How To Choose The Right Blinds

Think about what you need most when deciding how to choose the right blinds — light control, privacy, insulation, or style. Roller blinds are great for minimal spaces, while Roman blinds add warmth and texture. Wooden blinds offer a classic look with excellent light control. If you’re not sure, our team is happy to help you decide during a free consultation.

Our typical turnaround for made to measure blinds is 1 to 3 weeks from order to installation. This can vary depending on the style and material you choose, but we’ll always give you a clear timescale when you place your order — and keep you updated every step of the way.

Choosing the right size blinds depends on how you want them to sit — inside or outside the window recess. For a neat, fitted look, measure the inside width and drop of the recess in three places and use the smallest measurements. This is called a recess fit.

For exact fit or outside mount blinds (which can block more light), measure the area you want the blind to cover beyond the window — usually adding 5–10 cm on each side.
