Blinds have become increasingly popular over recent years and quickly replacing curtains in the home. Sadly, the lack of blind safety has led to 32 deaths of children between 2001 and 2018 due to blind cords. These are all preventable deaths if appropriate blind safety actions are in place. There is now legislation to ensure that all suppliers and fitters of blinds in commercial and residential properties meet these requirements. Who does it apply to? Child safety applies to everyone that has blinds or curtains in their home or workplace, children can be present at any location and we will never know what age or ability they will be on any given day.

Choosing soft furnishings for a room can be challenging when faced with an empty space, especially a new build that you have not lived in yet. For this project, the customer got in touch once the build was at a stage where we could safely enter the property and take measurements. The customer had a good idea of the window dressings that she wanted for all the windows in the house but was unsure about what to do with this door. This door is in the kitchen and would go out into the garden, she wanted to have curtains but wasn't sure if this was possible.

We receive a lot of enquiries via email or social media regarding curtains and blinds and we have successfully fulfilled many orders using customers measurements and courier services. We have put together a handy guide to help you when requesting a quote and placing an order for your curtains and blinds. Poles should aim to be 15-20cm above your window, and should stretch 10-15cm wider than the window on each side. Measure from the eye of the curtain ring or eye of the track to your chosen curtain length.
