Pelmets

Long gone are the plain, painted, wooden pelmets of the 1950s and 60s. Today, we are able to create a stunning finish to your windows with bespoke fabric pelmets which reflect the style of your curtains and blinds. Pelmets give prominence to a window and are particularly useful when the heading of the curtain needs to be hidden. The advantage of a pelmet is that is hides any joins in the curtain tracks or poles.

Pelmets to complement your window

Pelmets come in all shapes and sizes. When we design your pelmet, we take into account the style of your curtains, the chosen fabric as well as the height and width of the window. In a contemporary or minimalist room a simple, rectangular shape often gives the best results. For a more sumptuous look the pelmet can be shaped along the lower edge with a smooth curve [insert picture here]

For a child’s room or nursery, we like to introduce some fun with imaginative designs. For example, a zig-zag shape to a pelmet to look a little like bunting or even a castellated top edge to represent the battlements on a castle!

Finishing touches create the perfect pelmet

As with all our work, attention to detail is important. If the pelmet is made from a patterned or floral fabric, we will help you pick out one of the colours for borders. A beaded trim adds a special touch to the design of your pelmet. As always, the world is your oyster. We will guide you towards the right decision for your window.

A valance is similar to a pelmet in that it finishes off your window treatment. However, its look is completely different.

A gathered pelmet, usually made from matching fabric, gives a softer, more feminine appearance to the window. They have headings similar to curtains or valances and have a softer, more traditional feel.

Completing the project

The Changing Views service means that you don’t have to worry about installation. This applies to the fitting of pelmets as well as you curtains or blinds. All in all, adding tailor-made pelmets to your window design completes the look.

I was recommended Changing Views to design and make my curtains and soft furnishings during my full farmhouse renovation and re-model. I was keen to use someone local and independent and I’m so glad I did. Beth and Debbie are not only extremely knowledgeable and skilled at what they do but also lovely to work with, each meeting was professional and good humoured. I had only intended to use a made to measure service for the principle rooms, but having started working with them I soon decided to hand the whole project over to them and they made every curtain and blind in the house which was over 20 pairs. They were quick to get an idea and understanding of my style and recommended fabrics that they knew would work with my interior designs. Their product knowledge of so many fabrics is amazing. I had many meetings with them and they were always very patient and happy to be flexible with changing ideas. Their service included installing the tracks and poles, along with personally coming and hanging each curtain and blind to check everything was perfect, this complete service took a lot of pressure off me during a busy building project and they stuck to their lead times but were flexible when my build schedule had to change. I also used them to make cushions, chair covers, window seats and bench cushions, all of which are beautiful and the quality is commented on by everyone who comes to the house. I am delighted with each curtain and blind and amazed how the pattern matching is flawless and how stunning they look. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Changing Views.
