I'm looking for fabric to have made into large, floor length curtains for a bay window in our living room. I thought I'd be spoilt for choice but I keep finding fault!

Criteria:

-I like colour, hate beige/brown and orange.
-we are not sophisticated types.
-I like retro prints over traditional swirly types.

I like this tempo by harlequin range, particularly Fizz and Tempo. Not keen on brown.

and LOVE this www.sanderson-uk.com/maia-fabric.aspx the embroidery one. but maybe it's too floaty for a living room and is more bedroomy?

I'd appreciate any thoughts or recommendations for sites, ta!

Ah, the middle classes. How lucky they are. Their nightmares are not of lost jobs or delinquent children, drugs or money. Just curtain fabric...

LLW - I feel your pain and was coming on to post a similar dilemma. Shall we set up a support group? Wink

Have you looked at Designers Guild? Or Villa Nova?

What colour are your living room walls?

I need curtains for both my living room and bedroom. Didn't like anything in John Lewis. Didn't think I was picky but obviously I am.
