MORE ABOUT MADE TO MEASURE BLINDS

Deciding on a new pair of window blinds for your home can be tough. With so many
options ranging in style, colour, and fabric, it can be hard to know where to
begin. Across roller blinds, roman blinds, venetian blinds, vertical blinds, and
more, Terrys offer a wide range of window blinds and curtains that'll spruce up
your home instantly.

To help you decide which of our window blinds are for you, our handy blinds
buying guides should help you to narrow down the best fit for your home.


MADE TO MEASURE BLINDS: FAQS


HOW TO MEASURE WINDOW BLINDS?

Measuring window blinds needn't be a daunting task. Depending on the style of
blind you choose and the effect you're looking for from your blind, there are
different ways to approach measurement.

Using our handy measuring guides, you'll be able to find the right technique for
your blind, as we have video tutorials covering roman, roller, vertical and
venetian blinds.

Should you prefer a blackout blind, you'll need to decide whether you require a
total blackout effect. If you do, the blind will need to be fitted outside of
the window recess to ensure the blackout lining is fully obscuring the window -
so you'll need to measure the length and width of the wall surrounding the
window recess. If you'd prefer the blind to sit within the recess, measure the
length and width of the window including the frame - but do be prepared for a
small amount of light to seep through the gaps between the edge of the blind and
the recess.

Follow the same principle when it comes to measuring for roller blinds, vertical
blinds, and venetian blinds - decide whether you'd prefer the blind hung within
the window recess or outside of it and note down the width and length necessary
to cover the window.


WHAT TYPE OF BLINDS ARE BEST FOR BEDROOMS?

When it comes to deciding what type of window blinds are best for your bedroom,
there are a few key considerations to keep in mind, namely: privacy, light, and
your interior design aesthetic. Should you be overlooked by neighbours and need
more privacy in your space, choosing a venetian, wooden, or vertical blind will
allow you to feel less observed whilst still allowing light into the room. If
you're struggling to sleep through early sunrises or dealing with bright street
lights late at night, try a blackout blind for the bedroom. Roman and roller
blinds are styled with the greatest range of fabric, colour, and texture to
choose from. Should you want to add a classic floral Roman blind to a master
bedroom or a bright roller blind in a child's bedroom - you'll find the perfect
bedroom blind in our stunning collection.


HOW TO CLEAN FABRIC BLINDS?

The best way to clean fabric blinds varies according to each individual product.
For instance, a velvet Roman blind will likely need to be cleaned very
differently from a blackout roller blind. As there isn't one rule for how to
clean cloth window blinds, we'd advise that you always check the label or
cleaning instructions the blind came with to ensure you're not risking any
shrinkage, colour running, or other damage to the material.


WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN BLINDS WITHOUT TAKING THEM DOWN?

It's fairly easy to clean blinds without taking them down as long as you stay on
top of general maintenance. A weekly dust or wipe down with a microfiber cloth
will ensure that any excess dust and dirt doesn't build up on your window
blinds, preventing any mould or mildew from forming. Should you have one,
running a handheld hoover over your blind (using the fabric attachment) will
also work well. The longer you leave blinds without cleaning them, the more
likely it becomes that you'll have to take them down to properly tackle dirt and
dust.
