Ready made curtains

I had to buy curtains super quick. I found a pair in Homebase of all places where they also sold clip in blackout lining and they're great. Really pleased with them.

(Without the clip in blackout lining they'd let in too much light).

The ones I've bought have been fine. Even for bedroom curtains I always go into Dunelm and see them for myself rather than just trust to an online photo.

I paid for some made to measure summer curtains after choosing the fabric in the shop and those too are well made and good quality fabric adequate. My winter curtains, again Dunelm, are a much heavier brocade, and I couldn't get the exact size I needed so I bought longer and took the hem up myself. They are much admired.
