BLINDS

 

What kind of lining do you recommend for blinds?

Roman blinds are usually backed with a protective ivory or white lining. A blackout lining can be used to exclude most of the light. Blackout lining is off-white. Muslin or "Sheer" blinds are semi-transparent and are a good alternative to net curtains. Blinds can be interlined to give them a soft cosier look.   This is great for silk etc. Linen voile if thick enough, can be used un-lined. Alternatively, we will line the blind in a white or cream, thin transparent voile.  

What kind of borders can I have on my blinds?                                                                                        
The blind can be plain or it can have various types of border trim. We will create a border out of any fabric, ribbon or braid that you supply. Please note that the border trim should not be too bulky.
