Made to Measure Roller Blinds
Should I put a Roller Blind in my hallway?
Hallways are places where you can have a bit of fun and make a bit of a statement. Roller Blinds on the back of a glass door work very well. Also if you have a window and door, you might decide to hang a curtain on the back of the door and a Roman Blind on the window.
What fabrics would you recommend for a hallway?
Darker, stronger colours are best for a hall, with heavy traffic passing through a front or back door, also fabrics with good colour coverage rather than a cream background, for hiding any marks.
We would suggest fabrics such as Dainty Daisy in Field Green or Charcoal, also Gypsy Garland in Cornflower, Damson or Charcoal.
Can you make Roller Blinds for a hallway for me?
We can make Roller Blinds for you and deliver them to your front door!
Borders - You can add a 5 cm contrasting bottom border, or an all-round border on the right, left, and bottom edge of the blind. Any of Vanessa's fabrics can be used for this, for example Gypsy Garland in Dove, with a bottom border in Stockholm Stripe - Dove, Winter, or Pretty Maids in Dove and Winter. Plain linen unions also make great borders for Roman Blinds.
Roller Blinds can be made for you through our Made to Measure service with fabrics printed in the UK on a good weight of 100% Linen and Linen Unions. We hold a good stock of all our fabrics.
You can order your Made to Measure Roller Blinds straight from our website. The online guide and video will help you measure your windows for blinds. Click here to view a helpful step-by-step video on how to measure.
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.
