Designer Roller Blinds

Today’s roller blind retailers offer designer roller blinds to match any home décor. Whether you prefer an image printed on your roller blinds or one of hundreds of textures, you’ll be sure to find what you’re looking for.

Buy your custom roller blinds online and you can even design the pattern yourself by uploading your favourite picture or colourful drawing to be imprinted on the roller blinds. Affordable and stylish, roller blinds are available online in a wide range of made-to-measure sizes or you can have custom size blinds made as well.

Whether you need to cover the windows in your master bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, kids’ or guest bedroom, den or any other room in your home or apartment, roll up blinds are practical and easy to operate. Roller blinds offer great flexibility in controlling window light and privacy while adding colour and texture to your room décor.

Custom designer roller blinds are available in hundreds of colours, textures and patterns, or you can create your own unique texture online!

Design Your Own Blinds

So how do you design your own custom roller blinds? First, think about the theme of your room. If you have a nautical theme, then perhaps an image of sea shells lying on a beach will look nice. If your ten-year-old son loves movies or cartoons, you could use an image of his favourite action hero. Or, if your girl is wild about horses, why not use a photo of a horse galloping through a grassy meadow? Really, your options are limited only by your imagination and creativity!

Next, decide which online retailer to use. There are several highly reputable online window blinds retailers who cater to the UK market and several others who cater to the US market. Be sure to check the retailer’s shipping cost and delivery time to your home as well as their return policy before ordering.

Retailers like web-blinds offer you an online software tool that allows you to choose from one of hundreds of patterns and textures or upload your own image for that completely custom roll up blind design. Be sure to measure correctly based on whether your blinds will mount inside or outside the window opening and order accordingly; you don’t want to be disappointed when the parcel arrives and you are anxious to install your new custom roller blinds!

When selecting the pattern and type of roller blind you want, remember to consider these tips:

• Select colours that are complementary to the scheme of your room; choose from light pastels to bold, bright colours to darker, rich hues or even neutral white, off white or navy or black for a monotone look.
• Select a fabric that is appropriate to the functional needs of the room in which you will be installing your blind; a semi-opaque fabric will give your room a soft, diffused light while blackout materials will help darken the room completely.

Roller blinds with semi-translucent fabric create a soft, diffused light in your room.
• Remember to match texture of your roll up blind fabric to your room décor also. A woven wood texture will look good if your room has natural stone or wood grains. Something with geometric patterns may look good if your room décor is modern.
• Choose a texture such as stones, basket or cane for a more natural look.
• Choose an image of silk or other fabric to give your roller shade a softer look.
• A popular bathroom roller blind texture is bubbles and water scenes, while in the kitchen a chocolate rose image or your favorite cuisine could look interesting.
• For a romantic, exotic look, you can choose an image from some faraway place that evokes the mood of a Parisian café, an African safari or even your favourite tropical paradise.
• If you want to bring the feeling of nature and the outdoors into your room, try a picture of grasses, flowers, a nature or garden scene on your custom roller blind.
