Window coverings
Pull yourself together!
When it comes to redecorating any room, an excellent place to start could be by concentrating on the window treatments and the mood you wish to achieve, be it light and airy, warm and cosy, cutting edge and contemporary.
But just as windows come in all shapes and sizes, window covering options are many and varied, and can be quite overwhelming. How about curtains? Panels, pleated, tab top, swag (with or without a jabot?!) blackouts. Or maybe blinds – roller, Venetian, Roman, horizontal or vertical, slatted? Then there’s always plantation shutters!
Apart from being aesthetically appealing, whatever window covering you go for will also have to provide an element of privacy, climate control and security.
There’s much to take into consideration, but a visit to Fabrics, the soft furnishing shop in Viva Mall on Peace Road, will provide the perfect solution, whatever your requirements. Fabrics can help you every step of the way - from measuring up your windows, helping you choose the fabric, making the window coverings and hanging them for you. Call 0693665714

Be unique and recycle
If you want something more unique than a curtain rod to hang your casual window coverings, try making your own hooks from:
Cutlery
Use pliers to bend spoons or forks into the shape of an S-hook! Great for kitchen curtains.
Glass or brass door knobs
Fix door knobs above the window and tie curtains to the knobs with fabric ties. Use mismatched knobs for a more quirky look.
