Timeless Curtain Look Alert: How Custom Curtains Elevated My Primary Bedroom

By Aleksandra Newquist

Moving into your own first house is definitely an unforgettable milestone and a huge accomplishment. However, most people would agree that moving is stressful, regardless of how excited and proud you might be that you are finally a homeowner and moving into your own space. It is during this time that many homeowners start to feel overwhelmed with the pressure of making their space look and feel like home as soon as possible which often leads to endless inspiration pictures on your phone, constant search for that perfect piece of furniture, and countless trips to the home decor stores in hopes to find pieces that truly reflect who you are.

One Thing at a Time

When it came to decorating my first home, I approached it one room at a time, and when it was finally time to tackle our primary bedroom, I knew I wanted it to feel warm, cozy, and retreat like. It was our dream for that space to feel like our own oasis of peace and comfort where we can relax, have a restful night of sleep, and feel excited and energized when we wake up. Ready for a spoiler alert? One thing that made the biggest impact on our primary bedroom and helped us achieve that oasis like look and feel was custom curtains from TWOPAGES. They completely transformed our space and turned it into a calm sanctuary that we simply do not want to leave!

Love at First Sight

Honestly, now when I walk into our primary bedroom it is hard to believe that I am in the same space. We started with bare walls, and hoped that furniture, a nice carpet, and some builder grade blinds would do it, but we soon realized that something was missing. Instead of that feeling of peace and serenity we hoped to get the moment we step into our bedroom, we felt the opposite. It simply did not feel cozy nor warm and welcoming. The worst part was the fact that we could not get a good night of sleep since those generic blinds did not block enough morning sunlight and streetlights at night. That is when we decided to add custom curtains and after a lot of research, I discovered TWOPAGES customer curtain collection, and it was love at first sight!

TWOPAGES Custom Curtains Love First Sight

The Formula for Success

From the moment I first browsed their website, I felt inspired and hopeful that adding the right curtains might finally make our bedroom feel warm and cozy. I was impressed with how many fabric options they had – from breezy and timeless linens to plush velvets and classic cottons, they are sure to meet and exceed everyone’s custom drapey expectations! Not only that, but they also have many different hanging header styles (my absolute favorite is triple pleat), types of lining, memory shape option (highly recommend!), and many more ways to add a custom touch to your curtains and make them feel yours! It would be an understatement to say that the customization process was seamless. I used their Measurement Finder tool on their website to get the exact measurements I wanted for my space, and once I determined what fabric and color I like best, it only took me a few minutes to place my order which made the whole process so easy and hassle free. I selected a stunning, thermal blackout lining with a timeless linen fabric in a gorgeous Burlywood Birch color with an elegant matching tieback, triple pleat hanging header style, and I said yes to memory training. If you ask me, that is the formula for success! When the curtains arrived, they did not disappoint! They beautifully complemented our bedroom's neutral color palette and helped us create that timeless, polished yet serine custom look at an affordable price. Just like that our primary bedroom went from feeling unfinished to looking like a peaceful retreat we dreamed about from the moment we bought our house.

Concluding Thoughts

Custom touches can make a huge positive impact on any space, and with the right choices, they have the power to take your home from ordinary to beyond extraordinary. Also, if you are in market for curtains, just know that investing in custom drapery will not only elevate your space, but it can also improve the quality of your life by allowing you to get much needed good night of sleep so that you can wake up ready to conquer all things life might throw at you.

ABOUT WRITER

Perfect ambience

Just the right curtains I was looking for, blocked all the light but lets the sun shine on the wall and ceiling a bit. The other curtains I had blocked only 75% of the light.

The material feels high quality and durable.

The only thing I need to do now is get them steamed so they look uniform.

Very fast shipping, came 2 days early. The turn around time from manufacturing to shipping wasn’t long either.

Love them but not true blackout

I was very excited to get these and love how they look with my kids rooms. Unfortunately, the way they are sewn together allows for a lot of light to get through. I ordered the blackout lining hoping I wouldn’t need to close the curtains but as you can see, the seams are super bright.

Sag at the end

They look nice but when they get to the edge of the recommended length they clearly sag at the ends, even without curtains. Not worth $75

Hello! Regarding the drooping issue you mentioned, it may be related to the installation method or the characteristics of the track itself. If you need any assistance or advice, feel free to contact support@twopagescurtains.com, and our customer service team will do their best to resolve the issue for you.

Great shades!

We love our Twopages Cinnamon Natural Jute Bamboo Woven Shade. The true color is a bit darker than photos depicted online but I got the sample booklet and anticipated that. I do really like it.

Amazing Workmanship and Embroidered Trim!

Two Pages has upped their game. My drapes came in a lovely branded zipper bags with a lovely message inside. Delivery was so quick! I have over a dozen curtains in my home from Two Pages. I recently upgraded my Isabella Paper White curtains in my living room to Isabella Paper White with R31 Trim. Oh my goodness- GORGEOUS!!! Firstly, my original Paper White drapes had a blue tinge to them, a very stark white. Which was fine, but I don’t know if they changed the sourcing, but the Paper White colour is now a lovely True clean white that is more soft, I LOVE the white. The R31 trim sample that I ordered in advance, also matched the trim tape on the curtains. Customer service was good to confirm with my enquiry that the sample did indeed match, as the website colour depicted was a bit different. It is a stunning sky blue (not aqua like the website picture). Moreover the workmanship and specifically how the tape was sewn onto the drape, was straight and aligned nicely with the thread. I was nervous when I ordered, because I saw a review where you could see that the sewing had gone outside of the lines and looked sub par; but I can assure you, the trim tape is sewn on beautifully. I plan to order Jawara Pink with Q21 or K61 next; which will make it 20 pairs of drapes from Two Pages that I own, LOL. The trim tape itself is such good quality, wide and stunningly embroidered. They rival designer named ones. I WISH I could order the trim tape itself so that I can add it to a throw pillow and at the bottom of my slip covered dining chairs, to coordinate the rooms. My style is Modern French Country I would say. Thank you Two Pages for my exquisite drapes

Obsessed with this texture!

Love how our shade turned out in both texture and color! It compliments our creamy white trim and oak floors perfectly!

Excellent curtains

I ordered the custom Liz linen curtains for my living room and dining room. Got the lightest liner as recommended by customer service because I was worried about fading of the curtain. Color is burlywood birch. They are beautiful curtains. The hook thats included makes them adjustable in height so you can make them longer or shorter as needed. Will definitely order again.

Good rod

Simple and elegant. Husband said it was sturdy and the screws were good quality. The reason why I gave it fours stars is because the color was off between different pieces.

So elegant

I just love how these curtains look in our dining room. They go perfectly with the wool rug under the table. I got the pinch pleated drapes from the Liz Collection in color Pale Aqua Blue with memory training and no lining. One thing I do think is important is to order the swatch first in order to have an idea what an actual color would look like. The curtain color looks exactly like the swatch but is different from the color online. The one online looks more green. So, do spend the $5 on the swatch and you will not be disappointed.
