Greyhat Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Anyone got any experience, advice or suggestions for made to measure curtains at a reasonable or cheap price? Had a Google around but if anyone has anything to add on the subject I'd be all ears. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I just went in a local shop, they came to my home did some measurements and I found it cheap. But was around 5500 for 2 sets of curtains the white see through and the total dark ones. They were installed for the price too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhat Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Cheers @robblok, I'll bare that in mind. I don't mind doing a bit of measuring and fitting myself, really just need them to be cut to the right size. It's only a rail, I'd feel silly having someone come round for a few turns of a screw.

Its usually included in the price.. plenty of small curtain shops around just have to look a bit. My windows were quite big 360 cm wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 might wanna look at lazada.com if you got standard sized windows...about 3 years ago I got 3 sets of blackout curtains for the bedroom (2 panels each and used simple curtain hooks from tescos) for windows sized 1 x 1.5m for a good price and now it's dark cool and quiet in the bedroom the way I like, like a tomb...a bit of the dawn chorus on the shophouse front terrace about 0530hrs which is nice...

Greyhat Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 @tutsiwarrior Thanks for the reply. I've looked at lazada but unfortuantely I've got a bit of a weird "L" shaped thing going on with a corner with a corner window on a separate rail. So I need it custom made I guess as the shorter part of the "L" is only about 30cm or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Ikea sells a wide range of curtains and accessories. For one odd window I have, I bought some material I liked, pinned it the way I wanted it sewn and used a local sidewalk seamstress to do the sewing. She did an excellent job and charged so little that I felt compelled to give her extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhat Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Nice one @dddave I've not considered Ikea nor a getting them adjusted by a street seamstress. Good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
