Bespoke Blinds Made For The Way You Live

Roman blinds use fabric that folds upwards into soft horizontal sections, giving a more decorative appearance. Roller blind fabric rolls around a tube and generally creates a cleaner, simpler treatment. We can also advise on other styles where appropriate.

That depends on the type of blind, its size and the look you want to achieve. Fabric weight and handle can make a noticeable difference to the finished result, particularly with Roman blinds. Crisper fabrics tend to create sharper, more defined folds, while heavier or softer fabrics can give a more relaxed, luxurious drape.

We'll also consider the pattern, composition, scale and how the fabric will behave when the blind is raised and lowered regularly before recommending the most suitable option.

Potentially, yes. Some decorative fabrics can be professionally laminated with a specialist backing to give them the structure required for use as a roller blind.

Not every fabric is suitable, so we'll assess your chosen material first. If it isn't appropriate for lamination, we can help you select a suitable fabric from the available roller blind collections instead.

We work with specialist manufacturers who can assess supplied fabrics and, where necessary, test a swatch before the blind goes into production. Not every fabric is suitable for lamination. Raised textures, some voiles and certain velvets may not be appropriate, while strong linear patterns such as stripes are generally best avoided because the fabric can stretch during the process and cause the lines to appear uneven.

Venetian blinds are available in a wide choice of finishes depending on the range, including natural and coloured wood finishes and aluminium slats in a variety of colours and surface finishes.

Some designs can also be personalised with coordinating or contrasting decorative tapes, allowing the blind to sit more naturally within the wider interior.

The width of the slat can also influence which colours, finishes and decorative options are available, so we'll consider both the scale and finish when recommending a system.

That depends on the room, window and level of privacy required. We'll look at how the space is used and how much natural light you want to retain before making a recommendation.

Yes. The amount of protection depends on the blind and fabric selected, but suitable blinds can help manage direct sunlight, glare and solar heat entering the room. They can also reduce the amount of UV exposure reaching furnishings and interior finishes.

We'll consider the direction of the window, how the room is used and what you want the blind to achieve before recommending an appropriate option.

Specialist solar-control blinds and fabrics are designed to help manage heat, glare and UV exposure.

We can specify blinds for bathrooms and kitchens, but the material needs to suit the conditions of the room. We'll consider factors such as moisture, humidity, cleaning and how close the blind will sit to sinks, baths or cooking areas.

For example, moisture-resistant aluminium Venetian blinds can work well in more humid spaces, while suitable specialist roller fabrics may also be an option. We'll advise on the material and system based on the individual room.

Yes. Blackout can be incorporated into a number of blind types, but the level of darkness will depend on both the fabric and the way the blind is fitted.

For fabric blinds such as Roman blinds, a blackout lining can be added behind the face fabric to significantly reduce the amount of light passing through the blind itself.

Roller blinds can be made using blackout fabrics. Where a higher level of room darkening is required, such as in a nursery or cinema room, specialist roller systems with side channels can also help reduce light leakage around the edges of the blind.

Light leakage is the small amount of light that can enter around the sides, top or bottom of a blind, even when the fabric itself is blackout. We'll consider how dark you want the room to be, the type of blind and the window itself before recommending the most appropriate approach.

Yes. Motorised blinds can be either mains-powered or battery-powered, depending on the blind, window and wider project requirements.

Mains-powered systems need a suitable power cable in place for the motor to connect to, so they are best considered early where possible. Battery-powered systems offer greater flexibility because they can be installed without a mains connection at the window.

Rechargeable battery systems will need charging periodically, typically around every 6 to 10 months depending on how frequently the blind is operated. We'll help you choose the most appropriate option for the space and how you want to use it.

Yes. Motorised blinds can be connected to a home automation system, but the way this is achieved will depend on the system already in place and the blind specification.

Integration can affect factors such as cost, motor choice, headrail size, power requirements and the controls used, so it is best to consider this early in the project.

We'll work with the requirements of your existing automation system and advise on the most suitable blind setup for the space.

Yes. Both measuring and installation form part of our full-service approach.

Yes, and combining the two can be particularly effective when the window has several practical and design requirements.

For example, you may want an operational blind to provide privacy or light control, paired with dress curtains that add fabric, softness and another decorative layer without needing to be opened and closed each day.

Yes. Depending on the blind, window and motorisation system, solar-powered options may be available. We can advise on whether this is suitable for the window and how it would work alongside the wider blind specification.

Yes. Pleated blinds can be a useful option where you want a neat, lightweight treatment with good control over privacy and light.

Depending on the window and the treatment required, options can include systems such as Perfect Fit and INTU, which are designed to sit neatly within suitable window or door frames, as well as VELUX blinds for compatible roof windows.

We'll consider the window, the look you want to achieve and how the blind needs to perform before recommending whether a pleated blind is the right choice.

Yes. Trims and fabric borders are a lovely way to make a blind feel more individual and connect it with the wider room.

Depending on the blind and fabric, we can explore options such as contrast borders, decorative braids, trims or coordinating fabrics to create something that feels unique to your scheme rather than choosing a standard finish.

Absolutely. If you've saved a blind, fabric, trim or window treatment on Pinterest or Instagram that you love, send it to us.

You don't need to know exactly how to recreate it. We can use your inspiration to understand the look you're drawn to, then advise on the fabrics, finishes, proportions and blind styles that could achieve a similar feel in your own space.
