Our Roman Blinds are machine sewn and supplied fully strung, attached to a baton and ready to hang. All our interlined blinds are hand stabbed. We can supply roman blinds with a side winder for an additional cost, which we recommend fitting on particularly wide or long blinds.
If you have chosen a fabrics with a stripe or check to make a blind, we cannot guarantee the checks or stripes will be straight. We do our best to get these straight, but this is particularly difficult with hand woven from India which are often not woven straight.
If you are ordering a blind with blackout lining there will be less light leakage around the blind if it is inside the recess.
If you have any special requirements; a cascade austrian or festoon
blind, hand sewing, a contrasting bottom or side borders, or trim

We can make to any design.
1225, 533, 0, Blind, new Strung only or Sidewinder ?
Traditional strung only blinds require a cleat or hook to be fixed to the adjacent wall or window frame. A smooth and simple to operate continuous cord sidewinder enable the blind to stop at any height without the need for a cleat or hook. We recommend this for all large blinds.
All our blinds are lined. We have 100% cotton sateen lining in white, cream and ivory as standard. A great range of coloured linings are available at additional cost. We would not recommend using brightly coloured linings for south or south-west facing windows as the sun is capable of draining the colour from the lining in a couple of years.
Blackout Lining can be used if you are sensitive to light. This is not black and can be used with even the palest of fabrics.
Interlining is an extra layer of ‘bump’ between the curtain fabric and lining. If you would like thick blinds that look sumptuous and flow with fluid movement or have draughty windows, we would recommend interlining. Some of our more delicate fabrics, for example silk blinds need to be interlined to help protect this delicate fabric. All our interlined blinds are hand sewn.
Blinds can sit either inside or outside a window recess. Before measuring it is important to decide which you want. Always use a metal tape measure, as a cloth or plastic tape may stretch.
Enter measurements for Austrian, Festoon, Roman and London Blinds in centimetres.
Roller Blinds need to be measured to the nearest millimetre. The finished width of a roller blind will be 38mm narrower than the width measurement to allow for the blind mechanism. Processed Roller Blinds can only be made up to a width of fabric.
Inside a Window Recess
Measure the length from the top to the bottom of the recess. B.
Measure the width at the top of the window recess, where the blind is to be fitted.
Measure the width at two other points of the recess i.e the middle and the bottom.
Record the lowest measurement to ensure the blind does not snag when being lowered. A.
Outside a Window Recess
To obtain the length, measure from the required position above the window, down to the required finished length.
To obtain the required width, measure the width of the window and add how much you want the fabric to overlap the recess.
We suggest at least 5cm each side.
For example width is A + 50mm + 50mm.
