Made-to-measure blinds come with a long list of benefits. They are superior to their off-the-shelf alternatives for many, many reasons. But first, let us explain exactly what they are!

Made-to-measure window coverings are made to fit your window and your window only. Using your measurements, and the fabric and lining that you’ve chosen, we go off and make your blinds, exactly as you’ve asked. No two made-to-measure blinds are the same. And that’s their beauty.

The alternative option is off-the-shelf blinds. These are the ready-made option. You’ll find them packaged up on the shelves, in set colours and sizes. Whilst they’re a quick solution to window coverings, off-the-shelf blinds are unlikely to fit your windows and meet your requirements as they should.

A perfect blend of style and substance! Venetian window blinds are made up of horizontal slats that are hung together by either tapes or cords (depending on your preference).

This suspension method allows the slats to rotate up to 180 degrees, or be pulled up fully to enable maximum daylight. This is what provides that great privacy and light control that Venetian window blinds are known and loved for.

Venetian window blinds come in a wide range of colours, finishes and textures. Choose from cloth tapes or cords, full colour or multi-colour, smooth or textured! All of which are available across three material options: aluminium, wood and faux wood.
