If you\u2019re just looking for a quick-and-dirty list of places that sell window blinds that don\u2019t need a second mortgage to fund them, all of the usual suspects have got you covered: Dunelm, Argos, Ikea, B&amp;Q, and Wilko, or moving up the price scale a little, Next and John Lewis. You get the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But where is the <em>best <\/em>place to buy blinds online? That\u2019s a rather different question, because \u201cbest\u201d is a fairly highly-loaded term, and depends in large part on the interpretation of the asker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full disclosure: I\u2019m writing this on behalf of English Blinds, and keeping folk like you picking blinds like ours ensures that I can keep the lights on at home. So obviously, the best place to buy blinds online is English Blinds, come an\u2019avverlook, me pretties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, I\u2019m also somewhat mindful of the Advertising Standards Authority coming for me in the night, and so I\u2019m going to use this article to outline objectively what constitutes the best place to buy blinds for you <em>personally<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This involves knowing what to take into account when working out which company makes the best blinds for your needs, be that impressing the neighbours or shelling out the bare minimum to keep said neighbours from calling the police when you\u2019re just trying to find your pants with the lights on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contents:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"toc-list\" role=\"list\">\t\t\n\t<li><a href=\"#sec1\">1: Where is the best place to buy readymade blinds online?<\/a><\/li>\n\t<li><a href=\"#sec2\">2: Where is the best place to buy made-to-measure blinds online, and can I even afford them?<\/a><\/li>\n\t<li><a href=\"#sec3\">3: How much do made-to-measure blinds cost?<\/a><\/li>\n\t<li><a href=\"#sec4\">4: What is the best online blind company?<\/a><\/li>\n\t<li><a href=\"#sec5\">5: Which company makes the best blinds?<\/a><\/li>\n\t<li><a href=\"#sec6\">6: What to look for when choosing a blinds company.<\/a><\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec1\">Where is the best place to buy readymade blinds online?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/readymade-roller-blinds-ready-to-be-assembled.jpg\" alt=\"Readymade roller blinds ready to be assembled\" class=\"wp-image-7965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/readymade-roller-blinds-ready-to-be-assembled.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/readymade-roller-blinds-ready-to-be-assembled-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/readymade-roller-blinds-ready-to-be-assembled-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/readymade-roller-blinds-ready-to-be-assembled-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>High street\/online retailers like Argos, Ikea, Dunelm, and the others mentioned above sell readymade blinds in theoretically standard window sizes and\/or \u201calmost the right fit\u201d kind of sizes to trim at home if you\u2019re confident\/maverick enough. Some of them sell a smattering of made-to-measure blinds too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retailers like these do have a reasonably wide range of colour and pattern options, but this is somewhat deceptive. You\u2019ll rarely get much choice of fabric types or qualities, and very little in the way of customization options on things like frameworks and controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, the big-name high street blind retailers selling online do tend to be keenly priced, which is a big plus if you\u2019re redecorating on a budget, or trying to do up a house to sell\/rent rather than styled to your own tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec2\">Where is the best place to buy made-to-measure blinds online, and can I even afford them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/white-faux-wood-blinds-with-tapes-in-sitting-room.jpg\" alt=\"White made to measure faux wood blinds with tapes in sitting room\" class=\"wp-image-7967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/white-faux-wood-blinds-with-tapes-in-sitting-room.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/white-faux-wood-blinds-with-tapes-in-sitting-room-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/white-faux-wood-blinds-with-tapes-in-sitting-room-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/white-faux-wood-blinds-with-tapes-in-sitting-room-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to made-to-measure blinds, there are way more companies out there to choose between than you might suspect.

Ok, now I\u2019ve gotten that out of my system\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which company makes the best blinds? As I alluded to at the outset, the \u201cbest\u201d blinds are the ones that tick the boxes that are important to you, or come as close to it as possible factoring in potentially contradictory variables; like wanting Roman blinds made with 24k gold thread in every room of your home but also, needing to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth squeezing the fruit a little before you buy too, as it were; in terms of getting and comparing samples from a few retailers. Because it\u2019s not overly wise to shell out for one or more blinds sight unseen and hope that the colours and quality translate from your laptop screen to your window in the way you hope they will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good online blinds retailers (we may not be the only one <img src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/classic-smilies\/img\/icon_sad.gif\" alt=\":-(\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> ) will cheerfully send you any number of samples of fabrics and materials to allow you to make an informed choice before ordering for cashmoney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will also help you to rule out companies that won\u2019t send you samples, and those that seem to think a 2\u201d fabric square showing 5% of a print is enough information on which to base a significant purchasing decision, and\/or that are happy to send you \u201cfree\u201d samples, as long as you cover the \u00a320 shipping costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec5\">Which company makes the best blinds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/real-wooden-blinds-with-tapes-in-cosy-bedroom.jpg\" alt=\"Real wooden blinds with tapes made by English Blinds in cosy bedroom\" class=\"wp-image-7971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/real-wooden-blinds-with-tapes-in-cosy-bedroom.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/real-wooden-blinds-with-tapes-in-cosy-bedroom-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/real-wooden-blinds-with-tapes-in-cosy-bedroom-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/real-wooden-blinds-with-tapes-in-cosy-bedroom-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the five key things to consider when deciding which company makes the best blinds <em>for yo<\/em>u:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Pricing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Value and price are absolutely not the same thing, but there is nothing more patronising than someone harking on about how you need to spend \u00a3200 to get a good x-y-z, when you only actually have \u00a350 and even that\u2019s a stretch. You need to choose the best blinds company that also falls within your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Style.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means colour, pattern, and materials, but also the blind type too. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/ask-an-expert\/the-five-different-types-of-window-blinds-explained\/\">Different types of blinds<\/a> (Venetians, rollers and so on) are each suited to different types of applications; like filtering light, blacking light out entirely, insulating a window, fitting to a supermassive gurt huge window, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all companies offer all blind styles and particularly, blinds for patio doors and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/long-blinds\">very tall<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/extra-wide-window-blinds\">wide windows<\/a>, so narrow down the type of blind you want before getting Googley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Application.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By this I mean the room type and challenges the blind will face, rather than how it looks and \u201cacts.\u201d For instance, if you are looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/kitchen-blinds\">kitchen blinds<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/bathroom-blinds\">bathroom blinds<\/a>, they\u2019ll need to be waterproof or water resistant, and able to handle heat and humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Quality.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality of a blind is integral to its lifespan, both functionally and how long it takes to start looking tatty. This can be hard to determine until your blind is in the field (or playroom) but getting fabric and materials samples and also checking the blind maker\u2019s reputation before ordering should give you enough insight to make a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Who you\u2019re dealing with.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s all good and well if an online blind company appears to be offering the style of blind you want for the application you need in a quality you like at the price you want to pay; but is that really the case?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or are you going to be left in a similar if potentially less-dramatic position than the women who ordered knock-off versions of couture wedding dresses from Wish back when we really did not know better about that type of thing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caveat emptor, my friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec6\">What to look for when choosing a blinds company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/white-pvc-faux-wood-blinds-white-and-grey-kitchen.jpg\" alt=\"White faux wood blinds made by English Blinds in a white and grey kitchen\" class=\"wp-image-7972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/white-pvc-faux-wood-blinds-white-and-grey-kitchen.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/white-pvc-faux-wood-blinds-white-and-grey-kitchen-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/white-pvc-faux-wood-blinds-white-and-grey-kitchen-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/white-pvc-faux-wood-blinds-white-and-grey-kitchen-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to good UK blinds companies, look for dudes who can be contacted directly if you need help or have questions, that provide clear instructions with their blinds, that can offer advice on measuring and fitting if needed, and that have meaningful quality control protocols in place too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the returns policy if there\u2019s a fault or issue with a blind, what guarantee is offered on their goods, and of course, their reputation, presence or absence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekomi.co.uk\/review-english-blinds.html\">online reviews<\/a>, and how long they\u2019ve been around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What Google autofill gives you if you enter their company name can be very enlightening too\u2026 (Pro tip: if it\u2019s something like \u201cdefrauded me\u201d or \u201cis a scam,\u201d maybe consider that this is not what to look for. When choosing a blinds company, a well-established business based in the UK is highly desirable of course; like, say, a company that\u2019s been designing, manufacturing, and retailing made-to-measure window blinds since 1988 and selling them online since 2001 too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK THAT\u2019S US DID YOU GUESS?
