Our verdict on each
Neutral Curtains
Neutral Curtains suits people whose windows need drapes and shades cut to their own measurements rather than a fixed size, and who like choosing fabric from swatches at home. Ready-made pieces and hardwares can be refunded within 90 days, while made-to-measure goods stay with you once they match your order details.
SmartWings
SmartWings suits US homeowners who want made to measure blinds and curtains from a single supplier, with prices from $139.99 and free delivery on every order. The entry price sits well above Hillarys, and the absence of free samples is the trade-off for anyone who wants to feel the cloth first.

Pros and cons
Neutral Curtains
Pros
- Free fabric samples go out to cover the swatch shipping charge, so you can test colour and weight in your own room.
- Drapes and shades are made to measure, which suits windows that standard sizes do not fit.
- Hardwares and ready-made items can go back for a refund within 90 days of delivery.
Cons
- Made-to-measure drapes and shades cannot be returned once they match your original order details, so a wrong measurement stays with you.
- The 90 day return window covers hardwares and ready-made pieces, so custom work has no second chance.
- Free delivery begins at $300, so a single small order still carries a shipping charge.
SmartWings
Pros
- Delivery is free at $0, so a single blind and a whole house of them ship at the same cost.
- Returns of 30 days rank 16 of 109 brands, ahead of most of the field.
- Made to measure: yes, so blinds and curtains are built to your own window sizes instead of standard drops.
Cons
- Free samples: no, so choosing from polyester, linen and wool rests on product pages rather than on the cloth itself.
- Entry price of $139.99 ranks 68 of 82 brands, and Hillarys lists from £50.
- It sells to US only, so shoppers in other countries are not served by this range.
Who each suits
Neutral Curtains
Who it suits
- Homeowners and renters with windows that need drapes or shades cut to exact measurements.
- Shoppers who want to feel fabric swatches at home before paying for a custom order.
- Buyers of small hardware pieces or ready-made goods who value a long return window.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone hoping to send back a made-to-measure drape or shade, since that work is made to match your order details and sits outside returns.
- Shoppers placing one modest order under $300, who still pay the delivery charge.
- Readers who want one quoted price to cover the range will find that $39.99 belongs to a single product, the Lily Linen Roman Shades and Blinds.
SmartWings
Who it suits
- Homeowners and renters in US redoing every window in a house at once.
- Shoppers who want custom sizing together with a 30 day return window.
- Buyers who want timber and fabric treatments from the same order, given the polyester, linen and wool range.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers on a tight budget with only a couple of windows to cover, since Hillarys lists from £50.
- Buyers outside US, who are better served by a brand quoting in their own currency, such as Hillarys.
- Anyone wanting rugs or lighting in the same basket, since rugs, washable rugs and lighting covers those alongside curtains and blinds.

Questions about each
Neutral Curtains
What does a curtain or blind cost?+
The site lists a sale price of $39.99 for the Lily Linen Roman Shades and Blinds, taken from its sale page. That figure belongs to that product rather than to the rest of the range, so it works as a marker of a promotional price and not as a starting point for every curtain, shade or accessory listed.
How much is delivery, and when does shipping come free?+
Shipping is free once an order value reaches $300, according to the site's shipping policy. Below that line you pay a delivery charge on the order, which matters when you are buying one small hardware piece or a single swatch set. The threshold works on order value, so a second product in the same basket can carry it over the line.
SmartWings
How much do SmartWings blinds and curtains cost?+
Prices start at $139.99 for the cheapest blind or curtain in the range, and delivery is free, so the landing cost is the listed price. SmartWings ranks 68 of 82 brands on entry price, which puts it above cheaper starters such as Hillarys at £50. Larger windows and premium materials push an order up from there.
Are SmartWings products made to measure?+
Made to measure: yes. The catalogue covers blinds and curtains, so blinds and curtains are produced to your own measurements rather than sold in standard drops. That suits rooms with unusual window sizes, and it is part of why the $139.99 entry point sits above some ready made ranges.
