Default not to expensive curtains?

Hello Everyone,

Anyone have a idea where to buy curtains/blinds which are not to expensive. Im not planning to stay for that long in my new appartment and as such i don't want to spend to much on it. (or at least more than needed)

Any ideas?

Thanks

1. Do a search
2. When you do the above, the answers will be DragonMart and Ikea.
3. Good Luck.

Good places to try are IKEA and Home Centre (main branch is in MoE, but they have stores in various malls across the city).

Ikea will make made to measure curtains here. The maintenance guys in our building will do things like put up curtain rails, hang pictures etc for a small charge. Not sure where you live but might be worth asking.

IKEA do 'ready made' curtains as well as made to measure ones.

ikea has some ready made curtains (mostly the kind that goes on a pole) and they can cut them for you if needed.

they also have a selection of fabrics in case you don't like what they have ready made, or if you need them to have hooks (i.e. if you already have a curtail rail installed)

I got some curtains from them a few months ago for my living room - not super cheap (around 700dhs) but cheaper than getting them custom done for sure.

Just had vertical blinds made at a place called 'BestFull Curtains' at Dragonmart. I installed them myself but they offer installation for a fee.

Look for secondhand curtains as they might fit your appartment. With so many people moving all the time, there are loads available at very low prices.
