There are so many advantages of lined curtains over their unlined counterparts. Firstly, the lining contains insulating qualities which can regulate a room’s temperature in summer and winter, so your room will always be at a comfortable temperature. Your furniture will be protected against fading during long sunny nights as the lining material lets less light in, which can damage the aesthetics of your furniture. If you are a light sleeper or you sleep through the day, blackout lining is great to attach to curtains because it makes a room completely dark. However, if we decide to install lined curtains around our home, will we get a better deal out of buying them or making them?

First, let us consider the materials and equipment required if we were to make our own lined curtains. You need the lining for the curtains and the material that will be the front panel, and you will need enough so that pleats can be made when the curtains are closed, so about one and a half times the width of the window. As well as material, you will need matching thread and heading tape, so that you have something to attach the hooks to.   But without a sewing machine, you will have to spend days making the curtains by hand. And when estimating the cost of how much making lined curtains will cost you, remember to add your man hours, because it is time that you could be spending with the children or loved ones, out shopping with friends or generally relaxing.

When you look at it like this, buying readymade lined curtains may very well turn out cheaper, better quality and more stylish than any lined curtains you could make yourself. Readymade lined curtains come in a host of colours, patterns and sizes and are made to the highest quality, available at high street stores and online shops. Don’t worry about getting ready made curtains to fit your windows as they come in a variety of sizes to cater for the widest and highest windows. Buying your curtains online means that delivery is easy and you have so many designs to choose from.
