Pret A Vivre

I recently discovered the fabulous fabrics at Pret a Vivre in the showroom on Wandsworth Bridge Road, near my workshop where I make bags and baskets. Helen has been so helpful and it’s been a delight to go through the treasure trove of a basement there. I was hoping to be able to get to the Outlet in Nottingham but can’t right now, so Joanne there very kindly gave me a virtual shopping experience, going through the remnants and end-of-roll fabrics for me to choose from. Thank you, both! Wonderful service given with genuine enthusiasm for the fabrics.Margaret Doyle, Bledsoe Bags

Another successful project with Pret a Vivre where we created together beautiful made to measure window dressings for our high end project, and they look absolutely stunning! As usual fantastic and very patient service from Deepak, who assist us and our clients at the showroom and further with the production, delivery and installation.We are very delighted with the final result and we highly recommend the company to anyone who is looking to have beautifully styled their windows. Once again thank you, Karo and Co Interiors team.

I have an interior design company and have worked with Pret A Vivre on several of my projects. The most recent involved the installation of motorised ceiling mounted tracks and floor to ceiling curtains for two sets of 15m long bi-fold doors. Pret A Vivre's expertise and advice with configuration and installation of the tracks and their integration into the electrical control system was invaluable. The fitting was professional and completed with minimal disruption to my clients who were delighted with the end result. I can't recommend the team at Pret A Vivre highly enough for their expertness and knowledge.

Beware of the quality of their fitting service.One of our curtain poles became detached from the wall so I made contact to see if there was anything that could be done. At this point I have to point out that the original fitting was done seven years ago. However, I was able to provide them with significant evidence of an extremely poor quality of fitting that had initially been done, and that it was merely luck that it had not come done sooner.The plasterboard is not faulty and all fixings have come out of the holes. Of the four fixings used to attach the pole to the wall, three were defective:1. A plastic plug with a notional max loading of 5kg had been used.2. A metal self-drill plasterboard fixing had been inserted an inch past the surface of the wall making it completely compromised.3. A toggle fixing had been used despite the fact that there was not enough space in the cavity for it to toggle open therefore rendering it useless! This is the most substandard of the three.Having spent £3.6K with them I expected, at the very least, a request to come and view for themselves the issue. But no, simply a demand for £120 to come out. They have now stopped corresponding with me seemingly happy that it's not their problem and hiding behind the time it has taken for this issue to manifest itself.A real shame as up to this point we had been happy and had recommended their services to others.

Helen offered exceptional advice and was very friendly and welcoming - I would highly recommend stopping by the store in Fulham.We live in a period flat so it was helpful and reassuring having everything measured properly and fitted by a professional - Declan our fitter was fantastic and very helpful. Marina was also very helpful at coordinating everything!We are delighted with the blinds in the bedrooms and they match the Farrow and Ball colours beautifully.I would highly recommend!

Great service and even better curtains. We will certainly be using them again in the future.

Finally got round to writing a review although had my curtains supplied and fitted last year! From the first meeting (Deepak in Fulham showroom) to the final fitting by two delightful guys - Owen and Ainsley - everything was more then perfect. My curtains are beautiful and admired by many! Deepak was extremely helpful in assisting me with colour choice/fabric as I don't have any creative instincts so I was overjoyed the day Owen and Ainsley arrived with my curtains (and voiles). Deepak kept me updated throughout the process and made sure I understood everything about fittings, weight etc which made the whole purchase so stress free. The day Owen and Ainsley arrived to fit them with a smile and ease, it was a pleasure to spend time with them! Would definitely recommend Pret A Vivre. You cannot beat the quality and service and I'm pleased I found them.

My husband and I have recently ordered some made-to-measure curtains for our dining room and our living room, the latter with a very big bay window with in the end required a lot of guidance in order to find the right style and size for both pole and finials. The staff at Pret-A-Vivre, from Adele in the showroom through to Mark in the fitting department and the fitters who came to our flat, was extremely professional and very pleasant to deal with, showing a high standard of service and attention to details, and ensuring at each step that we were making the right choice. We are extremely happy with the result, I recommend the company wholeheartedly.

We are thrilled with our curtains from Pret A Vivre in Fulham. From start to finish they were fantastic - Deepak was so helpful and patient as we went over the options. The turnaround time was quicker than we expected and the fitting by the lovely Owen took less than two hours. They are not the cheapest out there but with good reason - beautifully made and hopefully long-lasting. Would 100% recommend to anyone.

This was the most amazing experience, I am so glad I found Pret A Vive. As it was during a lockdown I had to work from samples sent to me which could have been difficult. However Deepak in Fulham made it so easy he seemed to know exactly what I wanted and gave me great advice, he was also very patient! He guided me through the whole process and I am delighted with the curtains they are perfect. I would certainly recommend Pret A Vive, the quality of the materials and excellentservice would be difficult to improve on.
