Made-to-Measure Curtains in Witney: Styling Stone Cottages & Modern Homes
Bespoke Curtains for Witney Homes: We Bring the Showroom to You
Witney is a town with a rich history of textiles. As the home of the famous Witney Blanket, the residents here know the value of high-quality fabric and craftsmanship.
At Oxford Curtains and Alterations, we are proud to continue that tradition by serving homeowners across Witney (OX28) and West Oxfordshire. Whether you have just bought a period property on West End or a new build in Windrush Place, we bring our expert advice—and our fabric samples—directly to your door.
Curtains for Cotswold Stone Cottages
Witney is renowned for its beautiful architecture, but anyone who lives in a stone property knows the challenge: keeping the heat in.
Stone cottages, while stunning, can be draughty in the winter and difficult to insulate. Off-the-shelf curtains simply aren’t thick enough to cope with single-glazed sash windows or uneven stone surrounds.
For our Witney clients, we often recommend:
-
Thermal & Heavy Interlining: This is the secret to a warm cottage. We add a thick, fleece-like layer between the face fabric and the lining. This creates luxurious, full-bodied curtains that act as insulation, trapping warmth inside your room.
-
Traditional Headings: A Pencil Pleat or Double Pinch Pleat suits the character of older Witney homes perfectly. They offer a classic, timeless look that respects the age of the building.
-
Portière (Door) Curtains: Many terraced cottages in Witney open directly onto the street. A heavy velvet or wool curtain over the front door is an elegant way to stop draughts from sweeping through your living room.
Modern Solutions for New Developments
Witney isn’t just about history; it’s a growing town. If you have moved into a modern home in Madley Park or Windrush Place, your windows likely have different needs.
Modern homes often feature wider windows, bi-fold doors, and radiators positioned under the sill.
-
Roman Blinds: Perfect for maximising space. If you have a radiator under your window, a Roman Blind allows you to dress the window beautifully without blocking the heat source.
-
Wave Curtains: For large bi-fold doors looking out onto the garden, Wave curtains are the ultimate modern choice. They stack back very neatly, ensuring you get the maximum amount of light during the day.
