Woodstock, Olive - Roman Blind
247 Pro Tips:
- If your recess depth is 60mm or less or the window opens inwards, you'll be best off with an exact fitting. For recesses bigger than 60mm it's really just a matter of personal taste.
- When measuring to fit inside the recess, check for anything such as tiling or picture rails that could get in the way and take them into account when measuring. We normally advise just to measure between any tiling so as to ensure a nice, snug fit.
- For the best results when measuring for an exact fitting, allow your blind to overlap the edges of the recess by at least 35mm on each side. We'll then make a blind for your exact measurements and ship it with the brackets which will add an additional 3mm to the size you give us.
Additional Information:
- We try to make the measuring and ordering process as simple as possible - so for a recess fitting, we only require the full size of your recess space and we will make small adjustments to enable the blind to fit within that space. We make a 5mm deduction to the width of Roman blinds. If you wish to make your own allowances and do not require us to make them, please select exact fitting and not recess during the order process.

Roman blinds add a touch of luxury to most rooms, especially bedrooms and living rooms. Due to the soft texture, layers and different fibres involved, Roman blinds may not be a great fit for a bathroom or kitchen. However, we can recommend the perfect blinds for your bathroom here.
All our roman blinds are custom made in the UK.
Roman blinds are operated on a sidewinder chain attached to the headrail, you simply pull the chain to move the horizontal panels to the top forming a neat pleated stack when opened or pull the opposite side of the chain for a flat layer of fabric when closed. You will have the option to have the sidewinder on either the left or right when ordering.
We offer four different types of lining with great benefits essential for any home. Standard lining is at no extra cost and perfect if you want to keep the room bright and airy without blocking out all the light. Blackout lining is an extra cost but worth it for bedrooms to help you get a great night sleep, we also offer thermal and interlining to help insulate you room in winter and keep it cool in summer. Make sure you check out the question icon when selecting your lining type for full details on lining colours and properties.
As standard with all our roman blinds, you will receive a chrome sidewinder chain. chrome chains are made from nickel, easy to clean and rust-free!
