Made to Measure Roller Blinds
These are Vanessa's top picks for Roller Blind fabrics over the last few months.
Since Fine Foliage is multicoloured, adding other fabrics in any of the design's colours to serve as room scheme coordinates is easy when creating a sample board. For example, as a bottom border for your blind, you could choose a Plain Linen Union in Moss or a printed design fabric like Little Fern, also in Moss. With our roller blinds, we also provide pelmets, which you could have in the same contrasting fabric as your border, for even more impact.
Little Fern is ideal for Roller Blinds, particularly those that are very modest in size because of its small pattern repeat. This is a scaled-down variant of the Wild Fern; both are from Vanessa's ever-popular Forest Collection. Modern and contemporary homes are well-suited to this geometric style.
Because of its small pattern repeat, May Blossom in Pigeon and Charcoal is also highly adaptable, much like the Little Fern mentioned above. Neutral room schemes look great with the subdued grey background with a hint of green. Why not incorporate the deeper Charcoal colour seen in the centre of the circular blooms to make a bigger statement with your Roller Blind? This is available as a Plain Linen Union in addition to a variety of printed designs. As previously stated, you can use this as a pelmet or a border; an exmple of this design (although in a different colour), gives you a good idea of how it looks with a matching pelmet and contrasting border.
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.
