Made to measure curtains in Nottingham

Nottingham's housing stock is wonderfully varied, and its windows are too. The tall sashes of The Park Estate and Mapperley Park, the generous bays of West Bridgford's Edwardian avenues, Wollaton's between the wars semis, and the floor to ceiling glazing of the city's newer riverside apartments each ask something different of a curtain maker. Ready made simply cannot answer all of them. Made to measure can.

Casa by Joanna measures, makes and fits across the whole city and its suburbs, from Sherwood and Carrington down through Beeston, Chilwell and Ruddington. Joanna comes to you with fabric books, measures every window personally, and each pair of curtains or roman blind is then sewn by hand in her Nottinghamshire workroom before she returns to fit and dress it herself.

Period homes, treated properly

Much of Nottingham's most loved housing is Victorian and Edwardian, which means high ceilings, deep bay windows and, very often, draughts. Interlined curtains on a properly bent bay track transform these rooms twice over: visually, with a fullness and drop that suits the proportions, and practically, holding warmth through the winter in a way a thin ready made panel never will.

Modern city living

For apartments and newer builds around the city and the Waterside, the brief is usually cleaner: wave heading curtains gliding across wide glazing, discreet roller or roman blinds, and increasingly motorisation for tall or hard to reach windows. Joanna designs across all of it, so the answer fits the architecture rather than fighting it.

How it works in Nottingham

Home visits run across Nottingham daytimes and early evenings. The consultation and written quotation are free with no obligation, fitting is done personally, and most curtains and blinds are completed within four to six weeks.
