Printed curtain panels cut for the room
Our custom curtains are made to order from printed fabric, sized to suit your window, door opening or feature wall. You can order single panels, pairs, or wider drops for sliding doors and full length openings. We print for homes in Cape Town, guest spaces in Stellenbosch, holiday places along the Garden Route and project work nationwide. If you need a clean finish for a lounge or a softer look for a bedroom, we can guide the fabric choice and print layout.
These curtains are used where the room needs pattern, colour, privacy and a proper finish. They suit flats, family homes, boutique stays, show units and home offices. Because the fabric is made to order, you can match the curtain to scatter cushions, headboards, upholstery or wall tones. That helps when you are working with a specific paint shade or a room with strong sunlight in the afternoon.
Sizes, drops and hanging options
We work from your measurements, so the most important figures are the window width, the drop from rail or pole to the floor, and the fullness you want. Most curtain work is supplied as printed fabric panels that can be hemmed and finished for eyelets, tape or a plain top edge, depending on the hanging method. If you already have a track or rod in place, send us the measurements from the fittings not only the wall opening.
- Standard widths can be planned for small windows, patio doors or full wall spans.
- Typical drops include sill length, floor length and puddle length if you want extra fabric.
- We can print in repeat pattern or full image layout, depending on the design.
- Heavier room-darkening needs may call for a lined or double layer approach.
For big openings such as stacking doors, we will usually suggest more than one panel so the curtains draw neatly. In windy coastal spots like Blouberg or Muizenberg, the right fullness and weight matter so the curtain does not flap around too much.
Where custom curtains work best
Printed curtain fabric is a practical choice for rooms that need a personal finish without buying off the shelf and hoping it fits. It works well in main bedrooms, kids rooms, guest suites, apartments, holiday lets and private offices. For short term rental properties, the right curtain fabric can make a plain room feel finished without needing a full renovation.
- Homes needing a made-to-measure window treatment.
- Guest rooms and hospitality spaces that need repeated styling.
- Interior designers working on coordinated soft furnishings.
- Property owners who want a washable, easy to replace curtain solution.
In Cape Town, many customers also ask for curtain fabric that handles bright light and sea air. Near the coast, humidity and salt can shorten the life of fittings and finishes, so it helps to plan the fabric weight and hanging hardware properly from the start.
What to send when you order
To quote accurately, we need the finished size, the hanging method and the room details. It also helps to know whether the curtain is for full privacy, light filtering or decoration only. If you are matching a room scheme, send a photo in daylight and the main colour you want the fabric to sit with. If you have a design file, we check it before print so the scale, repeat and colour breaks make sense.
- Window or opening width in millimetres.
- Drop from rail or pole to the point where you want the curtain to end.
- Preferred hanging style such as eyelets, tape or plain finished edge.
- Any lining, hemming or edge finishing needed.
- Delivery town and contact number for courier.
We also check if the print needs to be centred on the panel or repeated evenly across both sides. That matters for stripes, borders and large motifs where a small shift can look off once hung.
Installation, power use and room conditions
Custom curtains themselves do not need power or gas to install, but the room conditions should still be considered before ordering. If the curtain is going into a room with automated blinds, HVAC units, wall sockets near the opening or a heater, keep the clearance in mind. In load-shedding households, a heavier curtain can help with privacy when lights are off and can reduce glare during the day when the room is closed up.
For rental properties or guest rooms, it is worth choosing a hanging method that is easy to service and replace. If the pole or track is already fixed, make sure it is strong enough for the final curtain weight. A wide pair of lined panels will need better support than a light decorative panel. If you are not sure, send the fitting size and we can advise on practical lengths and likely weight.
Care, cleaning and servicing
Printed curtain fabric should be cared for according to the fibre and finish used. In most homes, a gentle clean and regular dusting helps keep the colours looking fresh. Coastal homes may need a little more attention because salt air and open windows can leave fine residue on the fabric over time. For high traffic spaces like guest rooms or managed properties, it is smart to plan for curtains that can be removed, cleaned and rehung without fuss.
- Vacuum lightly with a brush attachment to remove dust.
- Spot clean small marks as soon as they happen.
- Use cool iron settings only if suitable for the fabric.
- Avoid harsh bleach or strong chemical cleaners.
- Check hems, tape and hooks after cleaning or moving the curtain.
If the curtain is used in a home near the sea or in a room that gets strong sun, rotation and occasional servicing can extend the life of the print. We can also help with batch replacement for properties that need the same look across several units, which keeps maintenance simpler.
