Ready and Custom Made Curtains NZ

Easily enhance a motel, hotel, or your home, with ready made curtains, when decorating, or renovating, with affordability and convenience, from a huge and varied selection available online in NZ. Perhaps achieve a designer or fashionable appearance with curtains, it's accessories, and immediate surroundings such as furniture, blinds, colour, lighting, and general decor. Curtain style, colour, fabric choice, length, are all important to produce a appealing, functional, and practical environment. By carefully combining, fabric choice, texture, colour, trims, within a curtain's make up can produce an appealing and professional overall appearance.

Some specific curtain or drape features to consider would be -

Curtain Design Type

* Shower curtain - whether if decorative, colour, single, double, or plastic
* Thermal lined curtains - insulation properties to retain heat, and to block out sufficient sunlight
* Pleated - e.g. French or Pencil pleat (can extend or gather or non extend)
* Grommet or Eyelet top curtains - to easily slide along the rod.
* Casement or panel curtains - often set semi permanently with tie back
* Net, Sheer, Sun filter type curtains - commonly used to filter out light, are often cream or white, and can be used alone or with main curtains. net curtains can include patterns (embroidery), and different shades of white, and thickness, e.g. coarse or fine.
* Hour glass styled curtains - used on french doors, to allow easy reach to open, but also allowing sunlight to transmit
* Kitchen and cafe styles - The familiar two piece or split curtains or nets used in kitchens and cafe's to allow viewing from inside.
* Decorative Curtains - Styled "drops" or swags, tails, rosettes, scarf drapery, and more(often seen in lavish stage performances). But I have seen in hotel conference ball room and large function centers.
* Specialty Curtains - e.g. Sash, Under, Tie back, Tiered, Portieres, etc. Used as separate function to the main curtain when combined.

Curtain Accessories

These add function, form, and even design decoration to curtains. Accessories include -

* Trims - Often quality, intricate decorative bands, and include cords, laces, and ribbons.
* Tie backs - Used to simply tie back curtains, and can be quite decorative, e,g. large pattern twisted cords, beads, or twine.
* Hold Backs - Generally fixed rigid handle/arm to retain the curtains, similar function to tie backs.
* Tracks, Rods, and Finials - Metal painted/powder coated or plastic to hold up curtains, and can be decorative with patterned finials attached to the track ends. Finial shapes include curled shapes, hook shape, arrow, colonial style, and much more for aesthetics looks.
* Valance - Familiar short curtain along the top, often to conceal the track/rod. Valances can also be attractive in terms of design and pattern (e.g. pleated, gathered, braid, or ribbon) and can include the French pleated valance or Balloon style valance often seen in large hotels.
* Pelmets - Rigid "head" panel piece to cover along the top of curtains, and also the top window frame. Can also prevent "top" light from transmitting, and the pelmet can be blended or incorporated in design as a decorative addition around the ceiling - and curtains - and total interior design.
