Curtain advice

Need new curtains quickly for wide windows.
Sitting room windows measure 515cm width & 180cm drop. So 2 pairs, but I can't find any ready made curtains this wide. Also need another 2 pairs for 2 bedrooms - both 1/2 size of the sitting room window. In other words, 4 pairs of curtains 262cm wide & 180cm drop.

They are for our rental property - goodness knows what the current tenants have done to the curtains.....they have shrunk and bedroom curtains are missingHmm. I bought the old ones at B&Q, but they don't seem to sell them any more. New tenants move in in 10 days.

Do you have to provide them? Our last house didn't have any in.

Yes! We have signed contract saying they will be provided. Years ago when we signed up with agent, they suggested we provide them as a bit of a nightmare for a tenant to find.

Hmm, maybe write that out of the contract next time, it's a landlords market atm after all.
I got mine from a shop that sold curtains, towels, bedlinen etc. but it's shut now, so I wouldn't have a clue myself, sorry!

Ebay is probably your best bet but don't mess around with an auction (unless ending very soon). Would you be able to alter the length if need be?
Otherwise Dunelm (huge range).
