Net Curtains Made to Measure: How it Works
Fixed curtain dimensions don't always fit our desired space we want to fill, so these made to measure voile curtains are the perfect solution. Printed with your own photos, a quirky pattern or even original artwork, your room will instantly be elevated and brought to life.
Step 1: Measure
Accurately measure the area where you want the curtains to cover to determine whether you need a pair or just one (or multiples). This measurement alone is not enough, as otherwise your voile curtains will be flat when pulled to. It's essential to account for pleats/ruffles/fullness. To achieve this look we suggest 2x the area you're trying to fill. For example, if your window is 1m wide, you need approx 2m of fabric. If you want a flat net curtain showing your image at its best, we advise fullness of 1.1. If you want the classic look (lots of folds, creating more privacy/opacity) then please be aware that a fullness of 2 will break up text and imagery.
Please note: To avoid disappointment, we always suggest an additional 0.4 inches (1cm) of fabric all around to account for hemming and possible fabric shrinkage. Add this onto your calculation.
Step 2: Choose your Hanging Style
We offer the choice of wire hanging or 3.1 inches (8cm) pencil heading tape. The wire hanging pocket is 0.31- 0.39in (8-10mm) when flat, which will fit a standard 0.15in (4mm) curtain wire. Our strong tape heading option means you can use your existing runners and easily hook the new voile net curtains to the rail. If you're replacing curtains, it might be easier to replicate those dimensions.
Step 3: Upload your Photos
You're now ready to design. Simply upload and add your image within the design system. Here you'll be able to edit it, rearrange it etc so it's exactly how you envision.
NB: For widths over 59", we may need to stitch several panels together. In this case, we'll contact you via email to ask for your confirmation before proceeding. Whenever we do this, we try our best to make sure the seam doesn't interrupt your design.
How we Make Net Curtains Made to Measure
We print your design onto panels of voile fabric and our artisan seamstresses hem the edges and sew your curtains together. If you select a pair of curtains, this will be one large panel split in half so that your design matches when pulled together. Everything about your voile net curtains is bespoke.
Printing Tips for Voile Curtains
If printed with blocks of solid color, these curtains are transparent, making them ideal for attaching to beams and using as room dividers. For more privacy and a semi-transparent set of curtains, choose detailed, bold prints. The colors are naturally muted due to the sheer mesh quality, but details are crisp, clear and defined. The front colors are more saturated than the reverse, where you'll notice they're slightly faded.
Design Inspiration for Net Curtains
Stylishly placed in a conservatory, a pair of voile net curtains would provide the perfect shade during summer, whilst still letting light through. Print a gorgeous photo from your holiday so you can be transported to paradise everyday. With a window slightly ajar, the flowing drape will move elegantly with the breeze.
To add another dimension to your open plan space, use these sheer curtains to separate living areas. Hung in doorways, these sheer curtains give you the best of both worlds for when you want to maximize your living area or create a little privacy. Simply tie them back or let them hang down. Print with a design to complement your home decor, or be bold with a photo collage of the family to add a touch of personality to your home.
