Last Monday saw the Moghul fitting team heading down to the Cotswolds to two lovely period properties in Garford and Alvescot – and as is so typical with such period cottages, some very tricky dormer windows to dress. The Challenge: to the uninitiated, dormers are small windows that project from the roofline. A charming and ...
Some blogs take a bit of careful consideration to put together. Others knock on the door persistently – crying to be released into the blogosphere. Previously it’s been requests from our customers about voile roman blinds that came into this category, but this week it’s the curtaining predicaments raised by juliet balconies that have been ...
OK, so we’ve had a look at window treatments for apartment sitting rooms/ living spaces – but what about the bedroom? Some of the same rules apply.. others don’t. On the one hand the curtains need to be functional (blackout immediately springs to mind) but aesthetic considerations are clearly still key, and as with any ...

With their sleek, minimalist lines sliding panel systems fit a certain contemporary brief, and not everyone knows about them – so here’s a little bit of information for the uninitiated: What is a Panel Glide System? It’s a series of fabric panels that are attached by velcro to a series of tracks that slide along ...
A customer got in contact with us before Christmas. Three years ago they had shutters installed in the sitting room of their West London house. Now shutters are great for privacy, but they aren’t very cosy in the evenings – and this was literally the case here, because our customers sash windows aren’t double glazed. ...
