Curtain Manufacturing for architects, designers and retailers : Your Questions Answered

(Addressing the questions you might have, even if you haven't yet articulated them)

5th October 2025

You have an interior design project that requires curtains and blinds, and you're looking to outsource this aspect. You want to ensure the chosen partner aligns with your vision and wider schedule. Here are a few questions you might ask to ensure your requirements are met when working with a London-based curtain workroom.

QUALITY

Q. How do you ensure high-quality manufacturing that matches the project's standards and your client's expectations?

A. Work with a partner who is as invested in your business's reputation as you are.

The highest quality designer market caters to discerning customers who expect exceptional quality as standard. If the quality is not exceptional, your clients will notice, and it will reflect poorly on your brand.

Your company's prestige is my concern.

WORKROOM

Q. How do I outsource the curtains, blinds, and soft furnishings part of a project while still maintaining a sense of control and ensuring a personal approach?

A. You need a transparent process that will be sensitive to the needs of your project.

A vision's integrity is maintained with personal service with an open communication with a direct point of contact that will keep you updated and is sensitive to the nuance of each item's requirements in itself and as part of the aesthetic of the wider project. Many issues can be avoided through meticulous scrutiny of order details at the earliest stage, ensuring no detail is overlooked. 

Seek a manufacturer specialising in bespoke curtains for the fast-paced industry of interior designers and luxury curtain retailers, ensuring flexibility, reliability and consistency with every piece and a responsiveness and ability to adapt to varying project scopes. You should expect an open communication

Me and my workroom, tucked away in East London, have experience with a diverse range of clients, equipped to manage everything from single bespoke items to large, complex projects. Being located near the heart of London and surrounding areas adds a level of accessibility to projects based in and around the Capital. 

DEADLINES

Q. How can you confidently avoid costly delays and disrupted client expectations

A. Entrusting curtain makers with a seamless working system that minimises friction is crucial. This system should encompass a comprehensive understanding of the entire process leading up to a booked fitting date.

Proactive communication is key. Should an issue arise that could lead to a delay—for example, fabrics not arriving—it is vital to identify this in advance of a scheduled project manufacturing slot to prevent timing setbacks. 

The House of Mulholland workroom is adept at meeting tight deadlines and providing timely updates on project progress, giving you complete peace of mind.

AFTERCARE AND MAINTENANCE

Q. What support do you offer for aftercare and maintenance of the manufactured items?

A.Partner with a workroom that provides comprehensive guidance on the longevity and care of your bespoke furnishings.

Ensuring the enduring beauty and functionality of high-end curtains and blinds requires proper aftercare. We provide detailed advice on cleaning, maintenance, and any specific considerations for the chosen fabrics and designs.
