Curtains in Shadman Lahore for Older Homes, Measured and Fitted

Curtains for older homes with tall windows and ventilators

Our curtains in Shadman Lahore are planned around older rooms with tall windows and ventilators. We measure at the house, stitch to those sizes and hang the curtains on the day agreed.

Shadman Colony stands on part of the land that once held the government complex around the Lahore Central Jail, bounded by Jail Road, the canal, Ferozepur Road and Mozang Chungi, according to a Dawn history column. Today it is a central, long-established neighbourhood next to Services Hospital, and many houses here are decades old.

Ventilators above windows and doors

Older houses often have a roshandan, a small ventilator window, above the main window or door. Before we measure, we ask whether you want the curtain to cover it. If yes, the rod goes above the ventilator and the drop is measured from there, which gives a taller, fuller curtain. If not, the rod sits between the two and the ventilator stays open for air.

Wooden frames and old fittings

Older wooden window frames and walls may still have tracks, hook rails or thin rods. Eyelet rings need a round rod of normal thickness to slide along. We check each fitting during the visit and tell you before you order what will work.

Sets for formal rooms and bedrooms

Drawing rooms in older homes usually have high ceilings and dark wood furniture. Monogram velvet or embossed velvet sits well in such a room, and a four piece set adds white chiffon behind the velvet for daytime light. This needs space for two rods or a double bracket. Bedrooms suit a two panel laser cut or plain velvet set on one rod. Monogram and laser cut sets are listed under fancy curtains.

A central location, quick to reach

Common questions

Should the curtain cover the roshandan above the window?

It is your choice. Covering it gives a taller curtain and a darker room; leaving it open keeps air moving.

Do eyelet curtains work with old wooden frames?

Yes, as long as there is a round rod. We check every fitting during the visit and tell you what to replace.

Which curtains suit a room with dark wood furniture?

Monogram or embossed velvet in a deep colour, with white chiffon behind for daytime light.
