We need your help! We have been looking for thermal curtains for over a year now and can't decide on what would suit the room. The walls are a soft grey but change of light makes them seem darker. Sofa is a light grey with blue cushions. Any suggestions?

What a beautiful window. I think you need a very pale off white fabric perhaps with a hint of silver or lavender thread.

Maybe a turquoise and grey check on a cream background. Although make sure you have curtain cords so you can keep them clean.

Maybe turquoise edging or tie backs. Or both.

You could make an appt with an interior stylist at John Lewis. It was free when I wanted to look at lots of potential fabrics last year.

I filled out a form on the JL website, had a follow up call with the lady, then emailed her my floor plan and photos of the room. When I went into store to meet her, she'd already picked out lots of lovely fabrics. Some of them I ended up getting for cushions and to recover a footstool. She wasn't pushy in the slightest though and ordered me samples of the fabrics I liked.

I didn't end up buying curtains from them, but the process and discussion helped me decide what I did want for blinds and curtains. Ended up going to a local curtain lady for those.

Great idea- I didn't know JL offered this service.
