Autumn Curtain Style Guide: How to Layer, Choose Colours and Keep Cosy

There’s a moment every autumn when you notice it. The light has turned a little golden, the evenings are drawing in, and the sofa is calling a good hour earlier than it did in August. It’s the perfect time to look at your windows with fresh eyes. Curtains do more than most of us give them credit for. They frame the view, soften the light and give you privacy, and with the right lining they help hold on to the warmth too. Change them for the season and the whole... Read More

The Complete Hardware Guide: Curtain Tracks, Poles & Rods from Net Curtains Direct

Sapphire vs Botley: Which One Suits Your Window?

If you’ve been browsing our range and found yourself torn between Sapphire and Botley, you’re not alone. They’re two of our most popular plain white panels, and at first glance they can look fairly similar in a thumbnail. Look a little closer, though, and they’re built for slightly different jobs. Sapphire is our plain white voile, made by Finesse. Botley is our plain white net curtain. Both are made to measure in the UK, both come with a weighted hem so they hang beautifully, and both are available in white... Read More

Now, we’ve expanded the palette even further, giving you more of those soft, natural tones to play with – whether you’re refreshing a much-loved room or starting from scratch... Read More

Why Sophie is one of our best-selling net curtains, and how to choose the right style for summer

If you’ve spent any time browsing net curtains, you’ve probably come across Sophie without realising how many customers already have one. It’s a traditional, damask-inspired pattern, an all-over floral and swirl design with a neat scallop hem, and it’s one of our best-selling designs for a simple reason: it does the job a net curtain is meant to do, and it does it well, whatever the season. Summer is when that matters most. Longer days and brighter light mean more hours where your rooms are visible from outside, right when... Read More

The under counter finishing touch you’ll love – The Heritage Kitchen Edit

The finishing touch your kitchen has been missing There’s a particular kind of kitchen that feels considered from every angle. Not one that’s been styled to within an inch of its life, or that looks better on Instagram than it does on a Tuesday morning — but one where every detail has been quietly, deliberately thought about. The worktops. The handles. The way crockery is stored. And then finally, the finishing touches. “They’re not the curtains you settle for. They’re the ones you choose.” Under the counter, not over the... Read More
