George Clarke visited our teams in Nottingham to discover what goes into every Hillarys window dressing
As an architect, I know when it comes to home transformations, your windows are key. Choosing the right window dressing can make a massive difference in any room, and it’s so important to get everything just right.
I met Kevin and Yvonne from Hillarys to take a look behind the curtain to see what goes into each and every Hillarys product order.
So where does the process all start?
As well as making budget choices, you’ve got to make big design choices about colour, texture and the look and feel of a room.
All Hillarys advisors are expertly trained to help the customer decide what’s best for their home
When it comes to measuring up, Hillarys have that sorted too. Kevin tells me that they ‘make sure we get the width of the curtain right and the drop, getting the perfect measurements.’
Once all of your decisions are made, it’s off to the factory in Nottingham.
Here I met with Product Design Manager, Yvonne Keal who told me all about what her team do.
‘We’re responsible for the product collections at Hillarys,’ says Yvonne. ‘We get inspiration from trends around the world.’
Fabric is picked and cut to size, then made to measure to the customer’s exact requirements, including their choice of lining and heading
‘All the finished curtains get quality checked before they leave the factory floor, to make sure the curtain is absolutely perfect before it goes to the customer,’ explains Yvonne.
It’s nice that a lot of this is done by eye, which I love.
I notice how the finished curtain is completed with a Hillarys bow tied around it – such a beautiful touch.
Back at the customer’s home, I have to say, the curtains are stunning.
‘We steam the curtains to make sure the pleats hang perfectly for you.’ Kevin Andrews, Local Hillarys Advisor
