What to Expect from a Custom Curtain Consultation
Booking a custom curtain consultation shouldn’t feel intimidating — it’s the most exciting part of transforming your home. Think of it as a relaxed design collaboration that helps you discover the perfect window treatments for light, privacy, and aesthetics. At Redgraves Home Fabrics, our consultations are all about making your vision effortless and enjoyable.
Step 1: Booking Your Consultation
Whether you're browsing online or visiting our North Shore showroom, the process starts with a simple booking. A friendly Redgraves consultant will confirm a convenient time for your complimentary in‑home visit, available across Auckland and the surrounding regions.
You don’t need to know exactly what you want — we’ll guide you through every decision, from design inspiration to installation scheduling.
Step 2: The In‑Home Visit
During your appointment, your Redgraves consultant will take the time to understand your home’s character, natural light, and overall design vision. Expect discussion around functionality, privacy requirements, and fabric preferences.
We’ll bring curated fabric swatches, texture samples, and examples of heading styles like wave, pencil, or inverted pleat so you can visualise how each option looks in your own lighting.
Step 3: Expert Design Guidance
Our consultants are interior stylists as much as technicians. They’ll help balance fabric weight, colour tone, and texture with your existing furnishings. Whether you love soft sheers that diffuse daylight or blackout drapes that frame a cinematic living space, we’ll refine your design to suit your lifestyle perfectly.
We also provide thoughtful advice about layering sheers and drapes to achieve both comfort and ambience — an essential detail for today’s multi‑functional homes.
Step 4: Precision Measurements and Quoting
Accurate measurements are key. We measure every window carefully, noting surrounding architectural details to ensure a flawless finish. Once we’ve mapped out your windows, you’ll receive a tailored quote outlining fabrics, finishes, and timelines clearly — no surprises later.
Step 5: Crafting and Installation
Your custom curtains are handcrafted by the Redgraves team with the precision and textile expertise we’re known for. Most orders are completed within 4–6 weeks and installed by our professional fitters to achieve the perfect fall and fullness. Every piece is steamed, aligned, and quality‑checked before completion.
Step 6: Enjoying the Results
Once installed, your bespoke curtains won’t just frame your windows — they’ll redefine your interiors. From elegant cascading drapes to smart motorised blinds, your new window treatments enhance comfort, control, and design harmony throughout your home.
