Puddling refers to the practice of designing your custom curtains with extra fabric length so that they gather softly on the floor. This style creates a relaxed, elegant, and luxurious look. At Tranquility and Grace, we recommend puddling when using eco-friendly, sustainable curtain fabrics that drape beautifully and naturally.

Benefits of puddling:

- Adds a sophisticated, layered feel

- Enhances energy efficiency by helping to block drafts

- Works well with both traditional and modern interior styles

- Creates soft, insulating folds for improved heat protection and solar protection

When planning your custom curtain design, we’ll help you decide whether puddling is right for your space and fabric choice — balancing beauty with practicality.

Linen is one of our favourite choices for custom curtains — it’s a beautiful, eco-friendly, sustainable fabric that brings warmth, texture, and softness to your home. But did you know that linen is also a breathable natural fibre, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air? As a result, the length of your linen curtains can subtly change with the humidity in your space. For this reason, we often recommend incorporating puddling — a soft pooling of fabric at the floor — into the design of your custom curtains.

Benefits of puddling with linen:

- Disguises natural length variation

- Maintains an elegant appearance year-round

- Complements the relaxed look of linen

- Enhances energy-efficient and heat-protective layering around windows

A common misconception is that metallised blinds must be dark or blockout — but that’s not the case with Verosol Metallised Blinds. Verosol offers its high-performance metallised technology across a range of fabric transparencies: Transparent, Semi-transparent, Translucent & Blockout.

This allows you to customise your indoor blind solution depending on your needs for light, privacy, and energy efficiency.

It’s a common question — and a very fair one. The reason custom curtains typically cost more than custom blinds, even when made from the same fabric, comes down to materials and labour.

1. More fabric required

2. More complex manufacturing

3. More involved installation

Ultimately, while both custom curtains and custom blinds provide beautiful, energy-efficient, eco-friendly window solutions, curtains require a greater investment of both fabric and craftsmanship.
