@spicinghomes: BEFORE YOU BUY – EPISODE 3 “MY CLIENT LAUGHED WHEN SHE SAW HER CURTAIN INVOICE… UNTIL I EXPLAINED THIS.” My client was genuinely shocked when I shared the invoice for her curtains—it was well over UGX 10 million. You know that kind of laugh people give when they’re in complete disbelief? The kind that says, “There’s no way curtains can cost this much!” That was her reaction. So we got on a call, and I explained something most homeowners don’t know about buying curtains. The price you see in a showroom is usually the cost of one metre of fabric, not the cost of your finished curtains. To achieve those beautiful, full, luxurious curtains you see in well-designed homes, the fabric is multiplied—often two to three times the width of your window. The fuller you want your curtains to look, the more fabric you’ll need. Then there’s the height. Floor-to-ceiling curtains require more fabric than short curtains, which increases the overall cost. And that’s not all. You’re also paying for the lining, stitching, heading style or eyelets, curtain rods, accessories, and professional installation. By the end of our conversation, she completely understood where the cost was coming from. She was no longer shocked by the invoice because she understood the value behind it. So before you say curtains are cheap or expensive, ask about the multiplication first. Understanding how curtains are measured and priced will help you budget wisely and make informed decisions before you buy.
