Welcome to The Curtain House

BWCWelcome to our website, thanks for looking in. I imagine if you're looking for curtains, curtain fabrics, blinds, curtain poles and curtain tracks, soft furnishings or lights in the Essex area you've visited loads of sites all offering a high standard of personal service and a large selection of curtain fabrics, poles, tracks and blinds. And they probably all will, but, now you've found us, relax, get a cup of tea or glass of wine and enjoy having a look around our site, we will try to take all the stress out of your soft furnishing needs.

We opened our curtain shop in Tiptree back in 2006 born out of the very sad closure of Bolingbroke and Wenley in Chelmsford. We now stock over 250 Curtain Express samples available for you to borrow. Samples are 26'' wide and over a metre drop with heading tape to hang so you can really see if the curtain fabric is right for you.

In our Richard Barrie gallery there are over 900 curtain fabric samples of the same size as the above for you to borrow at no charge. In addition to the hanging samples we have over 60 waterfall samples and 50 books of the Prestigious textiles ranges, Crowson and Blendworth curtain fabrics; not to mention our Lister stand - a company celebrating well over 100 years as a quality British textile company.

Course I haven’t mentioned our samples of window blinds, yes we've got hundreds of them too!!!

Our Range and Services

We have a free measuring and estimating service, our fitter will come to your home, he even takes his shoes off before entering, and will advise you on the best window dressing, curtain track or curtain pole for your window, he carries with him
a large curtain fabrics and blinds style book which includes swags tails and pelmets, and, catalogues of curtain poles and tracks so you can go through them with him all without any obligation. For
those of you who like to make your own curtains we can also work out the quantities and supply you with just the curtain fabric and linings from
any of our ranges. You can download a measure sheet to help us work out these for you, or bring in for us to work out the made up curtain prices.

Don't forget, our sale ends on 31st January. That said, we're feeling very generous so, if you book a measure before the end of the sale, we will hold the sale prices until the 14th February. Go on, we have some fabulous fabrics on offer....!

We have 100 new samples of Richard Barrie Fabrics (including Voyage and Edinburgh Weavers) now on show in the shop. It took us some time, and patience, to pull all the racks out, but we got there in the end! Why not come and take a look.
