Curtains & Blinds

Wave tape, fan pinch, pinch pleat, double track, single tracks, or blockout lining?

The process of selecting and installing custom curtains and blinds can be daunting, perplexing, and unnecessarily expensive – but since you’re reading this, that’s not going to be your reality!

There are so many factors to keep in mind, like the size of the space, the look and feel you’ve envisioned, the ceiling design, the cornice size, the movement of the sun, etc. Do you need blinds or a second rail with blockout? We can help you with all of these decisions!

Our friendly team has a wealth of experience and can offer any assistance you need in your journey to creating your interior. From selecting the most suitable fabrics and materials for your space and budget to ensuring accurate measurements and precise installation – there’s really no project too big or too small.

We work with homeowners, partner with interior designers, and collaborate with architects and builders.

Types of Curtains & Blinds

Our workshop offers all header tapes for curtains, these include but are not limited to the modern and current favourite wave tape, the classic pinch pleat, fan pinch, eyelets or a simple regis tape.

We offer two types of blinds, each with their own features depending on the functionality and/or look you are looking for.
Roman blinds are made with your choice of fabric, may it be textured, printed or plain. These beautiful fabric blinds can be lined with total blackout, or a polycotton can be used to let some light in. They are available on headrails, or cord operated.

Roller blinds comes in a variety of neutral colours and shades. We have total blackout options, medium dim out options, textured options as well as sunblind’s which will allow for ample light but no glare. These blinds comes standard with a headrail, or can be motorized.

How involved are you?

From building to ceiling plans, to the choice of tracks, fabric, measurements, production and installation – we’re with you every step of the way. We prefer to work with the homeowner, however, we can also work directly with the architect or builder.

Can you quote on architectural plans?

We can quote on architectural plans, for that, there is no fee as you will supply us with the window schedule, as well as which rooms/windows you would like covered. This is just to get a figure going and therefore just an estimate quotation. As soon as the floorboards are in, and the ceilings done, we go and do final measurements on site.

What are your fees?

We charge an upfront fee of R880. This covers your at-home appointment including professional measurement as well as a consultation with regards to fabric choices all of which will be discussed telephonically prior to the home visit to be sure we supply you with suitable sample options. An in-store consultation is free of charge.

We are based in Willowbridge Centre in Bellville in the middle of the strip between Woolworths and Pick ‘n Pay. If you use the footgear entrance, we’ll be the first shop on your left as you pass the escalator.

Is a consultation necessary?
