In my new apartment, we have a mixture of Velux and normal windows. For ease of use and visual interest, we have decided to go for blinds at three windows, tab top curtains for the easy to reach windows and also curtains on the Velux windows. These will be completed by fixing a metal cafe rod to the top and bottom of each of the windows, and sliding curtains curtains onto the poles so that they slide open and closed, with ties on the back to keep them open.
I roped my expert curtain maker (my mum!) in to help with this project (she's amazing at turning my every fabric whim into reality)
The below photos show the process of making the curtains for the velux windows, whist the photo on the bottom shows hand sewing the cream pompoms onto the bottom of the tab top curtains. These pompoms will also feature on the blackout blinds that we plan to use in the kitchen, landing and study.
