A NOTE ABOUT SILK DUPION
As a raw fabric, fading and deterioration may occur over time, especially in sunlight, so we do not recommend silk dupion for curtains and blinds or for lampshades placed in or near a window. Please take a look at our lovely collection of
Faux Silks that we have sourced for customers wanting the look and feel of pure silk in a more robust fabric.
We recommend that all silk curtains and blinds are lined and interlined to protect the face fabric but even then, fading and may occur over time especially in darker colours.
2. MEASURE YOUR WINDOWS
-
The first step to measuring for new blinds is to measure the length of pole or baton you need to hang them.
-
We then need to know how long you would like your blinds to hang. This is called the drop. Our soft furnishings team will use these measurements to calculate how much fabric you need.
3. CHOOSE A HEADING
Decide if you would like your Roman blind to be hung on a baton with velcro, or whether you intend to hang it from a pole.

4. SELECT YOUR LINING
All our made to measure blinds can be supplied with a variety of lining options depending on your requirements.
UNLINED
Creates an airy effect; ideal for voiles or soft linens. Unlined curtains are a great way of gently shading a window whilst maintaining an element of natural light within the room.
LINED
Choose from 3 neutral colourways in white, ivory or cream.
INTERLINED
Interlining your blinds adds a soft extra layer of fabric within the blind that helps to protect the fabric from harmful sunlight and provides insulation.
BLACKOUT
Our blackout material is available in cream and helps protect the blind against sunlight and provides insulation so does not need to be combined with any of our other linings.
5. CHOOSE A CLEAT AND PULL
-
A cleat is supplied with your blind so we need to know what finish you would like it in.
-
We also need to know if the blind will be strung to the left or right depending on where you plan to fit the cleat.
-
Pull handles are purchased separately.
