Curtains in London

Changing Curtains has been the leading custom made curtain shop in London for more than twenty years. With a wide range of designer fabrics available our newly refurbished showroom has re-opened with all new displays of curtains, blinds, fabrics, motorised blinds and furniture. We are open "by appointment only" so please do phone or email to book an appointment with one of our team. As well as our Highgate showroom we have our extensive warehouse and workshop facilities in Waltham Abbey in Essex
We take pride in being bespoke curtain makers and with our extensive fitting team (we think they are the best specialist curtain fitting team in London) we can supply and install curtains in Central London, North London and East London, extending into Essex and Herts (as far as the M25). For more extensive projects we can go further - please do ask us
Since we have become part of Inspiring Your Home (see info page if you want the full story) there have been exciting new developments. With our superb team we can now offer a complete project management, curtain making and pole and track installation service to Interior Designers for Country House and Hotel projects, if you have a project coming up in London or the Home Counties please do contact us to discuss further

Many examples of our work further down this page or on our gallery page

Changing Curtains are makers of all types of curtains - made to measure - from a single pair, to a whole house (however large your house might be)
