Bespoke Curtain Maker In Surrey: Handmade Curtains, Blinds, and Soft Furnishings For Your Home

Katherine Brown Curtains and Blinds has been dressing windows across Surrey for years, working in homes from the period townhouses of Guildford and Farnham to the larger properties of the Cobham, Esher and Weybridge stockbroker belt. Every commission is designed from scratch and made to order, because Surrey homes are too varied for anything off the shelf to do them justice.

Whether you are framing a view over the Surrey Hills or solving a practical problem with an awkward bay window, our work starts with your home, your rooms and how you actually live in them.

You’re at the start of your journey…

You can relax in the knowledge that we work across Surrey regularly and understand the area well. The county has an enormous range of property styles, from Arts and Crafts houses and Edwardian villas through to contemporary new builds and converted barns, and each one presents different opportunities and challenges when it comes to window treatments.

Our job is to bring creative design, outstanding craftsmanship and the technical knowledge needed to get the details right. Curtain making at this level is not just about choosing a beautiful fabric. It is about understanding how that fabric will hang, how it works with the light in your specific room, and how the hardware needs to be configured for a flawless result.

Surrey Homes Have Character, And Your Window Treatments Should Too

A cottage in Cranleigh with low ceilings and small casement windows needs a completely different approach to a double-fronted Victorian in Reigate with tall sash windows and deep bay returns. A modern family home in Virginia Water with wide expanses of glass calls for something different again.

This is where working with a specialist makes a real difference. We are not choosing from a catalogue. We are designing around your rooms, your architecture and the way natural light moves through your home during the day. Katherine and the team will often spot possibilities you have not considered, whether that is a bold lining choice that transforms a neutral scheme or a heading style that gives a room more height and drama.

We source fabrics from independent houses including Romo, Linwood, Sanderson, Colefax and Fowler, and Designer Guild. These are not the ranges you will find on the high street, and seeing them in person, draped and held against your walls, is a very different experience from scrolling a website.

Blinds And Soft Furnishings For Surrey Homes

Our work is not limited to curtains. We design and make bespoke Roman blinds, roller blinds, and a full range of soft furnishings including cushions, pelmets and bolsters. For Surrey homes with orangeries, garden rooms or bi-fold doors, blinds are often the practical choice, and we use Somfy motorised systems where a clean, uncluttered look matters.

Many clients come to us for curtains and then realise they would like blinds in other rooms, or cushions and soft furnishings to tie everything together. We are happy to work on a single window or to dress an entire house.

Inspiring confidence, guiding your choices.

Our team is skilled in a range of pleating techniques to match our clients’ aesthetic visions. Before all the wonderful craft, it is important to begin with creativity.

From the refined structure of pinch pleats and the soft flow of wave pleats to the dramatic elegance of goblet pleats, each style is carefully crafted to elevate the character of any room. Every pleat is hand-finished to ensure precision, resulting in a look that exudes luxury and attention to detail.

Surrey Curtain & Blind FAQ

  • Do You Work Across All Of Surrey?

    Yes. We work throughout the county, from the towns closer to London such as Esher, Cobham and Weybridge through to Guildford, Farnham, Godalming and the Surrey Hills. We visit you at home for consultations and installations.

  • How Much Do Bespoke Curtains Cost In Surrey?

    Every project is different, and price depends on fabric choice, lining, heading style, the size of your windows and the complexity of the installation. We provide fully itemised estimates after your consultation so you know exactly what to expect. For more detail on what affects pricing, see our guide to curtain and blind cost factors.

  • How Long Does A Typical Project Take?

    From initial consultation to installation, most projects take between six and ten weeks. This varies depending on fabric availability and the scale of the work. We will give you a clear timeline at the estimate stage.

  • Can You Help With Period Properties In Surrey?

    Absolutely. Surrey has a wonderful mix of Victorian, Edwardian and Arts and Crafts homes, each with their own window shapes and architectural details. We have extensive experience working with sash windows, bay windows and other period features. Our guide on choosing curtains for Victorian and Edwardian homes covers many of the considerations involved.

  • Do I Need To Know What I Want Before Getting In Touch?

    Not at all. Some clients come to us with a clear vision, others want to explore ideas from scratch. Both are equally welcome. Our consultation is designed to help you discover what works best for your home, and our inspiration page is a good place to start if you would like to browse first.

  • What Is The Difference Between Using A Bespoke Curtain Maker And Buying Online?

    The difference is in the design, the fit and the quality. Off-the-shelf curtains are made to standard sizes and limited fabric choices. Bespoke curtains are designed around your specific windows, your room proportions and your taste. We explain this in more detail in our article on using a professional curtain designer vs buying curtains online.

Such a pleasure working with Sara and Katherine at KB curtains and blinds. So helpful for a novice like me, great guidance and suggestions on fabrics.

Stephen Prujean

Katherine helped us choose fabrics for our curtains and also a fitted bolster cushion. The fabric options she presented to us were all gorgeous, once we chose the fabric they were beautifully fitted.

Katherine made four gorgeous roman blinds for my bedroom. Every part of the process was a pleasure – I loved the fabric she suggested – and there was a huge amount of choice.
