How to dress large modern windows using Roller Blinds?
Sometimes these can be somewhat overwhelming due to the size of space to potentially cover or dress, but actually, these are the best space to work with. You can really add impact through design and colour that will not only look beautiful but incorporate designs within the space that really complement the rest of the room.
Some of the fabrics that would best suit this scheme would be our following fabrics: Shibori, Origami, Lattice Leaf, Up the Garden Path, French Ticking, Stockholm Stripe, and many many more.
A well-dressed window can be achieved by choosing a larger pattern, such as stripes, which will serve as the foundation for layering your soft furnishings. For instance, to make a lovely and cosy dressed window, choose Roller Blinds for your window and draw curtains over them. Why not choose a leading edge that matches the colour or pattern of your blinds' border? This would help in tying things together and make them appear intentional. Once you've decided on your colour selections, you can then incorporate the border colours/designs into other soft furnishings in the space to maintain consistency. For example, you could add contrast piping to a scatter cushion or use the same design on a lampshade, the options are endless!
You can order your Made to Measure Blinds, Curtains, Cushions and more, straight from our website. The online video guide will help you measure your windows for blinds. For a written guide on how to measure, please click here where you can print or download a copy for yourself.
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.
All our fabrics are printed in the UK on a good weight of 100% Linen, and Linen Union, making them suitable for lampshades, curtains, blinds, cushions, and upholstery. We hold a good stock of all our fabrics ensuring delivery is usually within 3-5 working days subject to availability. The same team, who takes your order will roll, inspect and cut it, so accuracy and quality can be assured.
How to measure up for your Roller Blind:
Inside a window recess
Width: Measure the width of the recess from the left to the right (see E on the diagram)
Length: Measure from the top of the recess to the bottom (see E on the diagram)
YOU ONLY NEED TO PROVIDE US WITH THE FULL RECESS MEASUREMENT - the maker will allow for the rolling mechanism when making the blinds (There will be a gap of about 1.5cm between the fabric and the recess wall which will allow some light through, even with a blackout lining)
Outside a window recess
Width: Measure the outside of the window recess (see F on diagram) and add at least 5cms on each side to minimise any light leaking through.
Length: Measure from the required position above the window (we recommend adding at least 5cm), to the length you require (see F on the diagram)
This also applies to blinds that will be fitted to the outside of a door recess, we only need the width and length that you would like the finished blind to be.
Please note that if your roller blind is outside the recess, we have to allow for the mechanism at either side of the roller blind, which is usually 1.5cm each side. For example, if you want the fabric width of your blind to measure 100cm, you need to specify this upon placing your order as 'finished fabric width', otherwise our makers will assume it is the recess width, and cut the fabric down to 97cm with the remaining 3cm for the mechanism, i.e. 100cm full fabric width + 3cm for mechanism, making the final recess width 103cm.
Your Roller blinds will be delivered complete with hanging instructions and fittings.
