In my recent post, How to Hang Curtains Like an Interior Designer, I explored the steps behind choosing the right curtains—and why bringing in a curtain expert is often essential. But here’s something just as important: when an interior designer and curtain professional work together from the start, the result is not just technically correct, but aesthetically seamless.
Curtain specialists understand hardware, materials, and installation details; designers see the bigger picture—ensuring that each curtain decision complements the spatial layout, proportions, textures, and lighting of the room. When you bring both perspectives together early, you avoid disconnects and get a result that feels effortless, not improvised.
These two real-life examples show how working in tandem with Avaeksperdid helped refine and elevate the outcome.
Example 1: design fix aka how Avaeksperdid helped fine-tune curtain details
Once carpets were added to a previously finished room, the curtains suddenly looked too low and felt visually off. Avaeksperdid came by, assessed the space holistically, and recommended some alterations. They provided new, precise measurements—which revealed I needed more fabric for the upgraded solution. While for my initial curtain plan the amount had worked, I now gladly got more material to make the new polished look shine. As a bonus thanks to this consultation we also changed to curved-end curtain rails. Even with curtains already installed, their input helped recalibrate everything to complete the room.
Example 2: from concept to curtains aka a streamlined home design collaboration
In a Nõmme home project, I collaborated with Avaeksperdid curtain company early on. After learning the client’s needs and refining options that suited the design concept, I passed a curated shortlist to the curtain pros. They then met the client with this focused selection, simplifying decisions and ensuring results that matched the overall design. Acting as the go-between made the whole process quicker and more cohesive.
Kätri Rinaldo, project manager at Avaeksperdid, emphasizes how essential early collaboration can be:
“We’re happy to get involved as early as the design phase, particularly when it comes to planning for different window treatments and motorized systems. This helps ensure the preparations are done right from the beginning. Later in the process, we work with the client either in our showroom or on-site to finalize material selections and discuss the details of the final solution. Just as every project is different, so is every collaboration. We always adapt to find the most effective and pleasant way to work together.”
Interior designer takeaway: curtains should never be an afterthought
When curtain planning starts too late—or without a designer’s oversight—solutions can feel like disconnected add-ons. As an interior designer, I help translate your overall concept into clear decisions before handing it over to a curtain expert like Avaeksperdid. This synergy ensures that technical details don’t undermine visual consistency. That’s how thoughtful spaces come together—where even the curtains feel intentional.
