Ready made curtains - help!

A lot of people have success with Dunelm? You can see them online which would save a trip if there was nothing suitable? You can always improve unlined by buying linings which you put in with the curtain hooks. Cheaper than JL and M&S. Good Luck!

How about Ikea?

Forgot to mention Terrysfabrics.co.uk ?

Oh yes.
They have a huge selection, and are very reasonable.

Can you not return the unsuitable curtains for a refund?

I would also recommend Dunelm. Their fabric is of a very high quality and reasonable, compared to John Lewis and Laura Ashley. They have ready made curtains and can also make them to your requirements. Alternatively, a fabric shop maybe somewhere local to you. I suggest you either return your original curtains or sell them.

I don't think you can get a refund once you have gathered them, unfortunately.
Will they fit somewhere else kittylester?
Yes, Dunelm is fine for reasonably priced curtains.

Next have some really nice curtains and there's a sale the end of this month.

Thank you for your replies.

Yes, jalim, they will fit in one of the bedrooms if we get them altered but I really like the ones there already!

I went to our Dunelm yesterday but they all seem to be eyelet heading - which isn't what we want. I'll go to the bigger one next week.

Ikea don't have the colour we want. Hey ho.

Do you have The Range shop near you? They seem to have a good selection whenever we go to our nearest one.
B&M or Home Bargains for cheapie ones?

Good Morning Kitty, we too have just recently returned our study into a bedroom for our DGS's. I have never in my life bought ready made curtains but had a good look online and got a pair from Amazon. I am very pleased with them. The manufacturer is 'Fusion' and I thought Amazon had the best price. I had to get the hem taken up but I am very pleased with the overall appearance of them and match the new duvet set I got too. Good luck

Oops sorry! - hope this isn't deemed as advertising

Dunelm seem to only ever have the eye!Dr your in stock, but once you know the fabric you want, you can order the ones with tape online.

We did that, but I now wish I'd gone with the eyelet after all!

What? "eyelet type in stock"

Didn't know that phoenix. We saw some eyelet ones that we liked!

Sorry, thank you!!

Have a look on the wesite, bet you find the same ones on there, but with the tape option.

Delivery is fairly prompt too.

Have had several sets from Dunelm and have been really pleased with them

Thank you all.

We ordered some from Dunelm this morning!!

Hooray! Were they the ones that you liked in store, but thought they only did in eyelet?

Yes, phoenix, they were - thank you so much. I have no idea why we didn't ask when we first saw them and they cost approximately 25% of the first ones.

I think we'll hide the first ones on an 'out of sight, out of mind' strategy!

We could try selling them but we had also had them shortened!

When I had my second hand clothing stall at Leicester market I used to buy off the ' material man ' a few stalls up from mine.

He started Dunelm and now is worth a fortune, unlike moi!

Can you remember the Dunelm shop down from the Clock Tower. I loved it , always a bun fight, you would find a duvet cover then run round like a headless chicken trying to find matching pillowcases .

Try selling them on Gumtree Kitty, say they are new but have been shortened, you might have done someone a favour. A lot of people look on Gumtree to buy items for properties they are letting etc. Worth a try.
