Curtains shops?

I need curtains for the house, living room ones first and foremost.
I went to a few shops, one being M&S in Sprucefield as they had a 20% off sale.

with the discount for the ones I liked were £400!! No way would I pay that. They were made to measure, but still.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good shop or two in the Belfast area?

Any help appreciated!

    We got ours from Harry Corry, but they were still expensive, decent quality costs. You might be lucky in a charity shop or on Gumtree, but choice will obviously be limited. Other option is to make them or have them made locally, but I don't think that would be much cheaper, if at all.
    Roman blinds are nice!

    I tried Harry Corry but struggled to find anything I was mad about. I did buy 3 poles from them though!


    I went into Dunelm but didnt do a proper look, will do that tonight.

    Also used rite price on york street. Very good service from shop and from the fitter they sent out
  • You could pick your material and get them made at The Skip in Newtownards - I did this a few months ago as I couldn't find the right curtain in Harry Corry (or anywhere else) and it worked out at much the same price for something unique and just right for the room!

    Not cheap but the quality & service was 2nd to none.

    Let them know your budget & they will sort something for you.

    The wife doesn't look at the price anymore, she thinks shes married to a millionaire!
  • The Skip in Newtownards is really good! I recommend it!

    We've had great service from Tilly in Spinning Wheel, beside City hall. She also runs classes in the shop to teach you to make them for future too :)
