Tying your paint, wallpaper and curtains together with some soft furnishing extras can make any room look like it was designed by an expert.

Using alternate designs is a lovely way to add interest without adding confusion. Your Professional Drape retailer can offer expert advice on a vast array of additional touches for your home. They can re-upholster large items like couches and chairs to smaller pieces like ottomans and lamps.

For a completely cohesive look try custom upholstering your bedhead, or matching fabrics in occasional furniture.

THE LOW-DOWN ON LININGS The technology in linings has significantly changed of late, offering even more benefits to you and your home furnishings.

Noise control can also be obtained from a good lining. In much the same way linings insulate a window, they also keep some control on the noise outside.

New technology in linings means that you can now get mould and mildew resistant linings to protect your curtains.

It is also great for a kids room, especially in daylight saving where the light is bright well after bedtime.

Most heating and cooling energy is wasted from transference through windows, it is estimated that this can be as much as 42-45%.

A correctly fitted curtain is the key component and custom making your curtains allows you to maximise the efficiency of the curtains by: 1. Choosing the correct lining for maximum insulation 2.

CUSTOM MADE Nothing beats a custom made curtain. The benefits go well beyond the aesthetic value.

The result should make you feel good every time you see it and, much like artwork, it should enhance the uniqueness of your home.

16 THE LOW-DOWN ON LININGS The technology in linings has significantly changed of late, offering even more benefits to you and your home furnishings. Depending on the lining you choose, it can offer UV protection for your carpets and furniture. Sun damage in New Zealand is harsh so protection from the elements is an added benefit. Noise control can also be obtained from a good lining. In much the same way linings insulate a window, they also keep some control on the noise outside. Mould and mildew can be a problem in some rooms and often the linings are the first affected as they are closest to the moisture and the window. New technology in linings means that you can now get mould and mildew resistant linings to protect your curtains. Blackout lining is heavier and will be more insulating, good for use in a roman blind, where the fabric does not go to the ground. It is also great for a kids room, especially in daylight saving where the light is bright well after bedtime. Energy efficiency and insulation is one of the most obvious and useful benefits a well fitted curtain and good lining can provide any home. Most heating and cooling energy is wasted from transference through windows, it is estimated that this can be as much as 42-45%. Custom made curtains provide true energy savings and in some cases may actually be a better option than double glazing your windows. A correctly fitted curtain is the key component and custom making your curtains allows you to maximise the efficiency of the curtains by: 1. Choosing the correct lining for maximum insulation 2. Fitting as close to the window frame as possible 3. Correctly measuring so curtains touch the floor, and measuring width so they overlap the window frames to trap the air. CUSTOM MADE Nothing beats a custom made curtain. The benefits go well beyond the aesthetic value. As Professional Drape Group members specialise in custom making we endeavour to create something that is personal to you and your taste. The result should make you feel good every time you see it and, much like artwork, it should enhance the uniqueness of your home. When choosing custom made curtains, it is truly an investment in your home s beauty and comfort. They last longer and provide better insulation and therefore reduce energy consumption. You reduce the risk of costly mistakes because custom making provides guarantees from the first free in-home consultation right through to installation. HEADING STYLES SINGLE PLEAT TWIN PLEAT INVERTED PLEAT Fairground Collection FRENCH PLEAT WAVE PLEAT PENCIL PLEAT Rods and tracks are another choice you can make with the help of your Professional Drape retailer.
