While both you and your spouse may have their points of view, always remember that best things in life are custom made. There are merits of getting the curtains custom made as compared to the readymade one. Here are merits chalked out for your insight.

Cost Cutting

 In the times of recession cost cutting is the favorite phrase. Spanning from the corporate sector to the home front, cost cutting is an important aspect of savings. The idea of buying the curtain fabric and getting it stitched by the local tailor will help you in saving a lot of money. In the retail showroom, the price you end up paying is pretty high as you invariably end up paying for the showroom expenses as well. Usually keeping in mind their profit margins, shopkeepers prefer fixed price system. However, you can bargain sometimes in case of the fabric.

Freedom Of Choice

In case of readymade curtains, you have to stick to the fixed set of curtains shown. You will not have the freedom to mix and match the different fabrics. In case of the custom made curtains, you can have the freedom to choose the fabric, colors and even designs. The best part of the custom made curtains is the fact that you can mix silk with net in design as well as in fabric.

Great Fit

If you wish to add elegance to your home décor then custom made curtains are the answer. In case of readymade curtains, you have to adjust with their fixed standard size as well. Not so great news if your home doors and windows are not the one-size-fit-all type. You will also have to bear the extra expense of getting it restitched according to the size of the windows and doors in your house. This will not only waste your time and energy but also valuable money. After purchasing the fabric, ask the shopkeeper to get it stitched by their in-house tailor. This will ensure that the entire product will be quality stuff as no shopkeeper would like to defame his image in the market.

Be Creative

 If you wish to make your custom made curtains more interesting then add a tinge of creativity in them. You can opt for embroidery work on the edges. Ensure the work is neat and done by the same tailor. Alternatively you can go for dupioni silk curtains that lend an aura of exclusivity to your home décor. In case you want a more intricate look, go for the mirror and sequin work. It will be a bit more time consuming but the end product would be marvelous. Keep in mind that the work should not overshadow the fabric. You are paying equally for the fabric and therefore the overall look of the curtain should be your call.

Less Hassles

After being busy throughout the day, market research for curtains is strictly no-no. The safest option is to head into a renowned shop for purchasing the fabric or even better, buy online. After purchasing the fabric, explain the tailor present in the shop to stitch it according to your brief. This will save your money as well as time. The fitting will be done by the tailor free of cost in case of any goof up. Good online websites offer custom made curtains as well. All you need to do is to give money and a design brief.
