If you’re looking for a new window dressing, you’ll more than likely consider the material it’s made from, light control options and a design style that matches your interior scheme. Another consideration is whether you choose a ready made blind or a made to measure blind for your space. In this blog, learn more about the differences between made to measure blinds and ready made blinds. Discover how a made to measure approach offers improved light control, a perfect fit at your window and more.

ToggleA Perfect Fit for Your Window
Whether you choose a recess or exact fitting, made to measure blinds offer a sleek look at your windows as the material will be made to your requirements. With the exact width and drop that you’re looking for, you can create a beautiful, streamlined focal point, without the material overhanging or being too short for your sill.
Precise Light Control
As well as offering a perfect fit aesthetically, they’re incredibly practical too. Using custom measurements for the width and drop enable you to minimise light seepage around the edges of the lowered blind, even if you decide to fit them between your recess.

This is convenient for windows with unique features such as a bay window, accounting for tricky corners so you can retain your privacy. Certain designs even come with side tracks that fit the blind directly to your recess to help you block out light even further – ideal in street-facing bedrooms for an uninterrupted night’s sleep.
No Drill Options for Effortless Installation
If you’re looking for even easier installation, we offer made to measure No Drill Blinds that fit either between your recess or directly to your uPVC windows. Our PerfectFIT Blinds work wonders in french and patio doors, with cordless raising and lowering to ensure seamless light control without any cords getting caught.

A Variety of Designs, Colours and Patterns Available
Made to measure blinds are available with a plethora of designs for your interior scheme. From minimalist plains to maximalist patterned blinds including florals, geometrics and more, you can easily find a style for your windows.
Made to measure doesn’t just apply to the size of your window dressing, either. Certain materials can be paired with a light filtering, thermal or blackout lining, allowing you to shade your home exactly to your requirements while creating a stunning statement.
