Welcome to Laura Alice Curtain Making and Soft Furnishings!
Soft Furnishings can include cushions, valances, pelmets, pillows, bench seats, dining room seats, tablecloths, placemats, baby playmats or perhaps even a bed for a pet. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch on our contact page to discuss your requirements.
We create made to measure curtains and blinds, which can range from thermal lined, to blackout lined, or both. We make with a range of handmade curtain heading types including pencil pleat, as well as double and triple pinch pleat, goblet headed or cartridge pleats. We also offer handmade swags and tails. We will discuss all of your requirements at an initial consultation, as well as measuring up and talking about what fabric styles you are looking for.
Step 1: Laura can come to visit your property where the window is for your initial consultation. At this stage, your window measurements will be taken, as well as a discussion to learn your requirements in detail, discussing how best to dress the window, and what specifications and requirements you have for the final product. Fabric and colour ideas will also be discussed here. After this consultation, you will be given a quote for the work via email following your meeting. If you would like to proceed, a 40% deposit will be required before work commences.
Step 2: After the initial consultation, Laura will draw you a final design of the curtain or window treatment that has been discussed and source your fabric samples for you to browse and decide from. All design specification will be finalized and agreed here and fabric chosen. Once the fabric is decided, Laura will be able to tell you fabric quantities required subject to your design, the amount of fullness you are looking for, and subject to any pattern repeats within the fabric.
Step 3: The fabric is ordered and invoiced to you. Fabric and material costs are to be paid in full before production will commence.
Step 4: The curtains, blinds or window treatments are made.
Step 5: Laura will deliver the product to your property, and check the drape and hang is correct. If everything is okay, you will have your product delivered from this day. Sometimes amendments need to be made, subject to length, if perhaps someone has changed the height of the pole for example, and it is easier to change the curtain drop than the pole height. Changes will be made and then redelivered. If these changes have been incurred by external issues not from Laura Alice Curtain making, then there may be an additional fee. Product remaining balance is paid in full.
