Martin Lewis’s Money-Saving Curtain Trick
As a financial journalist dedicated to helping readers achieve financial freedom, I am always on the lookout for innovative money-saving tips. Recently, renowned financial expert Martin Lewis shared a brilliant suggestion for homeowners looking to spruce up their living spaces without breaking the bank.
Lewis advises homeowners to purchase curtains that are one-and-a-half times the width of their windows, as opposed to the more traditional two or three times width often recommended by stores. This simple adjustment can lead to significant cost savings, especially when investing in curtains with thermal or blackout linings that not only last longer but also provide better insulation for homes.
According to Homehow, the average cost of fitting curtains ranges from £40 to £400 per window, inclusive of the curtains themselves, hardware, and installation. While basic nylon curtains can be acquired for as little as £10 to £40, bespoke silk curtains designed for large bay windows may command a hefty price tag of £2,000 to £3,000.
