Dress Your French Doors with Quality

We’ve spent decades refining the way curtains are cut, sewn and pleated by hand. Sarah began the craft in 1989; today, Harriet leads with the same quiet precision and attention to detail.

We use premium linings, interlinings and carefully chosen fabrics that hang cleanly and wear beautifully over time. Each curtain is shaped to your space, measured properly, stitched slowly, and made to feel right from day one.

If you’re unsure how French doors affect your curtain fit, our team is always here to help.

FAQs

What type of curtains work best for French doors?

Made-to-measure curtains are ideal for French doors, as they allow for a precise fit and smooth movement. Opt for lightweight fabrics or softly lined options to let light in while maintaining privacy. Custom-made styles ensure your curtains won’t block door handles, catch on frames, or compromise the architectural lines of your doors.

Do curtains for French doors need special measurements?

They do, especially as French doors open and close differently from standard windows. Accurate measuring ensures that your curtains hang properly, drape cleanly, and don’t interfere with the doors’ operation. Our curtain measuring guides and expert support make it easy to get the fit just right for your space.

Can I have sheer curtains on my French doors?

Sheer curtains are a popular choice for French doors. They offer a balance of natural light diffusion and lightweight privacy, making them perfect for lounges, kitchens or garden rooms. Their soft, flowing style enhances your view while adding a subtle layer of elegance.

Are your curtains for French doors made-to-measure?

All our curtains are made-to-measure by hand in our British workshop. This bespoke service allows you to choose the perfect combination of fabric, lining, and pleat style to suit your space. The result is a tailored finish that complements your home and functions seamlessly with your French doors.

What size curtains should I get for French doors?

To achieve the best look, we suggest allowing extra width for gentle fullness and selecting a floor-length drop so the curtains just kiss the floor. This provides better light control and a more refined finish. Our team is happy to help you calculate exact measurements based on your door type and layout.

Should French door curtains touch the floor?

In most interiors, yes. Full-length curtains create a more cohesive and elegant look across the full height of the door. They also improve insulation and privacy, particularly for doors that face gardens or streets. Slight puddling at the base can add softness, depending on the fabric you choose.

How do you put curtains on a French door?

Curtains for French doors are typically mounted on a track or curtain pole positioned above the frame. This ensures they open and close with ease and do not obstruct the door handles. We can guide you through installation options, including brackets, pole finishes and discreet fittings suited to different materials such as uPVC or timber.
