Give your home a little extra warmth this Christmas with bespoke curtains from D&R Furnishers

From fabrics and curtain headings to measuring and fitting, D&R Furnishers explains how bespoke curtains can bring warmth, character and elegance to your home this Christmas – and throughout the year.


There is a particular magic to a home at Christmas. As the days grow shorter and the evenings draw in, we find ourselves wanting our interiors to feel warmer, softer and more inviting. Candles are lit, the fire is glowing and rooms take on a new importance as we gather with family and friends.

For us at D&R Furnishers, beautifully dressed windows are an important part of creating that atmosphere. We have always believed that curtains should do more than simply frame a window. They should compliment the architecture of a room, enhance the character of a home and, most importantly, feel as though they belong there. This is why we take such care with our bespoke curtain service, creating made-to-measure window dressings that are unique to each customer and their home.

Rather than choosing something purely for Christmas, we encourage our customers to consider how their curtains will look and feel throughout the year. Choosing the perfect fabric is only part of the process, albeit an enjoyable one, especially in our showroom.

Discover a range of curtain headings, from classic pencil pleat and double or triple pinch pleat to the clean lines of a contemporary wave heading. The finishing details can make all the difference from pelmets, tiebacks, swags and tails, and give us the opportunity to create something truly individual to you.

Our experienced team is on hand to guide customers through the options, from colour and pattern to texture and practicality. Take home fabric and detail samples, allowing you to see how your chosen material works alongside your existing furnishings, flooring and paint colours before making a final decision.

What’s more, we can take care of measuring and fitting, ensuring that every curtain is made to the correct proportions and finished beautifully. For us, this is what bespoke furnishing is all about: thoughtful design, traditional craftsmanship and attention to the details that make a house feel like home.

And if you are hoping to have your new curtains in place for Christmas, now is the time to start planning. Our usual bespoke curtain service takes around six weeks.

Simply pop into our showroom or make an appointment on our website dandrfurnishers.co.uk.

Christmas provides the perfect excuse to give your interiors a little extra warmth and elegance. And with beautifully made curtains, that feeling can remain long after the decorations have been packed away.
