The gentle trellis of Fruit Garden is very suitable for large windows. Equally Pretty Maids with its timeless spot motif makes stunning blinds or curtains for large windows, not just as the main fabric but for bottom borders as well. Our design: Up the Garden Path makes beautiful big blinds, and being a one-colour print creates a simple Scandinavian look.
We suggest choosing both Roller Blinds and Curtains when it comes to dressing a big window. You can make the most of the space by creating a focal point in the room by using similar, or the same fabrics, for the leading edges of your curtains to match the borders of your Roller Blinds, colours that provide consistency for both, and designs that work well together in situ. Bear in mind that the maximum size for Roller and Roman Blinds is 240cm x 240cm, whereas curtains we can make to any size.
You can order your Made to Measure Blinds, Curtains, Cushions and more, straight from our website. The online video guide will help you measure your windows for blinds. For a written guide on how to measure, please click here where you can print or download a copy for yourself.

The same team, who takes your order will roll, inspect and cut it, so accuracy and quality can be assured.
How to measure up for your Roller Blind:
Inside a window recess
Width: Measure the width of the recess from the left to the right (see E on the diagram)
Length: Measure from the top of the recess to the bottom (see E on the diagram)
YOU ONLY NEED TO PROVIDE US WITH THE FULL RECESS MEASUREMENT - the maker will allow for the rolling mechanism when making the blinds (There will be a gap of about 1.5cm between the fabric and the recess wall which will allow some light through, even with a blackout lining)
Outside a window recess
Width: Measure the outside of the window recess (see F on diagram) and add at least 5cms on each side to minimise any light leaking through.
Length: Measure from the required position above the window (we recommend adding at least 5cm), to the length you require (see F on the diagram)
This also applies to blinds that will be fitted to the outside of a door recess, we only need the width and length that you would like the finished blind to be.
Please note that if your roller blind is outside the recess, we have to allow for the mechanism at either side of the roller blind, which is usually 1.5cm each side. For example, if you want the fabric width of your blind to measure 100cm, you need to specify this upon placing your order as 'finished fabric width', otherwise our makers will assume it is the recess width, and cut the fabric down to 97cm with the remaining 3cm for the mechanism, i.e. 100cm full fabric width + 3cm for mechanism, making the final recess width 103cm.
Your Roller blinds will be delivered complete with hanging instructions and fittings.
