Making Interiors Making Interiors is a family run mobile company offering curtains, blinds and shutters. Established 33 years. Mark

I started Making Interiors in 1989 in Hook, Hampshire, originally trading as Makin Tracks. In those early days, I built up my expertise fitting curtains and blinds for interior designers and curtain makers, gaining hands-on experience with high-end products and traditional craftsmanship. Working mainly with interlined curtains, large wood poles from companies like Hunter Hyland, and luxury fabrics from Osborne & Little, Sanderson, and Villa Nova, I established a strong reputation across Fleet, Odiham, Surrey, and Weybridge. In 2001, I took a new direction shifting from working exclusively for the trade to launching Making Interiors as a full retail and trade company. I wanted to take my classic curtain and design background to the next level, offering high-quality curtains and blinds at competitive prices while making the entire process more convenient for clients. That’s when I introduced the Making Interiors mobile showroom fully fitted Volkswagen vans that bring the shop to your doorstep. Instead of browsing limited samples in a store or online, I bring a full range of fabrics and designs directly to you, ensuring a more personal, one-on-one experience. Without the overhead of a physical shop, I can keep costs down while maintaining exceptional quality and service. Our modern, well equipped workrooms allow us to produce bespoke, hand-sewn curtains and custom-made blinds tailored to each window. We’ve also expanded over the years to include commercial work, supplying interiors for hotels, show homes, and other large-scale projects. Our reputation has grown through word-of-mouth recommendations from families and businesses alike. In 2007, we were awarded sole area rights for several high-quality products, a testament to the trust manufacturers place in us. Over the years, we’ve continued to expand our offerings, from commercial fabrics for curtains, blinds, and seating to foam, van and boat lining carpets, and automotive and marine fabrics. Now, with 33 years in the business, Making Interiors remains a family-run company that puts customers first. Unlike large corporations where you're just another sales target, we provide a truly personal service. Whether you're looking for beautifully crafted curtains, bespoke blinds, or commercial interior solutions, I’d love to help. Call me on 077 33 444571 to see how we can bring your interiors to life.

At Making Interiors, we believe quality really does make a difference.

I’m Mark, and I take real pride in the shutters we supply and the quality of the materials we use.

For me, it’s simple. 100% genuine wood shutters. No MDF, no compromises.

And who says shutters have to be white?

We offer a beautiful range of colours and natural wood finishes, so whether you’re looking for something classic, contemporary or a little different, there’s plenty to choose from.

The photos show just how lovely the natural wood finishes are, with the grain and character of the wood really shining through.

I believe in offering something that’s not only beautiful but made to last.

If you’re thinking about shutters for your home, I’d be more than happy to have a chat, answer any questions and help you explore the options.

I have just come away from a Commercial Customer of an assisted living building who has asked for Making Interiors to carry out work for their public areas. I discovered that another larger national company had quoted and not pointed out the LAW and when questioned didn't know.

Please be advised that if you are a commercial building/care home or any building where the public can come in your soft furnishings need to be able to meet the current Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988.

This isn’t a recent change in the law it’s been set in stone for over 29 years.

Please note that anyone will take your money to make you curtains and blinds. It's only when you get inspected that it comes to light and you’re hauled up for it.

Making Interiors has had 3 inspections out of the many contract projects we have carried out over the years. All 3 of those randomly inspected passed with paperwork in order and correct, leaving the building manager on the safe side of the law.

Should you need any advice or contract work carried out please do get in touch and I would be more than happy to help you.

We are seeing more and more major national companies offering shutters in just 4 weeks.

Now this sounds amazing and it is.....if you want "plastic" faux (fake) shutters.

(We are 3 weeks if you want faux wood shutters).

But our BEST and most reliable product is 100% REAL WOOD and it takes 9 weeks.

They are just like quality furniture.....quality does not come fast.

Then see the price for their faux wood, we calculated some offering the price at £400 per square metre for plastic!

We are £279 square metre for REAL WOOD.....

THIS IS NOT OUR WORK

I am genuinely speechless seeing the lack of care and quality. One of the worse I've seen in 33 years of fitting.

Also not one of the shockingly fitted blinds fitted were fitted with the child safety......not 1! 😠

Good Morning.

SHUTTERS

Very popular but do understand what you are buying.

We often see shutters advertised as Plantation Shutters only to avoid saying " WOOD" And they are made of MDF a compressed fibre board.

Mark has been fitting shutters for almost 20 years.

Selecting a quality real wood shutter with an outstanding ZERO warrantee claim in all those years. Yes Zero...

A hardwood pressure treated, then sprayed with a hardener, 6 coats of paint and a clear coat to protect it.

That's a lot of process but the result is an outstanding product.

Fitting... do your shutter doors touch the frame when you close them..?

It may just need some attention, but if your doors touched or needed help closing from installing new. Then they are poorly fitted from the start.

Our aim on EVERY SINGLE INSTALL is to make every single door closes on the magnets without touching the frame in anyway. It's our pet hate if it does and we solve every single one... it simply has to be right.
