Choosing Fabrics: A Key Element of the Project
One of our main areas of expertise as upholsterers and interior decorators lies in the selection of fabrics. Each upholstery fabric has specific properties that influence both the aesthetic result and the comfort of use.
Sheer fabrics allow natural light to enter while maintaining a sense of privacy. For a refined finish, we notably create weighted-bottom sheers, whose weighted hem ensures a perfectly straight drape without curling.
On the other hand, blackout fabrics are ideal for bedrooms or any space requiring complete darkness. Velvet adds a sense of elegance while significantly improving the acoustic and thermal comfort of a room.
Other materials such as linen, cotton, or silk offer lighter finishes suited to contemporary or classic interiors.
Some curtains also require lining. We offer standard linings to protect fabrics from sunlight, as well as thermal and insulating linings, particularly suitable for door curtains — curtains installed on doors to improve insulation by regulating temperature and reducing noise pollution.
Our fabric choices therefore combine aesthetics, comfort, and functionality.
Different Installation Methods and Hanging Systems
Beyond fabric selection, the way a curtain is installed plays an essential role in the final result. Thanks to our expertise as upholsterers and interior decorators, we advise our clients on the most suitable mechanism for their interiors, depending on the type of window, ceiling height, or width of the glazed openings.
For high ceilings, pinch pleat curtains, with structured sewn pleats, create an elegant and architectural drape. They can be made with eyelets or hooks and suit both classic and contemporary interiors.
For large bay windows, wave curtains installed on tracks create wide, regular, and modern folds. The hooks can be visible or concealed depending on the desired finish and the amount of light intended to circulate.
Eyelet curtains, more relaxed in style, integrate rings directly into the fabric for smooth movement along the curtain rod.
There is also a hook system that allows the curtain to be removed easily without dismantling the rod, while allowing more light to pass above the window.
We offer different types of curtain rods (curved, flat, or straight), all custom-made to suit each configuration.
Finishes are equally important: we create different types of hems to structure the folds and enhance the drape of the fabric. For the most refined creations, we add trimmings or leather details, turning the curtain into a true couture upholstery piece.
The Advantages of Bespoke Curtains
Choosing bespoke curtains allows you to create unique window treatments perfectly adapted to your interior.
Made-to-measure solutions offer complete freedom in the choice of materials, textures, colours, and finishes.
We support our clients — private homeowners, interior designers, agencies, and hoteliers — in selecting colours, finishes, and fixing systems to ensure perfect harmony with the entire interior design project.
We also handle the installation through our team of experts, ensuring a perfectly controlled result from manufacturing to fitting.
Working with an upholsterer and interior decorator for bespoke curtains means transforming a simple window treatment into a genuine element of interior architecture, carefully designed down to the smallest detail to be functional, elegant, and durable.
