Frequently Asked Questions

What are the popular patterns for roller blinds?
Floral patterns are a perennial favourite. They're always in fashion and a fabulous way of bringing a touch of nature and elegance to any room. They range from delicate, subtle designs to bold, vibrant blooms. Stripes are also popular and a great way to add a touch of personality and colour to a room. For a contemporary feel, modern abstract or geometric designs create visual interest. Scenic landscapes, retro patterns, and vintage motifs remain ever-popular thematic choices.
What is the best colour for roller blinds?
The best colour for roller blinds depends on several factors such as your room's overall aesthetic, the function and ambience of the room, the existing décor, the colour scheme and of course personal choice.
Generally, neutral tones such as white, black, beige, cream or grey are versatile choices that work well in most spaces. They won't clash with existing colours and give you flexibility for décor changes in the future. Light colours can open up a room, whilst dark colours create a cosier atmosphere. Warm colours energise a space, and cool colours evoke calmness.
Personal preference plays a big role, so you'll want to choose a colour that resonates with your style and enhances your space.
Are roller blinds trendy?
Roller blinds are very much in style and extremely popular in the UK. They're the most sought-after type of blind. Due to their consistent popularity collections are regularly updated to reflect the latest trends in interior design ensuring they never go out of style.
Should blinds be lighter or darker than walls?
Choosing blinds that are lighter or darker than your walls is generally a matter of personal preference, with no strict rules. Matching blind colour to walls can create a seamless look, potentially making the wall appear larger. However, a large, blank closed blind might seem a little empty or odd in the middle of an otherwise decorated wall.
Darker blinds can make a statement and add warmth but may overwhelm some smaller rooms. Lighter blinds can make a room feel bright and airy but may make large rooms feel cold or empty. Ultimately, it's best to prioritise matching your blinds' tone (warm or cool) to your walls for a more cohesive look.
Do roller blind patterns go inside or out?
The pattern almost always faces inside because it is meant to be seen and enjoyed from inside the room. This question is more commonly asked regarding whether the pattern should be visible around the tube or not. Having the pattern shown over the tube is known as reverse roll (the fabric hangs down the front of the roller tube), whilst seeing the back of the fabric around the tube is known as standard roll (the fabric hangs down the back of the roller tube). This is largely a matter of personal choice.
Can I get a patterned roller blind as a blackout?
Absolutely. Many of our most popular patterns and printed designs are available with a blackout backing fabric or lining, providing total light control without compromising on style.
