Types of Blinds

With so many different types of blinds to choose from, it can sometimes be a bit of a minefield knowing where to start. Here are some of the most popular types of blinds – you'll find made to measure options on most blind manufacturer's websites.

• Venetian blinds

• Roman blinds

• Vertical blinds

• Roller blinds

• Wooden or woodweave blinds

• Velux window blinds

The type of blinds you choose will depend on what you're looking for – for privacy which still allows light into the home, venetian blinds are a great choice. For those looking to add a decorative element to their windows, roman blinds are perfect.

The Benefits of Made to Measure Blinds

So why should you buy made to measure blinds rather than ready-made blinds? It's true that there is a wide range of ready-made blinds to choose from, but then you have to make sure you buy the correct size, and there might not be the right colour or pattern to suit your home. With made to measure blinds, you can be sure that your new blinds will fit your window perfectly – after all, they've been designed specifically for you!

Made to measure blinds are a great option for properties with unusually shaped windows, or homes with large windows or French doors. Floor to ceiling windows in older, period houses can often be a challenge when shopping for blinds, but by ordering bespoke venetian or wooden blinds, you can be sure they'll fit perfectly.

There are plenty of websites offering made to measure blinds – some have a wider choice of styles, colours and finishes than others, so it's important to have an idea of what type of blinds you're shopping for and what your budget is before you start browsing. Don't forget to check how much delivery costs and how long it will take, as well as ensuring that your new blinds will come with a warranty – the length of this can vary depending on the website you purchase from.
