If you’ve shopped for off-the-shelf curtains before, you’ve probably run into the usual issues: lengths that don’t quite match, colours that clash with your space, or fabrics that just don’t feel right. That’s where custom curtains come in.
In 2025, more homeowners in Singapore are choosing made-to-measure curtains—not just for the fit, but for the freedom to control how a room feels, looks, and functions.
So, what exactly can you customise when it comes to curtains? Let’s break it down.
1. Curtain Length & Drop
Standard lengths don’t always work.
Custom curtains are cut to fit your actual wall or window height—whether that’s full drop to the floor, just above a ledge, or puddled for a luxurious touch.
You can choose:
- Exact height from track to floor
- Sill length for half-height windows
- Puddle length for extra drama in formal rooms
This is especially useful in:
- Condos with floor-to-ceiling glass
- Resale flats with varying ceiling heights
- Landed homes with custom-built window frames
2. Fabric Selection
Off-the-shelf options limit you to a few basic colours and materials. With custom curtains, you’ll get to choose from a wide library of textiles:
- Blackout, dimout, or sheer transparency
- Linen blends, polyesters, cotton mixes, or velvets
- Colours that work with your flooring, furniture, or wall tone
Want a warm taupe that matches your flooring? A matte grey that doesn’t reflect light? You’ll get it.
3. Pleat & Header Style
How your curtains hang makes a big visual difference.
With custom curtains, you can choose:
- S-fold / Ripple fold: Clean, even waves (very popular in modern homes)
- Pencil pleat: Classic, slightly gathered top
- French pleat / Double pleat: Structured and tailored
- Eyelet: For rods, more casual and minimalist
Each style requires a different track or rod setup—something off-the-shelf options rarely account for.
4. Layering & Track Configuration
Want both blackout and sheers? Need a curved or L-shaped track to follow your wall?
With custom curtains, your installer can:
- Fit double-layer tracks for sheer + blackout setups
- Curve the track to follow your room layout
- Hide tracks behind pelmets or false ceilings for a cleaner look
This kind of precision is rarely possible with DIY kits or online packages.
5. Colour Matching & Styling Support
Custom curtains aren’t just about getting the technical side right. It’s also about making sure the end result blends with your home.

- Bring fabric swatches to your home so you can see how colours look in your lighting
- Offer guidance on which tones match your walls, floors, and furniture

Why Go Custom?
- Better fit = cleaner finish, no awkward gaps

Custom curtains aren’t always about making a bold statement. Sometimes, they’re just the better choice when you want things done right—from the inside out.
