Top Tips for Styling Your Home with Made to Measure Blinds

Embrace the Versatility of Made to Measure Blinds

When it comes to window treatments, made to measure blinds offer unmatched versatility. Unlike ready-made blinds, bespoke options are created specifically to fit your windows—no matter the size, shape, or architectural quirks. This level of precision not only enhances the visual appeal of your space but also improves privacy, insulation, and light control.

Whether you live in a character cottage with uneven walls or a contemporary apartment with floor-to-ceiling glazing, made to measure blinds provide a sleek, tailored finish that off-the-shelf options simply cannot match.

Choose the Right Style for Each Room

The key to successfully styling your home with made to measure blinds lies in selecting the right type of blind for each space. Every room serves a different purpose and deserves a window treatment that supports its function and mood:

• Living Room: Choose Roman blinds for a luxurious and classic look or roller blinds for a more minimalist and modern feel.
• Bedroom: Opt for blackout blinds to promote better sleep and block out early morning light.
• Kitchen: Consider moisture-resistant materials like faux wood or aluminium Venetian blinds, which are easy to clean and handle humidity well.
• Home Office: Light-filtering blinds or day and night blinds provide optimal control for screen work and daytime privacy.

Matching the blind style to each room’s needs will help elevate the overall comfort and design of your home.

Coordinate Colours and Patterns Thoughtfully

Made to measure blinds are available in an impressive range of fabrics, textures, and colours. The key is to choose shades and patterns that harmonise with your existing décor or inject contrast for added character. Here is how to approach it:

• Neutral colours like whites, greys, and creams can create a timeless and calming look.
• Bold colours or patterned fabrics act as a statement feature in a neutral room.
• Natural textures such as linen-look or wood-effect finishes adding warmth and softness.

Think about the emotional tone of the room too—soft hues are great for bedrooms, while vibrant prints can energise kitchens or playrooms.

Layer with Curtains for Extra Depth and Insulation

For an elegant, layered look, consider combining made to measure blinds with curtains. This technique adds depth, texture, and visual interest to any room, and improves functionality.

• Layer sheer curtains over blackout blinds to soften incoming light during the day.
• Use thermal-lined curtains with roller blinds to boost insulation in colder months.
• Match colours or contrast textures to bring balance or boldness to your space.

Layering is particularly useful in larger rooms or period homes where traditional drapery can complement the clean lines of made to measure blinds.

Prioritise Quality and Craftsmanship

One of the biggest benefits of made to measure blinds is the opportunity to invest in quality materials and workmanship. Unlike mass-produced options, bespoke blinds are crafted with precision and care, using superior fabrics, linings, and mechanisms.

At PeterJohn Interiors, we work with Luxaflex to offer our customers the best in blinds. All blinds are carefully measured, manufactured, and installed by experienced professionals. This ensures that not only do they look beautiful, but they also stand the test of time, resisting sagging, fading, or misalignment that can often occur with cheaper alternatives.

Explore Motorised Made to Measure Blinds for Convenience

If you are looking to modernise your home, motorised blinds are a must-have. With discreet fittings and remote or app-controlled operation, they offer luxury and convenience—especially for hard-to-reach windows or large glazed areas.

Motorised made to measure blinds can be programmed to open and close on a schedule, which is great for energy efficiency and security when you are away. They are also an ideal choice for homes with children or pets, thanks to their cordless design.
