So what makes made-to-measure Roman blinds stand out against the rest? When there’s no shortage of window dressings available.

Our design team helps UK customers create the perfect Roman blinds for a huge variety of properties, so they’re well-placed to explain what a made-to-measure Roman blind offers compared to the other options.

When you’ve finished exploring this guide, you’ll have all the information you need to decide if made-to-measure Roman blinds suit your home.

Made-to-measure Roman blinds are versatile.

When you choose made-to-measure Roman shades, you’re choosing a window treatment that can be made to fit any window in your home perfectly.

DIY blinds are rarely this flexible. They will usually come in a standard set of sizes, which makes dressing especially small or large windows impossible. This often leads to people having to mix and match the blinds they use in their home, reducing kerb appeal and spoiling design symmetry between rooms.

With made-to-measure blinds, you don’t have this problem – we can create Roman blinds that look beautiful in an almost endless range of windows. In fact, from tiny windows to 3-metre-wide feature windows, we’ll design and create Roman blinds that fit perfectly.

Roman blinds that are child and pet-friendly

If you have inquisitive children and pets in your house, you must be 100% confident that the blinds you’re fitting will be safe.

When you choose Shuttercraft Roman blinds, you also choose peace of mind. Every blind we sell includes a standard child safety cord consolidator and safety cleats.

This means your home’s blinds will fully comply with the current child safety legislation.

Of course, it’s not just the products that meet this legislation. To be completely safe, Roman blinds needed to be fitted correctly.

Our expert installation teams will ensure this is the case – and they’ll fully explain and demonstrate the safety features of your new blinds after fitting.

Room darkening options

We’ll chat with you about room darkening options when we design Roman blinds for your home.

While bright light can be incredibly flooding into your living space, having a bedroom blackout option is nice. This is especially important if you’re a light sleeping, a shift worker, or a family with young children.

Studies show that light is the most important factor affecting our sleep. We’re naturally programmed to associate light with being awake – and our brains release wakefulness hormones when light is detected.

While a room darkening lining is integral to making a comfortable environment to sleep or relax in, fitting just right is crucial if you don’t want the light to creep in.

To avoid gaps, Roman blinds must be manufactured and installed with precision. This precision is often impossible if you adjust and fit blinds by yourself.

A Roman blind with thermal lining adds insulation.

You don’t need to be reminded that the temperature in the UK is more changeable than ever. With highs exceeding 40 degrees and lows dropping well beneath zero, ensuring your home is well-insulated has never been more critical.

Of course, it’s not just temperatures that are the problem. With energy prices at all-time highs, over one-third of people say they cannot heat their homes comfortably.

Adding a thermal lining to Roman blinds becomes one of the most effective ways to keep the warmth in and stop your home from overheating in the summer months. By using specialist fabrics, made-to-measure blinds can be made to reflect heat.

This means the warm air inside your home stays where it’s needed. In summer, thermal Roman blinds will help reflect the sun’s rays – keeping your home cooler and more comfortable.
