Hello and welcome to Made to Measure Roman Blinds!
When choosing your window accent, the choice invariably comes down to whether to use blinds or curtains. Cheap Roman blinds made to measure are great options for more modern looking homes and especially for rooms like bathrooms where you want to temporarily block visibility without risking the damage that can affect curtains. They are also good for rooms prone to excessive light and can be used here in conjunction with curtains.
This style really does come in just about every colour and pattern, just be careful to choose a fabric that is relatively durable, especially for areas like bathrooms or kitchens where there is extra moisture and heat. Whilst silk or linen versions might be luxurious and more pleasant, they are more difficult to clean and prone to damage during that process. It is also popular to get blackout Roman blinds made to measure as the last thing you would want is little bits or annoying light creeping through the window when you are trying to sleep!
The made to measure option is particularly important as windows are not of uniform dimensions or shapes. You might love the concept of using Roman blinds in several rooms in your house yet find that you can’t find readymade options that fit them all. It would be much easier to take all of the required dimensions to a place that can custom make them and get them all together at the same time without the hassle of having to search ans order from various outlets.
A final thing to remember is that you will need to know how to install the Roman blinds. To be honest the easiest thing is to search online for videos on the subject. There are plenty! If all else fails you can bite your lip and buy some curtains instead!
In terms of pricing you will generally be expected to pay between £20 to £100 online with the mid-price being around £70. However, on many occasions you will be asked to submit your own pre-bought fabric along with the dimensions. You are really paying for the process of cutting the fabric to size and attaching it to the roller, whether for made to mesure Roman blackout blinds or those in standard colours.
