Curtains, cushions & upholstery

Tailor Cape Town have been covering cushions and making curtains for decades, transforming dowdy rooms into dream homes with drapes that hang beautifully. Experience and perfectly straight seams have positioned us as the first stop for these bulky or gauzy fabrics.

We can advise on curtain lengths, pleating and gathering, and how best to hang them.

If you think the shape of your cushions is too tricky for re-covering, try us! Sun lounger mattresses and patio cushions? With pleasure.

Roman or fabric blinds are our forte. Perfect for a window or door where flapping curtains get tangled in the wind, and a clever way to echo your décor, lend privacy or open onto a lovely view.

Do you wish you knew a lovely old man who could upholster your lovely old wing-back? Ask us!
