Curtain Colour
We recommend neutral-coloured curtains, as you may not be able to change them often due to the sizes and costs.

Curtain Fabric
The curtains are fixed directly into apex and angled windows, which means the heading does not move. You have to open and close the curtains using tiebacks at each side.
Therefore, it is best to avoid heavy, stiff, or blackout fabrics, as they may cut off too much sunlight.
Sheer voile curtains are lightweight and soft, and let in plenty of natural light. They are highly recommended by interior designers. www.voilavoile.com offers a huge selection of sheer voile curtains.

Curtain Heading
A pencil pleat heading with velcro is recommended if you don’t have a curtain track. With velcro curtains, you don’t need to install a pole or a track. Pencil/pinch pleat curtains can also be hung from a curtain track if you do have one.

Curtain Height and Finishes
Experts recommend having an approximately 15cm/6” pool of curtain fabric on the floor. This creates a more luxurious and grand look, and it also means you don’t have to measure so strictly and precisely. It also resolves the issue of the curtains being uneven on angled windows.

Measuring Apex and Angled Windows
1. Draw the basic shape of the window.
2. Measure the tallest height and shortest height.
3. Measure the widest width of the window.
4. Measure angle length.
5. Measure the top width if the top of the window is not an A shape.
