The Smart Homeowner’s Guide to Different Types of Custom Curtains

Here’s a breakdown of the most popular Styles and Curtain Types we offer!

Wave Curtains

Minimal, uniform Folds that glide smoothly across a track. Perfect for a clean, modern look with uninterrupted flow from floor to ceiling.

Classic, gathered folds that create a soft, traditional feel. Easily adjustable and ideal for both modern and classic interiors.

Pinch Pleat Design

Tailored pleats sewn in groups for a formal, elegant look. Offers structured fullness and works well with heavier fabrics.

Curtains with metal rings that slide directly onto a rod. Easy to install and open, with large, bold folds that add a touch of drama.

Best For: Casual spaces, modern bedrooms, or rentals

Customer Reviews & Testimonials

“Wow! Such a pleasure to deal with Anke and her team at Window Boutique. She went to great lengths to repair our older shutter blinds, and also installed new aluminium blinds for us in our holiday home. She was very hands on, and personally kept me informed of progress in the job. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them if you want a well priced and professional supplier. Great service. Thank you and well done.!”
