Fabrics

When it comes to decorating a home, buying fabrics and choosing the right ones can be one of the key elements in creating a personal, unique space where we feel comfortable and truly at home. Our home should be a place where we feel at ease and in perfect harmony. These qualities define the very meaning of the word “home”: the place we always want to return to.

One of the best ways to create unique spaces within your home is by carefully selecting textiles, particularly fabrics ideal for upholstery and for making curtains, cushions and more. Of course, you also have the option of ordering made-to-measure curtains, which you can configure easily using our curtain calculator.

The Best Made-to-Measure Fabrics (Sold by the Metre)

Configuring your own made-to-measure fabrics is an excellent solution for rooms that require specific dimensions which are often outside standard measurements. For example, curtain fabrics sold by the metre are ideal for achieving the desired result, especially if you prioritise fabric quality over design alone. What truly guarantees good functionality is the fabric composition.

Among the made-to-measure fabrics by the metre at D&Y, and our customers’ favourites, you will find a wide range of fabrics by style. Some of the most popular options include:

- Cotton fabrics by the metre

Cotton is perfect for any space. Cotton fabrics offer excellent drape thanks to the natural fibres used in their manufacture, as cotton is derived from plant-based fibres.

Cotton fabrics provide a softness that other textiles cannot match. Many customers choose cotton curtains for their durability and high resistance.

- Linen fabrics by the metre

Linen fabrics are a favourite for many due to their relaxed style. The unique characteristics of linen give curtains a chic and original feel. Linen is also made from natural fibres and is a very lightweight and elegant fabric, but it requires specific care. For this reason, linen curtains should be cleaned by professionals in specialised dry cleaners to preserve their quality.

- Polyester curtain fabrics by the metre

The most popular fabrics on the market are those made from polyester. This is a highly durable material, which makes it especially appealing to customers. Polyester is very practical, as it can be washed in a standard washing machine.

- Made-to-measure linen and polyester fabrics

A very common blend in interior design. These fabrics are known as “blends” because they combine linen and polyester. This allows you to retain durability while gaining practicality, as these curtain fabrics crease less than pure linen and can be washed at home, just like polyester curtain fabrics.

As you can see, fabrics are one of the decorative elements that most strongly influence and transform the overall look of a home. Browse our catalogue to buy fabrics online.
