A little sneak peak to a recent fitting. 😍 Originally these curtains were going to have a raspberry red trim down the leading edges only, but seemingly wanting to make things more complicated I suggested we add it along the very top too! So pleased with the results! 🤩 Photos in situ to follow!

Couldn't be happier with how this huge window seat has turned out. Over 2m wide by 1m depth, and lots of corners to contend with!
Window box seats are a firm favourite of mine, very satisfying to make and to see them in place. 🤩
The delicate print fabric from behaved beautifully!

Last one of the Apex..possibly. Here's one to show the scale of the window, using myself as the scale, and I'm by no means short!
With such an expanse of window, this room becomes very warm with the sun, these sheers will not only help to keep the room at a comfortable temperature through the summer months but also help with the acoustics of the room.
My lovely client wanted a flowy finish to the curtains, so we decided on the pooling length which adds to the relaxed look. 😍

This Apex has been in the pipeline for a while, alot of planning has gone into the installation and fit of these gorgeous flowy sheer curtains and I'm so pleased with the finished result. 😍
The biggest challenge was working out how we were going to have the curtains held back, at nearly 4.5m at its highest point and nearly 3m at its lowest point, this window is huge, and holding the curtains back was always going to be tricky.
We finalised on these super smart holdbacks from which have worked wonderfully. A small step is needed to reach these, but totally worth the beautiful finish and to allow for maximum window exposure.
All this couldn't have been done without who has made the fitting of these possible and has been a huge help in the process. Thank you!

A sneak peak pic here. Lots of thinking and preparation has gone into this window. The curtains are now up, we're just working on finding the perfect hold backs. It's not often I share a pic of a window without any curtains or blinds, but this one's a beauty and it shows it as a blank canvas. Scaffolding at the ready!

Lighting wasn't on my side for taking pics, but I'm super happy with the finished look of this window.
Design by who have put together this lovely sophisticated scheme, I particularly loved working with the heavy embroidered fabric by which has pleated up beautifully, even though snapping a few needles in the process!

Lots of curtains at the moment. Interlined and pleated are always my favourite and that's what we have here. 😍 love how the interlining gives them that extra squish and luxurious feel.
