Curtains in London

Changing Curtains has been the leading custom made curtain shop in London for more than twenty years. With a wide range of designer fabrics available our newly refurbished showroom has re-opened with all new displays of curtains, blinds, fabrics, motorised blinds and furniture. We are open "by appointment only" so please do phone or email to book an appointment with one of our team. As well as our Highgate showroom we have our extensive warehouse and workshop facilities in Waltham Abbey in Essex

Pinch Pleat (Single, Twin or Triple) a perennial favourite
Goblet Pleat - stunning in a formal situation or with Italian Stringing
Gathered or Pencil Pleat - with 3" or 6" tape - tightly gathered to look like a row of pencils, or looser if you prefer

Contemporary Curtain Headings
Euro Pleat (Twin or Triple) - the formality of Pinch Pleat combined with simplicity of Wave
Wave Heading - either with Wave Tape or simply Wave Style under a pole
Eyelets - various colours and sizes to choose from to match your pole
