Made to Measure Roller Blinds

Are Roller Blinds suitable for a home office?

Yes, roller blinds are a great option for a home office because they are relatively small in size, simple to use and adjust, and pre-packaged with all the fixings you need for hanging. Choose blackout lining if the lighting in the space is particularly intense to reduce glare on your computer screen. A laminated or processed blind might also work if you are north-facing because it still provides you with the privacy you need for work.

The continuous beaded chain, or ivory cord option of roller blinds in a home office, makes adjusting effortless, of course, keeps them out of children's reach. Roller blinds are the best option if you frequently give presentations online and need to easily modify the lighting.

We provide reverse rolled, where the fabric falls forward, as well as standard rolled, where the fabric falls backwards and sits closer to the window. Standard rolled is preferable if you have items on your sill that you don't want to knock off. As it is positioned closer to the window frame, it will also aid in blocking out a bit more light.

What fabrics should I choose for my home office Roller Blind?

The type of fabric that works well for roller blinds depends on the room itself. Think about the colours already present in the space and decide if you want to carry those colours through to your blind. If, for instance, the space is quite small, opt for a neutral palette to prevent it from dominating the room. Alternately, choose a larger print for larger windows that preserve a cosy ambience; this is especially useful if the home office also serves as another multi-functional room, such as a dressing room or spare bedroom.

Please ask for fabric samples and see the colours in your rooms. If you order a half metre returnable sample you can drape them over your existing shades, or just in situ to where the shade will go, and see how it looks.
