Custom Made Curtains

Where to buy?

Custom made curtains can be bought through Harvey Furnishings' 11 stores around the North Island or through our free home consultation service.

Basic custom made pencil pleat curtains in plain thermal fabrics are available online through Harvey Furnishings' eCustom curtain making service.

What size?

If buying in store or online you will need to provide your own measurements. Find out how to measure your windows for curtains before starting out.

If you're not sure or just don't want the responsibility of getting those measurements exactly right, our in-home service is a great choice.

Getting the right fabric

The fabric 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, or arrange a home consultation to see the fabric samples in situ. Colours can change when they are placed next to various hues and in different light, 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 a pretty decorative piece? Different fabrics will provide various levels of these benefits.

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

Backing or lining?

Some fabrics come with thermal or thermal blockout backing. Others can be lined with the fabric of your choice to suit your needs. Harvey Furnishings' staff will help you choose the right option to suit your needs. 

Getting the right look

There are five different pleat styles available (pencil, French, Dutch, New York and inverted) plus eyelet and tab top options for your curtain heading. You can then add flair with pelmets, swags, tails, tiebacks and feature rails and finials. Let Harvey Furnishings' staff help you choose the right look for your home.
