From hard-to-reach windows in an attic conversion to expansive bay windows, trying to find the perfect blinds for an awkward window shape can seem daunting. Fortunately, we have some tips and tricks to help you find the ideal bespoke blinds for any window in your home.
Why bespoke electric blinds are an ideal choice for awkward windows
A key benefit that makes bespoke blinds perfect for awkward window shapes is the fact you can customise them to fit any unique space.
For example, if you have a bay window, you can opt for electric blinds that can be bent to fit the curve of the bay. Alternatively, if you have an irregularly-shaped window, such as an arch or a triangle, you can speak to a bespoke blind and curtain provider about creating a tailor-made design.
You might also want to consider whether to go for manual or electric blinds. Although bespoke manual blinds can be tailored to suit a unique window shape, electric blinds bring an additional advantage. Not only do they provide privacy and light control, but they are also easy to operate. With just the touch of a button, you can raise or lower your electric blinds to the desired position. This is especially useful for difficult-to-reach windows, such as those located above a bathtub or high up on a wall.
Finding the perfect bespoke blinds for your window
The beauty of bespoke blinds and curtains is the fact you can customise them completely — not only in terms of shape but also their aesthetic. Whether you’re looking for blackout blinds for the bedroom or a light and airy design for a conservatory, you’re sure to find electric blinds to suit your home and lifestyle.
Here are some areas to consider when choosing bespoke blinds for irregular windows:
Measure carefully
While it’s important to get accurate measurements on any window, when you’re dealing with irregular shapes that need custom designs, every millimetre matters! Double-check all your measurements and calculations before sending them to a designer.
Choose the right headrails and tracks
To ensure your blinds hang in the position you want them to and cover the window adequately, it’s important to get the right fixtures and fittings. After all, there’s little point in choosing the perfect blind size and shape if you can’t attach it with absolute precision. If you’re unsure what type of rail or track to opt for, why not get in touch with our friendly team? We can help you find exactly what you need.
Consider professional fitting services
You might be tempted to go the DIY route and fit your electric blinds yourself. However, with an awkward window shape, there tends to be more room for error. By speaking with a professional, you can feel confident knowing your blinds will fit your unusual window as accurately as possible.
