Our favourite social posts from this month
Throughout November, we’ve seen our customers take their homes to the next level as they prepare for the colder months ahead. From enhancing windows to upgrading doors, this month has been all about creating warm, cosy spaces that are as stylish as they are practical. From classic curtains to innovative electric Roman blinds that can be scheduled to open and close at set times of the day, our customers have embraced solutions that blend comfort with modern convenience. Let’s explore the inspiring ways they’ve transformed their homes.
Styled for comfort
First up, we have this gorgeous submission from @katiecurates_, who has brought a touch of warmth and elegance to her patio doors with her new Ficus Leaf Natural Linen curtains. She began by ordering a selection of fabrics through our free sample service, carefully comparing each option to find the perfect design – a thoughtful process that paid off beautifully.
These double pinch pleat curtains are the perfect addition to the space, providing style, comfort, and privacy, while also offering practical benefits. Thanks to their thermal blackout lining, they’ll help keep her home warm during the colder months and cooler in the summer, all while helping to reduce energy bills.
The calming tones of white and grey woven throughout the space perfectly complement the overall aesthetic, adding to the cosy, inviting atmosphere that makes the room feel welcoming all year round.
More than just a practical addition, the curtains bring character and sophistication to the room, tying the kitchen and dining areas together. The subtle autumnal hues in the room’s plants help create a space of calm and serenity, making it a charming spot for everything from morning coffee to cosy family dinners. With this stylish update, the room is not only visually cohesive but also perfectly prepared for the cooler months, offering both comfort and seasonal style.
Electric elegance
Next, we have a stunning bedroom transformation from @rubysowugc, who has upgraded her windows with the motorised option of the Rustic Recycled Natural Linen Roman blind.
Layering the window beautifully by pairing the motorised Roman blind with voile curtains, Ruby has been able to achieve total light control. With its thermal blackout lining, the blind provides complete darkness when needed, while also keeping the space warm and cosy. Meanwhile, the voile curtains allow for soft, diffused light, casting a warm, golden glow that makes the room feel absolutely dreamy.
The room’s soft white and cream palette creates a serene, harmonious retreat, while the thoughtful layering of the Roman blind and voile curtains adds both style and function. It’s a beautiful reminder that practical window solutions can also elevate the overall feel of a space.
With a simple tap of the Comfyshade remote, she is able to adjust the blind from the comfort of her bed, and with the Comfyshade Smart Controller Accessory, these blinds can even be controlled by voice or set on a timer. This means the preferred light settings are maintained automatically, even when you’re not at home.
A warm welcome home
Finally this month, we have this beautifully styled hallway transformation, where @fromlondontomanchester has added a dramatic curtain across her front door to introduce both warmth and character. Living in a charming period property, she knew that while old houses are full of beauty, they don’t always offer the best insulation – making this update as practical as it is striking. After ordering a fabric sample, she instantly fell in love with the Portland Navy curtain, and has shown that curtains can be just as impactful on doors as they are on windows.
The bold navy stripes pair effortlessly with the hallway’s existing colour scheme, sitting beautifully alongside the dusky pink front door and surrounding tones. Details such as the tiled floor add texture and a sense of individuality, while the warm glow from the lampshade and the cheerful pop of yellow from the sunflowers on the dresser create a welcoming, homely atmosphere that feels both inviting and thoughtfully curated.
Even the curtain pole plays its part, adding dimension and visual interest to the space. It’s a perfect example of how the right pole and finials can enhance the overall design – and with our extensive range available, including styles suitable for over doors, there’s an option to suit every interior.
Finished with a thermal lining, the curtains not only elevate the hallway’s style but help keep the cold at bay, reinforcing how curtains can be a beautiful solution for warmth as well as design – creating an entrance that feels just as cosy as it looks.
