ASK THE EXPERTS
Interior Design
We are refurbishing a church in Somerset and need help from an interior designer. Any ideas?
You could contact Concept Interiors (www.conceptinterior.co.uk) as they are actually based in Somerset. Their practice works regularly with architects, property developers and other professionals as part of a larger design team and they would be very interested in discussing this project.
I would like to cover the ground floor windows of my house with a contemporary- look fabric as I dislike net curtains. Can I hang this fabric quite flat with a weighted bottom bar rather than have it gathered, or would it look too much like I have just hung a flat bed sheet against the window?
That should work. I suggest attaching the fabric to a pelmet with Velcro so it is easy to remove for washing.
Also consider:
1. Screening only the bottom half if you have sash windows.
2. Using the sheer fabric to make a stiffened roller blind.
3. Using an iron pole (which could be hung from the ceiling or wall) and hanging the sheer fabric from the pole with ties.
4. Making a soft blind which rolls up.
