As with anything, it comes down to personal preference - what you like the look of. If you're interested in the current trend for interior design though, it is…

Yep - that's right. Completely separate blinds, as they'll be on different brackets to be recess and face fits. I think it'll look very neat being done that way, and…

Hi Led-Zep,
Just remember, measurements off the plan are great in order to obtain quotes. But assuming you're having your blinds/shutters custom made, make sure you take exact measurements once the…

Hi Avoca,
This is very common - we're constantly supplying blinds for new houses. House plans are great to get quotes from, but you'll find when it comes to measuring the…

Hi Lan,
Blinds really don't get dirty quickly - particular roller blinds which have a flat piece of material (so there aren't grooves for the dust to settle). Most blinds fabrics…
