Made to Measure Roller Blinds

Vanessa Arbuthnott’s Cow Parsley Roller Blinds are inspired by the charm of picturesque Cotswold scenery in Gloucestershire. Get delicate wildflower and butterfly inspired patterns on fabrics for your roller blinds to bring a touch of classic English countryside into your home.

Available in a variety of popular and soothing colors like Duck Egg and Cornflower, the blinds are handcrafted to order from the organic fabric of your choice. 

Choose from laminated or blackout linings to suit your privacy needs. Additionally, you can customise your blinds with contrast borders in vibrant shades like Saffron or Cornflower, making them the perfect feature for any room.

Why Cow Parsely?

The stunning Cotswold scenery that surrounds Vanessa's home in Gloucestershire, including the Cow Parsley wildflower, has always served as her greatest source of artistic inspiration. With butterflies resting on flower heads, it exudes a classic English feel. 

All of the colour schemes are ideal for Roller Blinds, with Duck Egg and Cornflower being one of the most popular because of its soft, delicate hue. They are all printed on a smooth Linen Union fabric that is a blend of organic cotton and linen.

What linings are available for my Cow Parsley Roller Blinds?

Either a laminated or a blackout lining is provided. The white laminated reverse lining is adhered to the fabric's main face but is not entirely blackout. It does provide privacy, however, as well as allowing some light to filter through. Once more sewn to the main fabric, the blackout lining offers light blocking and privacy at the same time. Both are recommended as backings to help provide privacy and protection of the fabric for longevity. We also provide an unlined, or "processed," blind if privacy is not a priority for the blind that will be installed in a particular room. This will just be the fabric on its own that has a stiffening spray applied to it for rigidness. It will depend on your measurements since this is produced from a single width of fabric, making the maximum width for a processed blind that we can make, 133cm.

What other colours can I incorporate with my Cow Parsley Roller Blind?

We offer the Cow Parsley in a variety of colours, from delicate Duck Egg blues to vibrant Saffron yellows. You can therefore use a contrast border to include these colours into your blind. However, bear in mind that every butterfly on the Cow Parsley design is in a different colour from the background, so you can pick up this colour on the border as well as on other items in the room if you want to add subtly effective colour coordinates.

In the aforementioned finishings for your Made to Measure soft furnishings and furniture, for instance, the Cornflower blue on the Sand Cow Parsley can be picked up with either another printed fabric, like Little Fern - Cornflower, or with a Plain Linen Union.
