Plain Linen Union - Day Lily, Dotty Check - Lily Pink, Soft Raspberry, Ochre, and some examples of coordinating fabrics!

Vanessa's Scandinavian Woven Collection now includes this Lapland Stripe colourway, which combines pinks and greens. She enjoys using these colour combinations in both her home, and on photo shoots. The striped design would work well in a room with low ceilings, helping to elongate the space creating a higher looking feel to the room. It's also double-sided and ideal for unlined curtains since, unlike our other printed fabrics, the colours are woven in rather than dyed.

The category for best-sellers features two Wild Fern designs from Vanessa's Forest Collection. This geometric design has been especially popular for curtains hanging in modern or contemporary homes, as seen in a different Ochre yellow colourway below.

One of Vanessa's first designs from her Hand Printed Collection is the Life and Eternity Detail, however, this deep Cornflower blue colourway is a more recent addition. This pattern looks amazing on curtains when used as the primary fabric, but you can also use it as a leading edge if you'd rather because of its small pattern repeat. If you choose the latter, we would advise putting it next to a fabric with a Cornflower blue background. Cow Parsley, Little Fern, Sow and Scatter, among many more, are examples of this. Alternatively, anything in the pink, red, and orange colour palette would be a great place to start if you wanted to add a contrasting colour to your curtains. Below, although in a different colourway, gives you a great visual representation of how well this fabric works as curtains. 

Last but not least, the Little Fern features cream ferns that stand out against the rich Lichen green background. Even though the small pattern repeat could seem overwhelming as curtains in a space, once they're hung, it immediately becomes a prominent highlight and focal point! Below is an example of this in a different colourway.

  

  

  

How to measure up for your curtains:

A video guide to help you measure up 

Please remember that pattern repeats and fabric widths are automatically calculated if you order through our website. It is advisable to fit your pole or track before ordering your curtains. Your pole or track should ideally extend 30cms on each side of the window so when drawn back light is maximised and at least 15cms above the top of the window to block out as little light as possible again. Please use metric units only when measuring.

Poles:

WidthIf you have a pole, measure the distance between the finials. (A)

Finished Length for pencil pleat, triple pleat and double pleat - when measuring the finished length using a curtain pole, we recommend allowing between 2cms and 5cms above the eyelet on the underside of the curtain ring, depending on how much of the pole and rings you wish to hide. From the measurement you choose above the eyelet, measure down to the bottom of the hem (see B & C) and that is your finished length measurement. 

Finished length for cottage pleat (choice of either 5cm or 10cm depth)- these have to be made using a 3cm single position tape, which makes the finished length non adjustable. To measure the finished length for this header, please provide us with the distance from the eyelet to the floor, and depending on your choice of depth, add 5cm or 10cm accordingly.

Finished length for flop over frill - these curtains have to be made with a 3cm single position tape which makes the finished length non adjustable. To measure the finished length for this header, just give us the measurement from the eyelet to the floor. Don't add any extra for the frill, we will do that.

Please note, we will add 25cm for hem allowance.

                                   

                                           

 

Tracks

Width - If you have a track, measure the total length of the track, including any overlap where the curtains meet in the middle.

Finished length: For pencil pleat, triple pleat and double pleat - when measuring the finished length of your curtains using a track add 1cm above the track (to hide the track) down to the bottom of the hem. (D)*

Finished length for cottage pleat (choice of either 5cm or 10cm depth)- these have to be made using a 3cm single position tape, which makes the finished length non adjustable. To measure the finished length for this header, please provide us with the distance from the eyelet to the floor, and depending on your choice of depth, add 5cm or 10cm accordingly.

Finished length for flop over frill curtains - these have to made with a one inch single position tape which makes the finished length non-adjustable. To get your finished length measurement, just give us the measurement from the eyelet to the floor and don't add any extra for the frill as we will do this. 

Please note, we will add 30cms for hem allowance.
