Ready-made curtains - our pick of the best
Ready-made curtains are a cheap design solution when it comes to window dressings. Check out our selection of the best ready-made curtains online
Ready-made curtains are the perfect way to dress your windows. Whether it's a matter of creating privacy or making a feature of your windows, off-the-peg curtain designs are often a cheaper option than buying curtain fabric and having window dressings made for you. There are a multitude of curtain designs out there; from pencil-pleat or eyelet curtains to voiles, sheer drapes or blackout material, from regular window dressings to curtains designed for doors (to keep chilly draughts at bay). Not only are pre-made curtains cost-effective, they are also super easy to hang. So, whether you favour pencil pleat or tab top, we've found lots of great ready-made designs for you to choose from.
