F&P had the pleasure of working with Vivienne Cutler, an interior stylist based in West Sussex. Our skilled design expert, Rose, worked closely with Vivienne to provide sheer curtains for the bifold doors in her living room. These full-length curtains add a softness to the space without compromising its polished, modern look. They offer shade during the summer months and create a cozy atmosphere in the winter. As the finishing touch to this open-plan living area, we love the completed look of this modern country home.
"I cannot recommend F&P enough! The work that they put in to get these curtains absolutely perfect was second to none and every single detail was considered from the beautiful cartridge headers, to achieving the perfect fold and drape.
Such a professional service with a quick turnaround. They offer everything from curtain making, to fabrics and reupholstery. I’ll be using them for a few more projects in the future"
Vivienne, West Sussex
The wide width curtain fabric in the living room is Bordean in Oyster by Titley & Marr, suggested by Rose. These are an excellent choice for sheers as the linen mix filters the light through the windows, rather than blocking it out, whilst still providing a level of seclusion. The entire length of each curtain has also been weighted with a chain rather than discs to stop them blowing out of the doors when open. A practical yet elegant addition to the room, contrasted by a dark taupe paint on the walls.
Completing the seating area are two square footstools which have been re-upholstered in Ian Mankin's Ticking Stripe 02. The subtle sage green stripe adds character to the room and we love how these have turned out.
Moving into the kitchen, we have also fitted some elegant relaxed roman blinds which adds a cosy and homey feel to the bright window space. This fabric is Sava Linen by Linwood in Rocksalt.
Many people purchase curtain and blind fabric with the intention of blocking out the light, however sheers and voiles can be a beautiful alternative, when a more decorative, lightweight window dressing is desired.
Transforming your ideas into beautiful realities, they all share a passion for creating high-quality, long lasting pieces. Read on to find out about the individual talents of our makers and what they love most about their crafts.
