[quote=Anonymous]There’s nothing wrong with curtains from Pottery barn. The main disadvantages are limited fabric selection, they only come in a few lengths, they typically don’t have interlining (the felt-like layer in the middle that makes them look beefy and hang pretty) and they don’t have nice pleats are the top. They’re not pleated because they’re just one width of fabric, although I know some of them come in a double width. If you pleat them yourself they’re not going to be functional any more except on a pretty small window. You’ll have to cheat the stack to the inside to make them close and that will make your window look smaller and block light. My custom drapes for most of our windows (which are about 32” across iirc) are 1.5 widths. I like pattern on drapes and I like the cohesion of having related fabrics for upholstery, accessories etc. You can do that with Pottery Barn but I think you’d need to start with the drapes and design around them, the way people often do with a rug. I’d be much more likely to use store panels in a room where I wanted white cotton or something but once you do a double width, pleat them and whatever it’s not that much cheaper and I didn’t get to use a Sunbrella or Perennials fabric or add a pretty tape.
