From Concept to Curtain: A Day in the Life of a Redgraves Consultant

Every beautiful window treatment begins with a vision—and a trusted guide. At Redgraves Home Fabrics, our consultants are more than experts; they’re storytellers, creative partners, and champions of bespoke design in homes across Auckland and New Zealand.

Morning: Inspiration & Discovery

The day starts at our North Shore showroom, surrounded by the latest textile collections and global design trends.

  • Client meetings: Each consultation is a fresh journey. Our experts listen to your ideas, note your lifestyle needs, and help refine your vision.

  • Sample curation: Consultants select fabric samples, demonstrate how colour and texture influence mood and light, and tailor solutions for each unique space.

Midday: In-Home Consultation

After prepping designs, our consultant heads out for an in-home session:

  • Precise measurements: Every window and space is carefully assessed for custom fit.

  • Style advice: Offering guidance on pelmets, heading styles, and integration with existing décor, our experts ensure seamless harmony from concept to creation.

  • Problem-solving: Navigating challenging architecture, sun control needs, or privacy preferences with designer insight.

Afternoon: Design & Quoting

Back at Redgraves, the team collaborates to bring concepts to life:

  • Final recommendations: Bringing together fabrics, finishes, and control systems suited to your tastes.

  • Tailored quotes: Transparent, detailed proposals reflect both quality and value—never generic solutions.

  • Production coordination: Working with skilled makers, consultants oversee every detail, from cutting to sewing to quality checks.

Evening: Installation & Satisfaction

For many consultants, the day ends with a professional installation, transforming spaces and exceeding client expectations.

  • Personal support: Even after installation, our team is available for advice, adjustments, and ongoing care.

  • Celebrating results: Each finished curtain or blind is a unique blend of your vision and Redgraves’ craftsmanship—lasting beauty for years to come.
