Prices and What Is Included

For bedrooms, confirm the selected fabric, light-blocking performance and any additional lining in the quotation. The curtain range depends on the fabric chosen.

The price within each range depends on your chosen fabric. Curtains and sheers are priced separately. Rods and tracks are quoted separately.

The total depends on the approved quantity for each layer, not simply the number of windows. Share your location, approximate window sizes and photos so we can confirm the fabric, quantities and hardware in an itemised quotation.

Blackout Depends on More Than Fabric

Blackout Depends on More Than Fabric

A blackout lining can block light through the curtain, but light may still enter above, below, between panels and at the sides. Coverage, track position, fullness and overlap all affect the final result.

Measurements, fabric or material, heading, hardware and installation should be confirmed together before the order is finalised.

03 · Specification

What We Confirm Before the Order

A reliable specification connects the window dimensions with the way the room is used. We confirm the finished coverage, chosen material, operating method and installation conditions before production or fitting begins.

Finished Size and Coverage

We measure the intended treatment position, not only the glass. Width, drop, overlap, stack-back space, floor clearance and nearby handles or furniture all affect the finished size.

Blackout and lined options

A blackout lining can block light through the curtain, but light may still enter above, below, between panels and at the sides. Coverage, track position, fullness and overlap all affect the final result. The selection is checked against daylight, privacy, cleaning and how often the treatment will be opened.

Material, Heading and Hardware

Fabric weight, lining, fullness and heading must work with the rod or track. Confirming them together helps the treatment hang evenly, move freely and remain supported across the full span.

Clear Scope and Quotation

The quotation should identify the selected curtain and sheer fabrics, quantities, headings and any lining. Fabric, stitching and installation are included in the stated curtain and sheer ranges. Rods and tracks are quoted separately; any other agreed items should be clearly identified before approval.

Decision Guide

Plan the Details That Change the Result

A strong choice should work when it is open, closed and used every day—not only when viewed as a fabric sample.

Start With the Main Requirement

Decide whether blackout and lined options, privacy by day and night or measured overlaps matters most. Naming the priority first prevents a decorative choice from creating a practical problem later.

Check the Treatment in Both Positions

Consider the window when the treatment is closed and where the fabric, panels or blind will sit when open. Stack-back, projections, centre joins and side coverage affect views, daylight and access to handles.

Plan for Daily Operation

Think about who will use the treatment, how often it moves and how it will be cleaned. High or wide openings, heavy lined curtains and busy work areas may need different controls or hardware from a lightly used room.

Planning bedroom and blackout curtains, planned for better light control
Before Approval

Review the Complete Window Schedule

List every opening separately, even when several windows look similar. Record the location, finished width, drop, treatment type, material or fabric, colour, heading, lining, rod or track and installation notes. Repeated sizes can then be grouped, while unusual corners, doors or high windows remain visible in the scope.

Review samples in the room where possible because daylight, wall colour and artificial light can change how a material appears. Confirm which party supplies each item, whether old hardware must be removed, what surface preparation is included and how the finished treatment will be checked at handover. The approved schedule should agree with the quotation before fabrication begins.

04 · How It Works

Measured, Planned and Fitted

A clear process from the first enquiry to the finished installation.

01

Assess the Light

Identify the direction, strongest time of day and required level of darkness.

02

Measure Coverage

Confirm width, drop, centre overlap and potential side returns.

03

Choose Face Fabric and Lining

Compare appearance, weight, care and expected light reduction.

04

Install and Inspect

Hang the treatment and check gaps, movement and finished clearance.

Nairobi & Kenya

Site Details Matter

For Nairobi projects, a site visit can confirm dimensions, fixing surfaces, access and installation conditions. Projects elsewhere in Kenya can be discussed according to location and scope. Share the town or neighbourhood, number of windows, room type, approximate measurements and clear photos when requesting a quotation.

Photos help identify likely options, but final production dimensions should come from the agreed measurement method. Where access, ceiling height, removal of existing hardware or surface preparation affects fitting, those items should appear in the scope before work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do curtains and sheers cost?

Curtains cost KSh 1,800–2,500 per metre depending on fabric, including fabric, stitching and installation. Sheers cost KSh 1,100–1,800 per metre, also including fabric, stitching and installation, and are quoted separately from the main curtains. Rods and tracks are also quoted separately. Your total depends on the selected fabric and the quantity required for your windows.

Do blackout curtains make a room completely dark?

The fabric can block light through the curtain, but gaps around the installation may remain. Better coverage and overlaps improve the result.

Are blackout and room-darkening curtains the same?

No. Room-darkening fabrics reduce light, while blackout materials are designed for stronger light blocking.

Can blackout curtains have a decorative face fabric?

Yes. A suitable face fabric can be combined with blackout lining.

Should bedroom curtains include sheers?

Sheers are useful where daytime privacy and soft light are wanted while the main curtains remain open.

Can existing rods carry lined curtains?

That depends on the rod, span, brackets, fixing surface and the weight of the finished curtains. It should be checked before hanging.
