drape on a double track or rod.
- Office curtains: neutral, durable fabrics with a flame-retardant option for commercial spaces.
Choosing Fabric and Colour
Linen and cotton blends feel natural and breathe well. Velvet looks rich and insulates, but is heavy. Polyester blends resist fading and are easy to wash. In sunny rooms use fade-resistant fabric with lining. Choose colours that complement the walls and furniture; neutrals are safe and darker shades add drama.
Header Styles
Pencil pleat, pinch pleat, eyelet and wave (S-fold) are the most popular. Eyelet curtains slide easily on rods; wave curtains look sleek on tracks; pinch pleats give a formal, tailored look.
How to Measure for Curtains
- Decide whether you will use a rod or a track, and fix it first.
- Measure the width of the rod or track and multiply by 2 to 2.5 for fullness.
- Measure drop from the rod or track to just above the floor, or 1 to 2 cm below the sill for short curtains.
- Add allowance for hems and header.
Curtain Installation Steps
- Mark the bracket positions 10 to 15 cm above the frame and 15 to 20 cm beyond each side.
- Drill and fix brackets using proper wall plugs; use extra support for wide spans.
- Mount the rod or track and check the level.
- Hang the curtains and adjust the pleats.
- Fine-tune the length and tie-backs.
