Hello from Ajanta Studios!
We hope you are all enjoying and benefitting from this lovely Summer weather.

We have had a busy time recently with providing the Interior Furnishings for an impressive property in Dartmouth. All completed now and looking pretty good if we say so ourselves!

As well as making up Curtains and Blinds for individual clients, we do like to help those of you who wish to make your own.
As many of you know, we can supply fabrics in a range of prices, from companies we have selected for their designs, quality and fair pricing.

We have many years of workroom experience in Soft Furnishings, so any advice you require with your project please do get in touch. We are very happy to help as much as possible. It is a good feeling to complete, and enjoy your own makes.

We always have in stock various linings, interlinings, heading tapes, buckram, hooks, velcro et al!
Hopefully all the workroom sundries you could need.

We also supply Poles, Tracks, and Blind systems. Again, please do ask if you need advice, particularly if you have a tricky fitting problem, and feel a bit stuck.

We like to think we are a one stop shop for the DIY Soft Furnisher.

To contact us please call 01548 853318, 7 days a week. Or email us: [email protected]
To order online: www.ajantastudios.co.uk
Or if you are in Kingsbridge pop into our counter service shop at 10 Fore street, just around the passage from Boccinelli Kitchen Shop. If you wish to phone before you visit please do. We look forward to seeing you.
