"At Burrow & Fern, we offer a service tailored to the differing needs of both homeowners and interior designers. Whether you're looking to transform your home or require a professional measure and/or make-up service for your design projects, we are here to help.

For homeowners, we begin the process with an initial consultation to discuss your needs, show you fabric options, and take precise measurements. Whether you’re looking for a contemporary or classic style, we help you choose the right fabric and hardware, from elegant poles to discreet tracks. Our professional fitter ensures your curtains and blinds are installed with skill, delivering a polished finish that enhances your space.

For interior designers, we offer either a specialised make-up service, working with the fabrics and measurements you provide, or a full-service option where we collaborate closely with you. This includes helping you select fabrics, taking measurements, and handling the fitting. Regardless of which service you choose, we ensure that your vision is realised with the highest level of craftsmanship, paying close attention to every detail to deliver exactly what you require.

In both cases, our goal is to exceed expectations, delivering custom-made window treatments that are both beautiful and functional. Whether it’s a classic design or a simple look, we are committed to providing a high-quality service that results in window treatments that you or your client will love for years to come."
