Curtain Fabric & Upholstery Fabric by the Metre

Our home fabrics collection features Freedom Tree's by-the-metre range for curtains, blinds, upholstery and general furnishing projects. It spans four main categories: Sheer Fabric for light, translucent curtains; Cotton Fabric for printed and solid cotton in standard furnishing weights; Heavy Fabrics for structured drapes, upholstery and blinds; and Solid Textures Fabrics for plain weaves and subtle textures.

Original Prints for Every Room

All Freedom Tree home fabrics are designed in-house. The print range covers florals, geometrics, tropical motifs, abstract compositions and classic stripes — with new designs added each season. Browse Fabric Swatches to see the current range in hand before ordering.

For Custom Curtains & Stitching

Buying fabric by the metre gives you full control over curtain length, pleat style and lining. All Freedom Tree fabrics are suitable for professional curtain making. We recommend consulting a curtain maker for quantities based on your window dimensions and chosen pleat style. Our design team can also help — free consultations available in any of our stores.

Also Available: Upholstery Fabrics

For sofa and chair fabrics, see the Upholstery Fabric range — which includes additional prints and textured materials (velvet, tweed, raffia and cotton weaves).

Frequently Asked Questions about Home Fabrics


What is the difference between home fabrics and upholstery fabric?

Home fabrics is a broader category of furnishing fabric that includes lighter-weight fabrics designed for curtains, cushion covers, bed covers and decorative soft furnishings. Upholstery fabric is a home fabric that is heavier and more tightly woven, designed to withstand the friction and pressure of upholstered furniture. Each product page specifies the recommended use.

Can home fabrics be used to make curtains at home?

Yes. Our curtain-weight home fabrics can be sewn into curtains at by your tailor or by ours. We can suggest a lining if you prefer black-out conditions — it improves drape, protects the fabric from UV fading and can improve the finished appearance.

How much fabric do I need for a pair of curtains?

For a standard window (120cm wide), allow for fabric that is 2–2.5 times the track width for good fullness — approximately 240–300cm in width. Add the drop length plus 20–25cm for hems and headings. For patterned fabrics, allow extra for pattern matching — approximately one pattern repeat per length. See our detailed curtain guide or contact us for help with measurements.

Are your home fabrics pre-washed and pre-shrunk?

Our digitally printed fabrics undergo processing to minimise shrinkage, but some natural shrinkage may occur on first washing with screen printed and loose weave solid fabrics. We recommend washing curtains and cushion covers before making them up if you intend to wash them later, or leave an extra measure in the hem in case shrinkage occurs after the first wash. Specific care instructions are listed on each product page.

Do you offer fabric by the half metre?

We sell fabric by the metre, with a minimum order of one metre. If you need a smaller quantity for a specific project, contact our team — we may be able to accommodate smaller cuts depending on current stock.
