Melanie Downing Interiors

Mel is an independent curtain maker who has been creating beautiful hand made curtains, blinds and soft furnishings for private clients, interior designers and property developers for over 20 years. Mel sews hand made lined curtains, interlined curtains, pelmets, roman blinds, roller blinds, headboards, cushions and upholsters chairs and sofas. Mel provides a complete bespoke curtain making service from measuring your home, designing and sewing your hand made curtains and blinds through to fitting curtains in a final installation and hanging.

Realising that it is easier to make these choices in the comfort of your own home, I arrive with a fantastic array of designer fabric books. Time is spent getting to know you - your lifestyle, taste and budget. From a simple linen Roman Blind to more elaborate curtains and pelmets, I will happily give advice and work with you to achieve the perfect look for your home. The complete service includes measuring and designing to the final installation and hanging, and those important finishing touches to complement the room with beautiful throws and bespoke cushions, window seats and headboards.

Mel specialises in designing and creating bespoke curtains and blinds, upholstery and the finishing touches such as cushions. With many years of experience, a wonderful library of fabric books and a fabulous experienced team of seamstresses and upholsterers, Mel offers a complete bespoke service. Mel will carefully guide you through choices and ultimately what will suit your room together with the fabric chosen and the look you are wanting to achieve. Mel has a fabulous team of experienced ladies who help her make up the blinds, curtains and cushions but as she also sews this allows a hands on approach to what works in reality not just in a magazine!
