Why Architects, Designers and Homeowners Trust Redgraves Home Fabrics
Proven expertise across projects
Redgraves has been crafting made-to-measure curtains, blinds, upholstery and soft furnishings since 1958, giving architects and designers confidence that complex briefs are understood and executed correctly. Our portfolio spans heritage restorations, modern builds, apartments and commercial spaces.
Professionals value this depth of experience because it reduces risk around specification, fabrication tolerances and on-site installation—especially on architecturally driven projects where window treatments must align with recesses, pockets and bespoke joinery details.
Design-led, collaborative process
Redgraves puts a strong emphasis on collaborative design: in‑home consultations, showroom appointments, and close coordination with architects, builders and interior designers.
Key aspects that build trust in Redgraves to deliver include:
- In‑home and on‑site consultations where consultants study architecture, light, proportions and lifestyle before recommending fabrics and systems.
- A Textile Gallery & Showroom that curates leading local and international fabrics, helping professionals and homeowners make informed, design-led choices efficiently.
- Regular collaboration with design and construction professionals on both residential and commercial projects, highlighted in project features such as “Heritage Restorations & Modern Builds”.
End-to-End quality and installation
Trust is reinforced by Redgraves managing the full journey: measure, design, fabrication and professional installation.
Important assurances for architects and designers include:
- All curtains, blinds and shutters are custom made to exact window dimensions, supporting the precise lines and proportions required in architecturally detailed homes and fitouts.
- Installations are carried out by Redgraves’ own professional installers not contractors, ensuring that the design intent and technical requirements are carried through on site.
- Smart-home-ready solutions, including motorised blinds and integrated systems, are supported by specialist advice, making Redgraves a reliable partner on technology-forward projects.
Consistent results and strong client feedback
Testimonials on the Redgraves profile highlight responsive service, excellent communication and pride in workmanship—key decision factors for both professionals and homeowners.

For architects and designers, this feedback signals a supplier who:
- Protects their reputation by delivering consistently high-quality outcomes.
- Understands the expectations of Architectural and Design-level projects, including documentation, scheduling and site coordination.
