We are expanding our range with two classic curtain solutions – café curtains and curtain valances. Both have long been appreciated for their ability to create cosy, personal windows, and they suit traditional and modern homes equally well. The new products are launched in some of our most popular fabrics from the existing collection, making it easy to add matching products to the curtain solution in your home.
With made-to-measure heights and several fabric options, it's easy to adapt both café curtains and curtain valances to the window, the room and the style you want to create.
Café curtains – more light, fewer prying eyes
Café curtains are a lovely choice for rooms where you want to reduce visibility from the outside without blocking out daylight. They typically cover the lower part of the window, making them especially suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and other rooms where you want to maintain a bright and open feel.
The look can be varied depending on the fabric, colour and the way you hang it. A sheer café curtain on a classic café curtain rod gives the window a soft, country charm, while a coarser fabric can bring out a more modern, Scandinavian look. In this way, café curtains can be both a practical and a decorative detail, whatever your interior style.

Curtain valances – a classic with a modern twist
Many people associate curtain valances with a classic interior style, but today they are seen in more and more modern homes. By choosing the right fabric and curtain pole, the curtain valance can act as a decorative detail that frames the window without dominating the room.
Just like café curtains, curtain valances can be adapted to different styles and settings. In a country-style home they enhance the cosy feel, while in a more modern interior they can add softness and texture to straight lines and pared-back materials. Curtain valances are also a decorative choice for windows where space is limited and curtain panels are not an option.
