If you’re looking for ways to spruce up your space, made-to-measure blinds could be just the finishing touch your room needs.
Ordering made-to-measure blinds is so easy nowadays; simply find your favourite style, input your measurements and ‘add to cart’!
To ensure you have the smoothest shopping experience possible, we’ve rounded up our top tips for ordering made-to-measure blinds online.
Choosing The Right Style
Your blinds need to reflect the aesthetic of your room — but they also need to be suited to your practical needs, too.
Roller and Roman blinds are ideal for privacy and light control, perfect for bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens.
Meanwhile, with their adjustable slats, wooden Venetian blinds offer a balance of privacy and sunlight, making them great for home offices and bathrooms.
Don’t forget about other windows in your home that could benefit from a made-to-measure blinds makeover, too; such as your conservatory windows and patio doors.
Try Before You Buy
Once you’ve figured out the type of blinds you’d like in your space, it’s time to get creative! But you don’t have to commit before seeing what your blinds would look like in your room.
At Sewing House, we offer free samples on our blinds so you can feel the quality and ensure that the colour and texture are exactly what you’re looking for before buying.
Get Precise With Your Measurement
It goes without saying that when ordering made-to-measure blinds, your window measurements must be spot-on. But don’t let this put you off; getting the right measurement is easy!
We’ve made it easier than ever to get your measurements with our handy guides:
For any type of blind, though, deciding whether you’d like your window dressings to sit inside the window recess or over the entire window is essential. You should also try to use a metal measuring tape where you can, and if you have a wide window, get someone to help you.
Understand Lead Times
Years ago, you could expect to wait for your bespoke blinds for weeks — nowadays, it’s much faster! Thanks to our made-to-measure blinds being produced in our UK workshops, we offer a 10-day lead time on our Roman and roller blinds. Our wooden blinds can have a slightly longer lead time of 10-20 days.
Knowing the expected lead times of your made-to-measure blinds can help you plan your project timelines so you don’t need to leave your windows without coverings for longer than necessary.

Once your blinds have arrived, you’re so close to enjoying your brand-new, bespoke blinds!
