Choosing from a small sample alone

Fabric can look different across a full window and as light changes. View colours in the room, beside the walls, flooring and furniture whenever possible.

Focusing only on appearance

A beautiful finish still needs to manage privacy, glare, heat and daily use. Write down the practical job for each window before comparing styles.

Missing the small details

Handles, window winders, doors, skirting and furniture can affect operation. Professional measuring helps identify obstacles before the product is made.

Treating every room the same

Bedrooms, living rooms and wet areas have different needs. One consistent colour can still be used across several product types to keep the home connected.

Measure twice, choose once

A little planning prevents most window-furnishing problems. Consider the whole room, test materials in its actual light and confirm the fitting details before production begins.
