I haven't used net curtains for many years now and, to be honest, the last place I did buy some was from a charity shop. Try your local ones first. Failing that, do Amazon sell such things? I've no idea where they can now be bought and I haven't seen any hanging from windows for a long time either.

Maybe one of the other ladies on here will be able to help.

Step into 2025 Peter and get blinds, There are all sorts of different patterns, horizonal, vertical, roll up and Tonker is a ' master craftsman' in this field, although he's retired and sold his business, he will still have contacts and good advice,,,, Probably

Tom the nets are for the living room window which is lower than the footpath.The window is wedge shaped approx 9ft long and 4ft drop also side window approx 20" x 4ft drop. I had to curve the curtain rail round the top of the window recess so no room for blinds,I don't like sitting in a goldfish bowl hence the net curtain to stop people looking in during the day

I think maybe indoor markets might be your best bet. Although I don't think Wigan, although it maybe worth a look. I don't remember the last time I bought nets.
I, like many others, prefer blinds.

Peter, both the Range and Dunelm stock lace curtains.

You are quite right hollyh. I do remember seeing them. I had forgotten all about Range.

I'm not a lover of blinds as they are dust magnets and they make a home look like a commercial premises office from the exterior. And in winter, they look cold.

I prefer the good old curtains anyday

I was in teh Range last week and I went to the tills and all 4 or 5 of them were closed and the exit door was locked as well, so I made mt way back to there front dest and was told that I had to pay for stuff there now, and I had to go out the way I had come in through the no exit door.
I don't think they will be open much longer.
