Are Made To Measure Blinds Worth It?

Thinking of sprucing up your home with a new look? Many people get carried away with the furniture and colours of a room when they redecorate, forgetting about the incredibly important decision of window coverings.

Blinds are an excellent choice. There are so many different fabrics, styles and colours to choose from and they’re practical too, so you can incorporate blinds into any room design.

Do You Need Made To Measure Blinds?

Made to measure blinds are bespoke to the particular window in question. While many people choose to buy off the shelf when it comes to blinds, this often means that the blind doesn’t fully cover the window – leaving it useless when it comes to keeping in heat and blocking out light.

Buying off the shelf also means you have less flexibility with fixings and materials, so you may not be able to achieve the exact look that you’ve been dreaming of.

Made To Measure

Made to measure blinds are measured and fitted perfectly to the size and shape of your window and are completely bespoke to your space.

This is helpful for older houses or those that have non-standard window sizes. Without this bespoke fitting, the blind wouldn’t fit perfectly to the window, leaving unsightly gaps and meaning that the blind didn’t perform to its full potential, just because it doesn’t cover the window properly.

Made to measure blinds are a fantastic option for very wide windows, as normal shops possibly won’t stock them due to their obscure fixings.

Bespoke Design

If it’s important to you to put your own stamp on your new décor, then made to measure blinds are the best option. Bespoke blinds come in a much larger range of colours, materials and designs so you’ll be able to select something that perfectly suits your personality and the look that you’re going for.

The fabric that you choose also allows you to select between a practical blind and one that’s more aesthetic in nature. If you select a thicker material, then you’ll be able to use your blind as a blackout blind, whereas lighter materials let in the sun.

Well Made And Durable

While standard blinds are designed to last between 3 and 5 years, made to measure blinds Chatteris are designed to last up to a decade. This gives you value for money but also means, if you get a neutral style, that you can still redecorate without having to rethink your window covering options.

Made to measure blinds are also guaranteed to be made by a professional who knows exactly where each stitch needs to fall to make your blinds perfect. Shop bought and mass-produced blinds could actually come across as lower quality, as the chances are that they’ve been made by a machine and only had a cursory quality check.

If you’re about to redesign your room, Blinds in Harmony provide the very best made to measure blinds Chatteris. They will give bespoke advice and recommendations based on your requirements and you’ll receive a stunning, high-quality blind that you can guarantee is one of a kind.
