'Modern' curtains...

Hi all!

Without making them myself [I don't have time] where would you shop for a 'modern' print curtain?

I've trawled the internet and I keep getting floral and stuffy results.

Thanks in advance :)

PS I do love floral, but I don't want my house coated in the stuff ;)

    IKEA have some nice modern prints for very reasonable prices.

    Why not sew your own?

    John Lewis can normally be relied on for such things.

    Dunelm Mill -

    £600 for a HUGE window (floor to ceiling (high), three widths per curtain). They would also have made matching cushion covers for us if we'd wanted them. Excellent service.

    If you find fabric you like, you can always pay a local person to get curtains made up

    I have just bought some from a local supplier. They must have had over 1,000 samples of fabric to choose from.

    I've just sold my house and the buyer wanted my 7 yr old Harry Corry curtains. They looked as good as the day they went up
