In many of the grander homes of the UK the size of curtains is beyond the skill of the homeowner to sew for themselves. Also the intricacy of design and styles creates issues. In houses of lesser stature there has been a trend towards blinds, but that trend has been reversed as people have realized that the beauty of the materials for curtains has been ignored, and that keeping blinds clean is a difficult issue.
Drapes
Drapes are those curtains that hang at windows that are either wider than the normal window or have a significant drop. They normally hang in older homes and often will have a material pelmet. The skill in making these is immense as matching the material, ensuring that the drop is perfect and that the heading is correct is an acquired skill. The pelmets are ornate and need immense skills where there is scalloping involved. Professional curtain makers need to be employed on these drapes. There is also a call for these professionals in hotels where curtains are a most important part of the décor as they not only finish the window, but also can give warmth to the room. Curtains come in different weights and will be changed according to the season.
Curtains
Curtains are seen in nearly all houses and apartments, and even if you decide to buy ready made, the size will never be a perfect fit. There are standard widths and drops and they will never match a window perfectly. They may be cheaper to buy than having them made to order but, by the time that you have them altered, a curtain maker may have been a better choice to begin with.
Theatres
Theatres have curtains that drape across the stage and need to be specially made and in almost all cases will need to be fireproofed. These will need professional curtain makers to have an input in the design and making. Also around the boxes the drapes will need to be made professionally.
A good pair of curtains will add to your room so having them professionally made is a good investment.
