Made-to-measure curtains for Cotswold homes
Hundreds of fabrics in the showroom to feel in person, a free home measure, and curtains made and fitted to your windows within four to six weeks.
When made-to-measure is the right call
Most Cotswold windows aren't standard. Stone reveals, lintels at odd heights, deep sills, leaded panes, sash windows over staircases, casements that are wider than tall, and the occasional shaped window over a barn door. Ready-made curtains rarely cope.
Made-to-measure means the curtain is sewn to fit your window exactly: the right drop to the floor or the sill, the right fullness for the fabric weight, the right heading for the pole or track, and the right lining for the room.
It also means you choose the fabric properly. Hundreds of options in the showroom, sample books to take home, and an honest opinion on which ones will hold up to the morning sun versus which ones will fade by the end of the second summer.

We come and measure
Free, anywhere within a 30-mile radius of Broadway. We bring your shortlisted fabrics with us so you can see them hanging by the window in your own light.
We talk through the detail
Lining or interlining, heading style, track or pole, tieback or holdback, length. There are no wrong answers, just different ones.
We quote, in writing
Fabric, making, lining, fitting. One number, no hidden extras.
We make and fit, within four to six weeks
The fitters bring the finished curtains, install the track or pole if needed, hang the curtains, and dress them so they hang properly from day one.
Where the fabric comes from
We carry fabric from Riva, Malini, and several smaller fabric houses on rotation. Each has different strengths: some excel at heavy weaves for big sitting rooms, some are best at light prints for bedrooms, some hold their colour in direct sun better than others. We'll point you towards the right one for the room.
Questions people ask
How long from measure to hung?
Usually four to six weeks. Slower for some hand-finished fabric houses, faster if the fabric is in stock with us already.
Can I supply my own fabric?
We don't make up customer-supplied fabric. Our makers and our suppliers work as a unit and we can't stand behind a job we haven't sourced.
Lining choice?
Three main options. Standard lining for most rooms. Blackout for bedrooms. Interlining (a soft fleece layer between curtain and lining) for sitting rooms and any room where you want the curtain to hang heavily and feel premium.
Pole or track?
Pole reads more traditional. Track sits flush to the wall and disappears into a pelmet or behind the curtain heading. We'll recommend based on the room.
Can you handle bay windows?
Yes. Bay windows need a curved track, which we measure and supply.
Do you do made-to-measure for holiday lets?
Yes. Practical fabrics, harder-wearing linings, often a more economical fabric range. We talk through the right specification for a let.
