"I am so happy I found More Than Curtains to help with blinds and plantation shutters for renovating our newly acquired home. Lucia is highly knowledgeable and competent; able to give accurate and up-to-date advice, understood my needs and built a warm professional relationship from the start. Both Lucia and Elise gave top priority to personalised service, ensuring they were here when blinds and shutters were fitted, and attending to any questions or other matters without delay. I would highly recommend them and intend going back to them to finalise the second stage of our renovations."
Style By Gillian
Gillian Pembroke
"I have very successfully referred the wonderful mother and daughter team - Lucia and Elise from More than Curtains now numerous times. From lovely french blinds for a Hampton style makeover, to full sheers and privacy for a new home. They get it right and are extremely good value. Often they attend the home of my customer after I have been there.
This month however we had a very tight turnaround - a new home which required attention in time for a housewarming - so we had one hour with other trades plus the real estate agent hovering in the background - as the property was yet to settle !! - but the true professionals they are they measured and helped select exactly what the clients wanted - plus they very cleverly reused some sheers and adapted other drapes.
Love collaborating with these two - highly recommend More than Curtains."

"So happy with the solution we came to, and have referred on to at least five people who has installed window furnishings since we did. I love that there are options of quality and price available, and appreciate the honest views on the different products. Some of the options we chose we wouldn't choose again, because they just don't last as long, but we were advised this would happen, and made a couple of budget choices on these windows. Service is impecable - everything delivered as promised, phone calls always returned promptly, and so helpful at generating solutions. So refreshing to find people great at their job. Thank you so much."

"I would like to congratulate you on your amazing after-sales service! We purchased a number of curtains and pelmets for our home from More Than Curtains in 2014. We were very impressed with the quality and finish at that time. There was an issue with the fit of the pelmets in the bay windows which went unnoticed until we were removing them to paint around 9 months later. I was very grateful for your quick response to investigate the issue and have it professionally rectified, angles adjusted and refitted with no hesitation. Our windows look fantastic, high-end and very professional... a win-win outcome for all! Many thanks."

"I had wanted to update my lounge/dining room window coverings and pelmets which made these rooms in my home look very old fashioned. I found More Than Curtains through a website search and found MTC website very informative and in fact chose my new curtains and pelmets from an image on the website. I arranged a quote and Lucia and Elise came out very promptly. I found both ladies very knowledgeable and patient with me as I considered colours and fabrics. Lucia pointed out ideas for me which I had not considered previously and she was very helpful. Lucia answered my numerous questions via email and I felt confident that I was dealing with a knowledgeable and professional designer. The curtains have now been installed and I am thrilled with them! Both Lucia and Elise attended together with Victor the installer. The installation went smoothly and without mess or hassle. The new curtains and streamlined pelmets have given my lounge/dining room a more contemporary look and make the room feel modern and refreshed. I would not hesitate in using MTC for any future jobs around my home and thoroughly recommend their services to anyone needing design advice in regard to window coverings, supply and installation.

"I hired Lucia and Elise to do a complicated set of curtains for a few rooms in our home. The windows were really large and I really appreciated their input and advice on the best finish and style to achieve the result I was after. I had also found a particular fabric that I liked and they were able to accommodate my choice at a very competitive price. They completed the job exactly on time and were very good with the communication during the process. The end result is excellent and the rooms look fantastic. So much so I immediately asked them to do another room which has also turned out great. I would use them for all future curtains and blinds as they are well priced with great quality and service."

"My husband & I recently moved into a new apartment and Lucia & Elise met us on site to do a pre-settlement, measure and discussion as to what we wanted. They took their time and asked what we wanted, which at the time we thought was going to be shutters, but after looking at their great range of fabrics and styles, we actually settled on curtains and blinds Even my husband, who was keen on shutters, liked them, when they arrived on time.

"I thoroughly enjoyed working with Lucia & Elise. They were extremely professional, full of excellent recommendations and advice, extremely reliable, always on time for appointments and each project was delivered on time and on budget! My husband and I renovated most of our home and replaced every window covering in the house. I had ideas of what I would like and my husband had some ideas and this is where Lucia's experience came to the fore. By listening to what we were each saying and understanding the overall look we were aiming for with the house, Lucia & Elise came up with fantastic suggestions for each room including shutters for the front of the house, white blinds and light linen white curtains for the 3 living areas (including larger stacker doors at the rear of the house) and double blinds for my daughter's room. The whole look goes brilliantly with our light grey walls and basic Hamptons theme and each piece is beautifully made. This was a totally enjoyable experience thanks to Lucia, Elise & team and I am more than happy to recommend them to anyone."

She was very patient with picking fabrics - MTC have a huge selection, but Lucia helped by narrowing down the options to those that best fit our needs and budget. She got everything done on time and was the most competitively priced on both occasions. We are so happy with all of the window treatments - we have not needed to install air conditioning or heating in the house!"
