Hampshire Curtain Makers was founded by Penny Gregory — and if you spend five minutes with Penny, you will understand exactly why she started it.

Penny has spent decades of her career working in soft furnishings, building a depth of knowledge that extends from the technical — the geometry of a complex heading, the behaviour of different fabrics, the exacting demands of period windows — to something harder to teach: knowing, almost immediately, what a room needs and how a window should be dressed.

​

She founded Hampshire Curtain Makers because she believed there was a better way to do this. Not faster, not cheaper — better. Closer to the client, more considered with the fabric, more honest about what would work and what would not. That conviction has never changed.

​

The team

Penny leads a core team of highly experienced curtain makers, each with several years of specialist experience in hand-finished soft furnishings. When project demand requires it, that team is joined by additional skilled makers who share the same standards.

This is a practice built to the right scale: attentive enough that no detail is overlooked, and capable enough to take on substantial commissions without compromise. Every project, whatever its size, receives the same level of care.

​

We are based in Hampshire and work across the south of England — typically Hampshire, Surrey, Dorset, West Sussex and Wiltshire. For whole-house projects, we are glad to work further afield, and have done so for clients and designers who value continuity of quality wherever their properties are situated.
