Help! Can't find any nursery curtains...

My nursery is white, with a feature wall using this wallpaper from Mamas and Papas:

www.mamasandpapas.com/product-whirligig-wallpaper/749054000/type-i/

There is a narrow but long window in the room which measures 90 cm (36") wide and the drop is about 180 cm (70")

The window already has a blackout blind. I'd like to have some nice curtains as well, but am struggling to find anything good or the right size. I'd like them to be sheer or light, nothing too heavy. There's a curtain pole there already so tab top or curtain ring type is fine.

The new carpet will be a soft light brown/biscuit, it's not too dark.

Ideally I'd like the curtains to be the same sort of pale lemon yellow, or they could be spotty/colourful as long as the colours are gentle/muted. I'd like to avoid anything too cutesy, it's just not us - so no motifs of teddy bears etc.

Is this window size just too odd? Am I better off making some? (Trying to avoid one more job if I can!)

Thanking you...

I used Kidsfabrics for mine.

There is a fantastic range of fabrics, the prices are incredibly reasonable and the quality of work is superb. I had curtains with blackout linings and interlining made, for a similar sized window to yours, for less than half the price I was quoted elsewhere.

That looks great, thank you!
