Pre-Christmas Delivery, Order by 20th November

It’s that time of year again! With Christmas around the corner we ask that your curtain and roman blinds orders are placed by Wednesday 20th November for pre-Christmas delivery. This is subject to fabric stock being available at the time of your order. Our sales team are available to check the stock levels before your order is placed. If your chosen fabric is out of stock our team will be able to advice on timescales or help find alternatives.

Many Brands offer a wallpaper calculator on their website and we are happy to help where we can. Please note the calculator would only provide an estimate amount and we recommend that you double-check with whomever is doing the decorating before you order. Most Brands offer reservation services for any additional rolls you might need rather than ordering surplus.

Wide width wallpapers are usually sold in metre lengths. We have a guide to calculate the quantity needed upon request.

The made to measure quotation shows the fabric quantity our workroom would require. This will give you a good guide, but we would always recommend you get whomever is making the curtains or blinds to check how much fabric they will need based on their turnings and allowances.

As per our Returns Policy, we do not accept returns of partial non-faulty orders. Many brands offer a reservation service to reserve any additional rolls if you are unsure of the quantity. You can see our Returns Policy.

Each fabric will have the manufacturer’s intended uses as part of the product details. If the fabric you are interested in can be used for upholstery we would recommend you get in touch to discuss your order further. The majority of fabrics are supplied non-FR Treated as standard, please contact our sales team if you require the fabric to be supplied FR Treated for domestic or contract upholstery use.

Please note that the majority of fabrics on our website are priced for non-FR Treated stock. There may be an additional charge if the fabric requires further treatment.

If the fabric or wallpaper has a half-drop pattern repeat this means the design will appear to run diagonally across the width. When making curtains or blinds, you will need to consider that when calculating the quantity required. We would recommend you get a sample of the product first and do some online research if you have not used a half-drop pattern before.

For most brands, yes simply find your fabrics, add to the cart and purchase.  Some Brands such as Romo/ Villa Nova & Colefax & Fowler/ Jane Churchill are sold as Made to Measure products only.

Our minimum order is 1 metre for the majority of fabrics, but from thereon we can accept orders for part-metres (to the nearest 10cm). Simply add the fabric to your shopping basket and type in the quantity you require (eg. 3.4).

Silk fabrics may have slubs and slight imperfections that are a vital part of the intrinsic beauty and natural characteristics. These would not be considered defects and add to the natural texture of the fabric design. We would always recommend you have seen the fabric in person before placing an order; via a local stockist or ordering a sample.

Yes, Curtains/ Blinds will always be pattern-matched.  When ordering 2 or more items in the same fabric with the same drop, they will be pattern-matched to each other.
If ordering 2 or more items in the same fabric but with different drops we will pattern match from the top as standard. If you would prefer from the bottom please specify in your special instructions during checkout or contact the sales team. We do not pattern-match Curtains to Blinds, or vice versa.

Checks & Geometric Patterns: Every effort will be made to ensure the pattern runs straight across your Blind or Curtain. Fabric is naturally a malleable product and we therefore cannot guarantee the design will run straight across. If you have any queries please do get in touch before placing your order.

Yes, always.  We may be able to offer a reservation service for additional rolls (depending on the brand) if you are unsure of the quantity required. If you already have some wallpaper and find you need to order more from the same batch, please specify the batch number required in the ‘Order Notes’ section when ordering. We would recommend that you check if the batch is in stock prior to ordering.
