Henley-on-Thames is renowned for its historic charm, riverside beauty, and stunning architecture. From Georgian townhouses near the market square to modern apartments overlooking the Thames, every home in Henley deserves an interior that matches its exterior character.

However, finding a reliable, experienced curtain maker who can deliver truly bespoke results can sometimes be a challenge without looking towards London.

At Oxford Curtains & Alterations, we are proud to extend our expert services to homeowners in Henley-on-Thames. Whether you are refurbishing a period property or adding the finishing touches to a new build, we bring over 15 years of craftsmanship directly to your door.

Why Choose Oxford Curtains for Your Henley Home?

While we are based in Oxford, a significant number of our clients are in Henley and the surrounding South Oxfordshire countryside. Here is why Henley residents choose us:

1. We Bring the Showroom to You

We understand that your time is valuable. Instead of you having to travel to us, we offer a free home measurement and consultation service in Henley. We can bring fabric samples to your home, allowing you to see how different textures and colours look in your specific lighting and against your existing furniture.

2. Made-to-Measure & “Made-to-Matter”

Ready-made curtains often struggle to fit the unique window shapes found in Henley’s historic cottages or the expansive glazing of riverside homes. Our curtains are strictly made-to-measure.

• Bay Windows: We are experts in crafting curved tracks and poles for bay windows.

• Wave & Pinch Pleat: From modern wave headings to traditional hand-sewn pinch pleats, we tailor the style to the era of your home.

3. Supply Your Own Fabric

Have you found the perfect designer fabric at a boutique in Henley or London but need someone to turn it into curtains? Unlike many other companies, we are happy to work with your own fabric. We simply charge for the making and lining, ensuring you get exactly the look you want without compromise.

Invest in Longevity and Comfort

While it can be tempting to hold onto existing curtains, a new home often deserves a fresh start. Commissioning new made-to-measure curtains allows you to achieve a level of finish and functionality that older or altered curtains simply cannot match.

Particularly for properties near the river, where damp and chill can be factors, modern window treatments are an investment in the comfort of your home.

• Superior Insulation: We can incorporate heavy thermal interlining into your new curtains. This acts as a “duvet” for your windows, significantly reducing heat loss in a way that older, thinner curtains cannot.

• Uncompromised Design: Starting from scratch means you don’t have to design your room around an existing pattern. You have complete creative freedom to select fabrics that match your new paint and furniture perfectly.

• Structural Integrity: New curtains come with fresh buckram in the headings and crisp new linings, ensuring crisp pleats and a structured drape that will hold its shape for decades.

Blinds for Every Window

Sometimes, a curtain isn’t the right fit. Our bespoke service includes made-to-measure blinds perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or home offices.

• Roman Blinds: Soft, elegant, and perfect for adding warmth.

• Venetian & Roller Blinds: Practical solutions for privacy and light control.
