Getting the right fabric

The curtain selection at Harvey Furnishings is vast so it helps to have an idea of what you are looking for before starting your search.

Do you have an overall style theme in mind? Would your home suit a bold retro design, a traditional floral or a clean contemporary look? Do you want to make a statement with your curtains or have them blend with their surroundings so that other features may shine?

Colour is very important and differences can be subtle. If possible, bring paint samples and other key elements that are already in place with you. Colours can change when they are placed next to various hues so, even a basic neutral colour requires contemplation. Not all beiges are created equal!

Finally, you need to think about what you want to achieve with your curtains. Are you looking for daytime privacy, thermal insulation, light blockout or just a pretty decorative piece? Different fabrics will provide various levels of these benefits.

We strongly recommend you browse our curtain range online to get ideas and then talk to our expert staff in store or order a range of fabric swatches before making your final decision.

Backing or lining?

Ready made curtains can come lined, unlined or thermal/thermal blackout backed.

Lined curtains generally have an appealing, soft drape and provide insulation by trapping air between the fabric layers.

Unlined curtains have a similar look but, with just one layer of fabric, they provide a lot less insulation. They can be an excellent budget option.

Thermal curtains, as the name suggests, offer superior insulation and thermal blackout curtains also block light from entering the room - great for shift workers and young children who have daytime sleeps.

Heading style

Harvey Furnishings' ready made curtains can come in either a pencil pleat or eyelet heading style.

Pencil pleat curtains are gathered to the required width and hung on curtain hooks.

Eyelet curtains are hung from a curtain rod and are ungathered.
