Made to Measure Curtains
What are the benefits of curtains in a hallway?
The use of curtains in a hallway has many benefits, including privacy, light control, and heat insulation. Because of their size, they also make a statement in your hallway while incorporating colours already elsewhere to give the space a coherent look. Draught-preventing curtains on front doors in the halls are always a good idea, especially if they are interlined.
Why not add some eye-catching curtains, as some hallways don't end where the stairs start and can continue up the stairs as well? With the help of curtains, you can punctuate the area with colour while also directing attention upward, instantly enhancing the space. In addition to making corridors look neater, tie backs also prevent curtains from becoming trapped/caught if brushed against. We can create tie backs with optional contrast piping for your pair or single curtains.
We advise using softer hues like Damson pinks, light greys, and Duck Egg blues in hallways because there is a lot going on. If you want to incorporate multiple colours that are present in hallway décor already, like rugs/runners, or paintings, then choose from our multi and brightly coloured fabric collection.
My hallway curtains are used a lot, how can I maintain cleanliness?
The best approach to keep your hallway curtains clean is with a leading edge. They are all railroaded so that there are no visible seams throughout and are about 8cm wide. They link the front fabric and the reverse lining together for a flawless finish. If handled regularly, a darker printed, or plain linen union fabric is recommended for the leading edges. However, you are not limited in your choice of fabric for this, so don't feel constrained!

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.
