Curtains are where most Kolkata homes start, and where our consultants spend the most time getting the details right — fabric weight, fullness, header style, and how the curtain works with the light in your room across the day.

Choosing the Right Fabric

Lighter cotton and linen-look fabrics let daylight filter through while still giving privacy, and suit living rooms and dining spaces. Heavier weaves and blackout-backed fabrics block glare and heat more completely, which is what we usually recommend for bedrooms and media rooms.

Fullness and Header Style

• Pleated headers — a structured, tailored look that holds its shape.
• Eyelet or ripple-fold — a cleaner, more contemporary drape.
• Double fullness — using more fabric width per track for a richer, more luxurious fall.

Our consultants will recommend fullness and header style based on your track or rod, ceiling height, and the look you’re going for — formal, casual, or somewhere in between.

Curtains Paired with Blinds

A combination we fit often: a Roman or roller blind close to the glass for daily light control, with curtains layered outside for softness, warmth, and a finished look in the evening. If you’re deciding between the two, our Roman blinds guide covers when a fabric blind makes more sense on its own.

How Avikar Makes and Fits Your Curtains

• Speak to a consultant on WhatsApp or visit the showroom at 46 Central Avenue.
• Browse 500+ fabric samples in-store or at your home.
• We send a technician for inch-perfect, in-home measurements.
• Your curtains are stitched and finished in our own workshop.
• Our fitters install the track or rod and hang the curtains — no guesswork on your end.

This is the same process we use across our curtains and blinds, refined over decades of fitting Kolkata homes since 1971.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much fabric do I need for full curtains?

It depends on your track width and chosen fullness — typically 1.5 to 2.5 times the track width. Our consultant calculates this precisely during your in-home measurement.

Can I get blackout curtains?

Yes, we stock blackout-backed fabric and can also add a separate blackout lining behind most of our curtain fabrics.

How long does custom stitching take?

Curtains are stitched in our own workshop after your in-home measurement and are typically ready within a few days; our consultant will confirm exact timing based on fabric and order size.
