Made to Measure Curtains
Do you have any Duck Egg blue curtains?
Duck Egg curtains offer a light blue finish. This wonderful colour manages to suit all rooms. One of its strengths is that duck egg blue goes with so many other colours, for instance, oranges, other blues, greens and greys so your duck egg curtains will work everywhere.
Duck Egg blue curtains are our best-selling product. This colour was inspired by the Farrow and Ball colour 'Light Blue'. Vanessa created her first Duck Egg Blue living room design 25 years ago, hand mixing paint and printed curtain fabrics to blend with the room.
She was so charmed by this colour that she took it on into her collections over the next 19 years and it has proved to stand the test of time.
The shade of our duck egg blue colour fabric is a hard colour to describe...neither just blue...nor green, nor grey...but a blend of all of them.
It is a colour that never dates in our view and is very easy on the eye; it doesn't challenge the eye in busy kitchens and living room designs and equally creates a serene feeling of calm.
The main Duck Egg blue fabric designs are Cow Parsley, Acorn and Leaf, Swallow Dive, Down to Earth, and Flora and Fauna, to name a few.
There are many coordinating fabrics for the main Duck Egg Blue fabrics, mainly stripes, spots and plains; see French Ticking, Stockholm Stripe, Pretty Maids and Plain Dotty as a few examples. Maybe use these as a leading edge to your duck egg blue curtains?

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:
Width: If 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.
