Why the right curtain matters

Curtains do more than dress up a window. They affect privacy, how much heat and sunlight enters the room, and the overall mood of the space. Different rooms have different needs — so the right curtain depends on where it's going.

Bedrooms

Blackout curtains help you sleep better, especially on hot Ipoh afternoons.

Living rooms

Light-filtering curtains soften daylight without making the room too dark.

Small spaces

Lighter colours make condos and small rooms feel more open.

West-facing windows

Higher blackout % helps reduce heat from the strong afternoon sun.

Curtain types & heading styles

The heading style is the top part of the curtain — it changes how the fabric folds, how it looks when closed, and how easy it is to open and close.

Eyelet

Creates smooth, uniform folds and slides easily on the curtain rod.

Bedrooms, condos, family rooms

Blackout curtains

Blackout curtains — what to know

Blackout curtains block light using denser materials or a special lining. They're useful for bedrooms, TV rooms, and any space where you want better light control.

  • Different blackout percentages — from partial to near-full
  • Helps reduce heat from direct sunlight
  • Better sleep in bedrooms, less glare in TV rooms
  • Some customers prefer partial blackout to keep a softer feel

ED Shop carries different blackout materials so you can compare them in person before deciding.

Ready-made vs custom made curtains

Both have their place. Here's how they compare so you can pick what fits your home and budget.

Ready-made

  • Faster — available immediately
  • Budget-friendly
  • Standard sizes & designs
  • Best for: rentals, standard windows, quick needs

Custom made

  • Made to your exact window size
  • Wider material & colour selection
  • Better drape & appearance
  • Suits odd-sized or extra-tall windows

ED Shop carries both — many homes mix ready-made for some rooms and custom made for the main living and bedroom spaces.

Curtain options for different budgets

You don't need to spend a lot to get curtains that look good. We carry a range of fabrics from budget-friendly options to premium designer materials, so you can choose what suits each room.

Entry

Budget-friendly

Lighter fabrics, simple finishes — good for budgets and secondary rooms.

Mid-range

Mid-range Comfort

Heavier weaves and more colour options. Common choice for living rooms.

Premium

Designer fabrics

Premium textures and finishes for main rooms and feature windows.

Many customers mix budget fabrics in spare rooms with nicer fabrics where guests see them. We'll help you plan it during measurement.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between blackout and sheer curtains?

+

Sheer curtains are made from light, semi-transparent fabric that filters daylight and softens harsh sunlight while still letting the room feel bright. They give daytime privacy but very little night privacy. Blackout curtains use denser woven fabric or a special coated lining to block most of the light coming through the window — they're heavier, give full privacy day and night, and help reduce heat. Many homes in Ipoh use both: a sheer for daytime and a blackout layer behind it for sleep, TV viewing, or hot afternoons.

Which curtain type is best for reducing heat in Ipoh?

+

For Ipoh's hot afternoon sun, a high-blackout curtain in a denser fabric works best — especially on west-facing windows. Look for blackout percentages of 90% and above, or curtains with a thermal/UV-reflective lining. Pairing a sheer day curtain with a heavier blackout curtain behind also helps: you can keep the room bright in the morning and pull the blackout layer during the hottest part of the day to cut heat and glare significantly.

How do I choose the right curtain colour?

+

As a general guide: lighter colours (cream, beige, soft grey) make small rooms and condos feel larger and brighter, while deeper colours (charcoal, deep green, warm brown) add warmth and work well in larger living rooms or bedrooms where you want a cosier feel. Try to pick a colour that complements your sofa, wall paint, or flooring rather than matching exactly. If you're unsure, bring a photo of your room to the showroom — we'll hold fabric samples against your colour scheme so you can see how they look in real lighting.

Can you help recommend curtains based on my room photo?

+

Yes. Send us a photo of your window and room on WhatsApp and let us know the room type (bedroom, living room, etc.), which direction the window faces, and roughly your budget. We'll suggest suitable fabric types, blackout levels, colour tones, and heading styles before you visit the showroom — so when you come in, you're choosing between options that already suit your space.

What curtain heading style is most popular in modern homes?

+

For modern homes and newer condos, ripple fold and eyelet styles are the most popular — both give a clean, contemporary look with even folds. Pinch pleat is a strong choice if you want something more tailored and premium. French pleat remains popular for traditional or classic interiors. The 'right' style really depends on your ceiling height, window width, and how minimal vs. decorative you want the top of the curtain to look.

Are custom curtains worth it compared to ready-made curtains?

+

For your main living room and master bedroom, custom-made curtains are usually worth it — they're cut to your exact window size, drape better, and give you access to a much wider range of fabrics, colours, and heading styles. Ready-made curtains are great for spare rooms, rentals, kitchens, or quick needs because they're cheaper and available immediately. Many of our customers mix both: custom for the rooms guests see most, and ready-made for secondary spaces.

Do you have curtain options for different budgets?

+

Yes. We carry a wide range of fabrics — from budget-friendly ready-made curtains that suit spare rooms and rentals, to mid-range options with better drape and colour selection for living rooms, and premium designer fabrics for main rooms and feature windows. Many customers mix budgets across rooms, using nicer fabrics where guests see them and more affordable options elsewhere.

Do you provide installation service in Ipoh?

+

Yes. Installation is included in our pricing for the Ipoh area — we handle the curtain track or rod, brackets, and hanging the curtains properly so they sit and drape correctly. Our installers will also check the alignment, length, and fullness on site to make sure everything looks right before they leave.

How long does curtain measurement and installation take?

+

Free measurement at your home usually takes 20–30 minutes per room, and we can often arrange it within a few days. Once you confirm the fabric and style, custom curtains typically take around 1–2 weeks to make, depending on scheduling and festive seasons. Installation itself usually takes 1–2 hours per window area. Ready-made curtains can be taken home the same day if the size you need is in stock.

How do I measure my windows for curtains?

+

For the most accurate fit, measure the width and height of your window, then allow extra space on both sides for better light coverage and appearance. If you're unsure, our team can arrange a free measurement service and recommend the most suitable curtain solution for your home.

Do you have lace curtains?

+

Yes. We offer lace curtains in various styles and materials — often paired with a blackout curtain layer for daytime softness and night-time privacy.
