Made-to-Measure Curtains in Edinburgh
Beautiful curtains, made in our Leith workshop and professionally fitted. Choose from hundreds of fabrics, multiple heading styles, and pair with our blinds for a layered, finished look.
Curtains Made in Edinburgh, Not Ordered from a Catalogue
Most curtain companies in Edinburgh take your measurements and send them off to a factory. You wait weeks, pay a premium, and hope for the best. We do it differently.
Every pair of curtains we sell is cut, sewn, and finished in our Leith workshop. We use fabrics from Louvolite, one of the UK's leading fabric suppliers, giving you access to hundreds of colours, patterns, and weights. Because we manufacture in-house, we control the quality and the timeline.
From your first call to professionally fitted curtains is typically 2 to 3 weeks. We handle everything: measuring, fabric advice, manufacturing, poles or tracks, and fitting. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Curtain Styles and Headings
The heading style determines how your curtains hang and gather. We bring samples so you can see the difference in person.
Pencil Pleat
The classic, versatile choice. Tightly gathered folds that work on both poles and tracks, making them suitable for almost any window type including bay windows. The gathering can be adjusted to suit your window width. Our most popular curtain heading and a safe choice if you are not sure which style to go for.
Eyelet
Metal rings punched into the fabric at regular intervals, threaded directly onto a pole. This creates deep, even, uniform folds that look striking in modern living rooms and bedrooms. Eyelets glide smoothly along the pole, making them easy to open and close. Available in chrome, brushed nickel, brass, and matt black finishes.
Pinch Pleat
Two or three pleats pinched and stitched together at regular intervals, creating a structured, tailored look. This is a more formal heading that works beautifully in dining rooms, front-facing living rooms, and bay windows. Pinch pleat curtains use more fabric than pencil pleat, giving them a fuller, more luxurious drape.
Wave
Soft, continuous S-shaped folds that create a clean, minimalist ripple effect. Wave curtains require a specialist wave track system with gliders set at precise intervals. This is the most contemporary heading style we offer and looks particularly striking on large windows and open-plan spaces where clean lines matter.
Goblet
Wine-glass-shaped pleats at the top that fan out into full fabric below. A statement heading that commands attention and suits formal rooms with tall windows and high ceilings. Goblet curtains work best with heavier fabrics like velvet, chenille, or interlined cotton, and are typically used in rooms where the curtains are more decorative than functional.
Tab Top
Fabric loops stitched to the top of the curtain that thread directly over a pole. This creates a casual, relaxed look that shows more of the pole as a design feature. Best suited to lighter fabrics like linen and cotton in bedrooms, children's rooms, and informal living spaces where a laid-back feel is the goal.
Best of Both
Pair Curtains with Blinds
One of the most popular choices among our Edinburgh customers is combining curtains with blinds. A roller blind or roman blind handles the practical side, light control and privacy, while the curtains add warmth, texture, and a finished look.
This combination works particularly well in bedrooms, where a blackout roller blind behind decorative curtains gives you complete darkness for sleeping without sacrificing style. In living rooms, a sheer voile blind behind heavier curtains creates layers of light control throughout the day.
Because we manufacture both blinds and curtains in-house, we can match fabrics, coordinate colours, and ensure everything fits together perfectly. We handle the full installation in a single visit.
Choosing Curtains for Every Room
The right fabric, lining, and heading style depends on the room. Here is what we recommend based on years of fitting curtains across Edinburgh homes.
Living Rooms
This is where curtains make the biggest impact. Choose a heavier fabric with standard or thermal lining for warmth and presence. Pinch pleat or eyelet headings create a structured, finished look. For bay windows, a curved track with pencil pleat curtains follows the shape of the bay beautifully.
Bedrooms
Blackout lining is essential if you are a light sleeper, especially during Edinburgh's long summer evenings. A heavier fabric with blackout lining also improves insulation, keeping the room warmer in winter. Eyelet curtains work well here as they open and close smoothly on a pole.
Dining Rooms
Formal rooms suit more structured heading styles like pinch pleat or goblet. These create an elegant, tailored look that frames the window without dominating the room. Pair with a roman blind behind for light control while the curtains add the finishing touch.
Bay Windows
Edinburgh is full of beautiful bay windows and curtains are the classic way to dress them. We supply and fit curved bay tracks that follow the shape of your bay precisely. Pencil pleat curtains on a bay track draw smoothly around the curve. For a more contemporary look, a wave heading on a specialist wave track creates clean, even folds.
Tall Windows and Period Properties
Georgian and Victorian Edinburgh homes often have tall windows with high ceilings. Floor-length curtains in a heavier fabric make these windows a feature rather than a challenge. Goblet or pinch pleat headings suit the proportions of taller windows and add a sense of grandeur.
Children's Rooms
Blackout lining helps with nap times and early bedtimes. Choose a durable, washable fabric in a fun pattern or colour. Tab top curtains on a pole are a relaxed, safe option with no cords or chains. We can also pair curtains with a blackout roller blind behind for maximum darkness.
What Affects the Cost of Curtains?
Curtain pricing varies more than blinds because there are more variables involved. The main factors are window width and drop (taller windows need more fabric), the fabric itself (heavier woven fabrics cost more than lightweight cottons), the heading style (pinch pleat and goblet use significantly more fabric than pencil pleat), and the lining choice.
Poles, tracks, and bay window track systems are quoted separately but always fitted at the same time as your curtains. There are no hidden costs. The price we quote after measuring includes everything: fabric, making up, lining, fitting, and any hardware.
Because we manufacture in our own workshop rather than ordering from a factory, we cut out the middleman markup. You get better quality at a fairer price, with a faster turnaround than companies that outsource their manufacturing.

Curtains vs Blinds: Which Is Right for You?
Both are made in our workshop. Many customers choose both for different rooms, or pair them together on the same window.
| Curtains | Blinds | |
|---|---|---|
| Warmth and insulation | Excellent, especially with thermal interlining | Good with thermal roller blinds |
| Light control | Open or closed, limited in-between | Adjustable (venetians) or full blackout (rollers) |
| Best for | Living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, bay windows | Kitchens, bathrooms, offices, any room |
| Moisture rooms | Not recommended for bathrooms | Yes, with moisture-resistant fabrics |
| Visual impact | Soft, warm, luxurious | Clean, minimal, modern |
| Combined | Many customers use both: blinds for function, curtains for style. We manufacture and fit both in a single visit. | |

Fabric and Lining Options
We bring fabric samples to your home so you can see and feel the materials in your own light before deciding.
Unlined
Light and airy. Lets natural light through while adding softness. Best for rooms where privacy is not the main concern.
Standard Lining
A cotton sateen lining that improves drape, protects fabric from sun damage, and adds a layer of insulation. Our most popular choice.
Blackout Lining
Blocks light completely. Essential for bedrooms and nurseries. Available with any fabric in our range.
Thermal Interlining
A thick, insulating layer between the fabric and lining. Reduces heat loss through windows. Ideal for older Edinburgh properties and sash windows.
