We want our blinds to fit into your interior seamlessly, so we developed custom hardware that is as unnoticeable as possible and then created the best colour options we could. See what you think…
We offer the widest selection of standard colours in the industry for components, cassettes and fascia for covering blind mechanisms, from pleated blinds, cellular blinds to roller blinds, vertical blinds and venetian blinds.
Still can’t find the right hardware match? We have our own powder coating room in our factory in Ashford Kent. We can coordinate with your interior using the RAL colour matching system which identifies colours for paints, coatings and plastics.
Love that modern classic pinoleum so much you want to tie it into your room colour? No problem. We have our own paint room in our factory, so we can colour match to any Farrow & Ball paint. Our consultant will work with you to define your shade and we will get to work.
Our R&D team have specifically developed compact components to make the hardware as unobtrusive as possible in your room. That way, when you colour match to your interior, they seem to disappear… technical magic!
Our fabric library includes a wide range of options tailored to the different purposes of fabric blinds and the current trends in interiors and design
We have a wide selection of fabrics designed to provide varying levels of light control, from dim-out to translucent and complete blackout. Our vision blinds even offer a ‘venetian blind effect’ of stripes of opaque and translucent fabric, while pinoleum blinds offer a modern country feel.
Many of our fabrics, especially our Duette®, SuperCell, and pleated fabrics offer excellent thermal insulation, helping to keep rooms warm in winter and cool in summer. If you need insulated blinds for winter, then look no further.
We update our fabric library regularly inspired by interior trends. All our fabrics come in a range of styles and colours, so customers to choose options that match their home’s style.
Sometimes the only way you know if a fabric for blinds is right is to see it yourself in situ. Our consultants will talk you through all the fabric options for the blind you have suggested and are happy to request a sample for you to keep.
Yes, the amount of heat and light transmitted through the fabric will change depending on its colour. In general, lighter coloured fabrics are best for reducing heat as they reflect heat out of the room. Darker colour fabrics are recommended for reducing glare as less light is transmitted through the fabric. It’s important to discuss your main goals when you have a consultation with us so that we can offer the best advice on materials for blinds, as well as blind colours.
We have a full range of Duette®, SuperCell™, Solar Design™ and other pleated fabrics in over 100 colours. Our consultants bring samples of our full fabric range to your first meeting so you can look through the selection for yourself and choose your favourite blind colours.
Our Pinoleum range comes in a variety of different colours and weaves, with a choice of edging braids. We are able to paint English pinoleum blinds with the Farrow & Ball® colour palette in our powder coating and paint room in our factory in Ashford, Kent.
If you’re looking for different materials for blinds, then our pinoleum range could be the answer for you.

We received very thorough advice from the sales person who came to our house. He seemed passionate and confident about the blinds he was advising us on. He pointed us to features we had not contemplated. There was a wide range of types of blinds + colours. We love the smaller string holes on our pleated blinds and the string in the colour of the blinds; a tiny feature with quite an impact.
Ordering was easy, we were told a time frame but in the end the blinds were ready to be fitted well ahead of schedule. Excellent communication throughout. The fitter was on time, friendly and fast working.
Understanding, polite, tidy and competitive. Very good range of colours to choose from. Samples sent quickly.
