Why Choose Made-To-Measure Velvet Curtains In Brisbane
Made-to-measure velvet curtains are the ultimate window treatment for those seeking luxury. As velvet is often synonymous with royalty, custom velvet curtains could be the spectacular feature your house is missing.
Velvet drapes can also be used to transport your space into different worlds. Depending on the colour, style, and pattern you choose, you could help your room feel more retro, old world, or modern - whatever your preference.
These curtains also provide complete privacy. The thick and heavy velvet curtains enable you to completely block out light and the outside world at will, providing you with shade whenever you need it.
With velvet curtains, you also have the choice of pleated curtains or a double pinch pleat to emphasise their elegance and traditional style even more.
To make your windows a work of art, velvet curtains are the best option for your home.

She assisted me in colour and texture choices and I honestly couldn’t have chosen by myself as her experience within the industry absolutely shows. Everything now within the homes has been tied together with Nicolas assistance. My blinds are perfect and I would not hesitate to recommend her and Cardell to anyone.”

Bespoke Luxury Velvet Curtains - FAQs
What is velvet and how is it manufactured?
Velvet is a type of woven fabric that has a soft and smooth surface with a distinctive sheen. Velvet is made by weaving two sheets of material of different thicknesses on top of each other, and then separating them to give velvet its sheared appearance. The material is woven on a special loom that weaves two thicknesses of the material at the same time. Velvet can be made from several different kinds of fibres, traditionally, the most expensive of which is silk. The pile of fabric is made by interlacing a secondary yarn through woven cloth, creating a tufted layer on the surface.
There are many different types of velvet, depending on the fibre, weave, finish, and pattern of the fabric. Some of the common types of velvet are:
Silk velvet curtains: Silk is of the most luxurious and expensive styles of velvet, made from pure silk fibres. It has a soft and lustrous surface and drapes well.
Cotton velvet curtains: These are durable and available at an affordable price. It has a matte and crisp surface and holds its shape well.
Rayon velvet curtains: Rayon is a type of cellulose fibre that can be used to make velvet. It has a similar appearance and feel to silk, but is cheaper and more prone to crushing.
Polyester velvet curtains: Another synthetic fabric, polyester velvet curtains have a shiny surface and are resistant to wrinkles and stains.
Crushed velvet curtains: Crushed velvet curtains have an irregular and textured surface, created by twisting or pressing the fabric while wet. They typically evoke a more vintage and bohemian look.
