MEET THE EXPERTS
LEAH ASPINALL, HEAD OF CREATIVE AT BLINDS 2GO 'Blinds and curtains are such a great way to express your personality in your home'
MARIE NICHOLS, INTERIOR STYLIST 'Think beyond the classic pencil pleat heading there are many options that give very different effects, like wave or eyelet headings'
ANDREW HENRY, DIRECTOR, ANDREW HENRY INTERIORS AND THREAD AND DANDY ‘The most common mistake is having poorly fitting window treatments. Always check your measurements, and then check again'
What's going on at your windows can make or break a scheme - all too often we play it safe and replace like with like, without assessing if it's the best solution. From shutters to voiles, dramatic drapes to oh so practical blinds, there's never been such variety; problem windows can indeed look stylish. Finding your way through the options can be overwhelming, so we asked an interior designer, an interiors stylist and a curtains and blinds expert to help.
PERFECT PELMET Once seen as a fussy finishing touch, a pelmet to match curtains can make low ceilings appear higher. For similar fabric, try Linara Bilberry, £42m, Romo
