Made to measure curtains in Retford

Retford's Georgian market town heart gives it some of the loveliest windows in north Nottinghamshire: tall, well proportioned sashes that were made to be dressed generously. Around the squares and along Grove Street the houses ask for classic treatments done properly, while the villages around the town, from Babworth to Clarborough and down the Trent side, bring everything from cottages to barn conversions. Casa by Joanna serves all of it with free home visits and a fully handmade workroom service.

Doing justice to Georgian rooms

Tall windows need weight, fullness and careful pattern matching across long drops. Pinch pleat and goblet headings suit the period beautifully, interlining gives the body these curtains need, and floor length drops finish rooms in a way sill length never can. Where budgets need managing, Joanna will design a scheme that puts the investment where it shows most.

Barn conversions and modern homes

Retford's surrounding villages are full of conversions with dramatic glazing: gable end windows, vaulted spaces and wide sliding doors. Wave heading curtains on discreet tracks, motorised blinds for high level glass, and made to shape blinds for unusual openings all come into their own here, and all are measured and made individually.

The same personal service throughout

One person handles everything: consultation, measuring, making, fitting and final dressing. Quotations are written and free of obligation, and most curtains and blinds are completed within four to six weeks.
