Living Room & Sitting Room Curtains, Made in Ireland

The living room window works harder than any other in the house: it frames the view by day, keeps the room warm and private by night, and sets the tone for the whole space. Ready made sizes rarely do it justice โ€” most Irish living room windows are wider than standard, and many are bays. Thatโ€™s exactly what our made to measure curtain service is for: full-length curtains cut for your window, your fabric and your heading style, handmade by our own makers.

Getting Living Room Curtains Right

Length and drop

Floor-length is the living room standard โ€” finishing about 1cm above the floor for a clean line, or puddled by 5โ€“10cm for a softer, more luxurious break. Sill-length rarely flatters a living room window.

Light and privacy

Pair sheer voiles for daytime privacy with lined dress curtains for evenings. Standard, thermal or interlined linings keep the room warmer and help the curtains hang beautifully.

Colour and fabric

Work with your sofa and walls, not against them โ€” see our guide to choosing curtains for grey walls and brown furniture, or browse the full fabric collection by colour.

How Much Do Living Room Curtains Cost?

Every pair is quoted individually โ€” the price depends on your window size, fabric and heading. Our fabric prices are published openly per metre (most of the range is โ‚ฌ35โ€“โ‚ฌ45 per metre, with sale fabrics from โ‚ฌ30), and wider windows or fuller headings simply use more metres โ€” our measuring guide shows how much. Your written quote is free, itemised and no-obligation.

Living Room Curtains โ€” Common Questions

Floor-length โ€” finishing about 1cm above the floor โ€” is the standard for living rooms. For a softer, more luxurious look, add 5โ€“10cm so the fabric puddles gently. Measure with our step-by-step guide.

Many living rooms use both: a blind or sheer voile for daytime privacy, with full-length dress curtains for warmth, softness and evenings. Curtains alone suit rooms where you want maximum softness and drama.

Warm neutrals โ€” biscuit, cappuccino and cream โ€” lift a grey sofa, while deeper charcoals add drama. See our full guide to matching curtains with grey walls and brown furniture.

Yes โ€” bay windows are a made to measure speciality. They usually need a track shaped to the bay rather than a pole; measure each section along the track, or contact us on (045) 433 585 and weโ€™ll talk you through it.
