Process

From showroom advice to the finished room.

A simple look at how an idea for a room becomes finished work: advised, measured, quoted, prepared, checked and installed.

  1. Hands comparing fabric, wallpaper and finish samples on a showroom worktable.

    Advise

    • Review the room, style and practical needs.
    • Compare photos, colours, fabrics and finishes.
    • Consider light, privacy and existing furniture.
    • Suggest a clear direction before measuring.

    Bring photos, measurements, fabric ideas, room colours or problem areas.

    Outcome: a clear direction before anything is measured, quoted or made.
  2. Workshop sewing machine with thread cones and measuring tape.

    Measure

    • Check window sizes, wall space and floor length.
    • Review furniture placement and fitting points.
    • Confirm how each curtain or blind will operate.
    • Record the details needed for accurate quoting.

    Have access to the windows, recesses, walls and any furniture that affects the fit.

    Outcome: accurate measurements and practical notes for quoting.
  3. Free State Curtain Parlour reception counter with pendant lights and wallpaper.

    Quote

    • Confirm fabrics, finishes and supplier details.
    • Separate made-to-measure and sourced items.
    • Clarify installation, fitting or handover needs.
    • Bring the agreed choices into one clear quote.

    Review the selected fabric, finish, supplier items and any fitting details before approval.

    Outcome: a clear quote and confirmed scope of work.
  4. Workshop team member preparing light fabric on a cutting table.

    Prepare

    • Order or source the agreed materials.
    • Prepare fabric, lining, tracks and hardware.
    • Coordinate specialist work where needed.
    • Make each piece to the approved room direction.

    The workshop and trusted suppliers prepare the approved pieces in the background.

    Outcome: made, sourced or coordinated items ready for final checking.
  5. Workshop team member checking finished curtain fabric on a long table.

    Check

    • Review the finish against the agreed direction.
    • Check practical fit, details and presentation.
    • Confirm pieces are ready for handover or fitting.
    • Resolve final details before installation.

    Finished work is checked before it leaves the workshop or is handed over.

    Outcome: pieces are ready for fitting, delivery or collection.
  6. Finished curtains installed around a bright patio room with a chair and plant.

    Install

    • Fit curtains, blinds, tracks or finishing pieces.
    • Dress and position items in the chosen room.
    • Check the final look and everyday operation.
    • Hand over the completed work neatly.

    Make sure the room is accessible and ready for fitting or final placement.

    Outcome: the finished details sit properly in the room they were chosen for.
