Do you know the problem? Your curtains are either too short, too long or simply don't match the rest of your decor, but you just can't find a better off-the-peg solution. This is often because windows are very rarely a standard size, as pre-made curtains are mass produced. In a new build, you may be lucky and your windows will have these standard commercial sizes. However, many windows do not fit these standardized curtain sizes.
This is where made-to-measure curtains come into play, allowing for a perfect fit and individual design.
