Custom Curtains in Morjim: Bespoke Designs & Local Expertise

Most of Morjim shuts for the monsoon, and its curtains should be chosen with that closed season in mind. They need to come down easily, wash, dry completely and spend the wet months folded in a ventilated room without smelling when they are rehung. Unlined or detachable-lined polyester blends manage this; thick interlined curtains do not. Eyelet headings on aluminium rods are the quickest to take down across a resort or a row of guest rooms. During the season the place is open to both the sea and the Chapora river mouth, so salt and blown sand reach the fabric: hang hems above the floor, use nylon gliders or stainless rings, and keep to mid-tones that hide marks.

• Resort bedrooms near the beach: washable eyelet curtains with a separate blackout lining, both taken down and stored dry before the rains.
• Villas let through the winter: sheers plus lined curtains on a double aluminium track, in mid-tones that stand repeated washing.
• Guest-house rooms: plain pinch-pleat curtains in washable polyester, with a blackout lining so winter visitors can sleep on after sunrise.
