So...you're looking for roman or blind fitting bracket. Curtains are finished. Drab drapery is out. Dodgy coverings with expensive stain treatment are old hat. Blinds now come in so many shades that you can't afford to be without them.

To choose your ideal blind you don't even need to leave the house. Web-Blinds are part of the UK's largest made-to-measure blinds group, Hillarys and give you similar choices and options that you'd expect from your high street store – it's a lifestyle choice...

Always make sure that you measure your windows with a steel tape. Never use a cloth tape. Measure sizes to the nearest eighth of an inch to ensure accuracy. Windows are not usually perfectly square...so don't worry - you probably won't notice!

Pleated blinds gently filter the light to bring a warm glow to your room. Two pleat widths are available, allowing you to create different feels for different rooms. For a traditional and classic look opt for the 25mm width. If you prefer a more contemporary style, the 20mm width is ideal.

To make the most of your blind choose accessories to match the colour and fabric. For example, in your bedroom, try to co-ordinate the sheets on the bed and the vases on the bedside table.

Bay windows take up a great deal of space and so they make an ideal focal point. Why not get roller blinds that co-ordinate not only with the colour on the walls but also with one or two carefully chosen accessories to give it that contemporary look?

In many respects curtains are a thing of the past as well - no more guessing what colour covering to use...or whether to have to give them a treatment against staining...so welcome to the world of the blinds.

Pleated blinds are very versatile and can be used in any style of conservatory. Made to measure blinds are usually widely available.
