Ten Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Curtains
Choosing curtains only by colour and price can overlook measurement, light control and everyday use. Review the complete window treatment before ordering.
1–3: Measure the opening, compare the scope and choose layers together
Do not measure only the glass, compare only the lowest price or select sheers and dress curtains independently. Compare the full installation and the way the layers work together.
4–7: Plan light, motors, tracks and fullness
Consider both daylight and evening privacy. Plan motor requirements early, check tracks and accessories, and allow for pleats and the space occupied by open curtains.
8–10: Check care, samples and delivery details
Ask about care before buying. Review real samples rather than relying only on photographs, and confirm production and delivery details before ordering.
