Room Story: Kids rooms and Master Bed, North London

Client: Private Homeowner, North London
Location: North London

A North London family approached us to fit window treatments throughout their newly renovated home, working alongside their interior designer to bring together style and practicality in the children's rooms and the master bedroom. The project involved Roman blinds with decorative pelmets for two children's rooms, voile blinds for light filtering, and a custom bent-on-site dual track system in the master bedroom bay window — dressed with voile and blackout curtains finished with a luxurious cut velvet trim.

Challenges

Creating a Fun, Child-Friendly Look: The children's rooms needed window treatments that were both practical and playful — stylish enough to complement the wider interior scheme, with enough personality to feel genuinely right for a child's room.

Custom Track Installation: The master bedroom's large bay window required a dual-track system bent on-site to follow the exact geometry of the bay — one track for the voile, one for the blackout curtain, both fitting perfectly within the recess.

High-End Finishing Details: The client wanted premium materials with distinctive decorative touches that would sit comfortably alongside the home's overall quality of finish.

Solutions

Children's Rooms — Roman Blinds with Decorative Pelmets: We selected classic Roman blinds in fabrics that coordinated with each room's colour scheme, then designed custom pelmets with vibrant contrast borders to bring a lively, considered finish to the windows. The blinds adjust easily for natural light during the day and full privacy when needed.

Master Bedroom — Bent-On-Site Dual Tracks: Our installation team bent the tracks on-site to follow the bay window's exact curve, ensuring a tailored, seamless result. A sheer voile curtain provides daytime privacy and soft light diffusion, while a blackout curtain finished with a cut velvet trim adds warmth and a quietly luxurious touch that works with the room's furnishings.

Precision Installation Throughout: From perfectly aligned pelmets in the children's rooms to the precisely fitted tracks and trimmed curtains in the master bedroom, every element was measured and installed with care. We coordinated with the family to work at times that minimised disruption to the household.

Results

Playful and Elegant: The children's rooms now have window treatments that are fun and functional in equal measure. The master bedroom has the sense of quiet luxury the client was looking for — the velvet trim in particular drew praise for elevating what could have been a straightforward curtain into something genuinely special.

Perfect Fit Throughout: The custom installations — particularly the bent-on-site bay tracks — ensured a flawless result in every room, with nothing that looked off-the-shelf or approximated.

Client Satisfaction: The family were delighted, particularly with the decorative details — the pelmet borders in the children's rooms and the velvet trim in the master bedroom — which gave the whole project a bespoke quality that felt personal to their home.

Conclusion

This North London project is a good example of how the same house can contain very different briefs — a playful children's room and a refined master bedroom — and how the right window treatment, made and fitted specifically for each space, pulls the whole home together.
