Give Your Curtains a Second Life
At Green Bee Interiors, we love creating custom-made Roman blinds from beautiful fabrics—and sometimes, that fabric has already had a life as something else. This recent project is the perfect example.
Our customer had a pair of statement curtains in a classic blue and ivory check that no longer fit their new windows. Rather than letting them go to waste, she asked us to turn them into a made-to-measure Roman blind. Not only did this breathe new life into the fabric, but it also created a stylish focal point for her space.
To finish the look, we added a deep blue fringe trim along the bottom edge—proof that repurposed doesn’t have to mean plain!
Why Repurpose Curtains into Roman Blinds?
-
Save Money: Fabric is one of the biggest costs when it comes to custom window dressings. Reusing existing curtains can reduce your spend considerably.
-
Reduce Waste: If you love the fabric, why not reuse it? It’s an eco-conscious choice that helps reduce landfill.
-
Perfect Fit: Roman blinds typically require less fabric than curtains, making them ideal for repurposing from smaller panels.
-
Stylish Results: With professional craftsmanship and custom extras like trims or blackout lining, the final look is completely bespoke.
Thinking of Doing the Same?
We offer a bespoke Roman blind service using your own fabric—even if it comes in the form of pre-loved curtains. Whether you’ve moved house or are simply refreshing your space, we’ll help you turn something old into something beautiful.
